How to go about interpreting regression cofficients
Following my post about logistic regressions, Ryan got in touch about one bit of building logistic regressions models that I didn’t cover in much detail – interpreting regression coefficients. This post will hopefully help Ryan (and others) out. @SteffLocke This was so helpful. Thank you! I'd love to see more about interpreting the glm coef...

It improves upon the methods used in Rtraining, and previous work on this topic can read by going to the auto deploying R documentation tag. I keep banging on about this area because reproducible research / analytical document pipelines is an area I’ve a k...

Using purrr with APIs – revamping my code
I wrote a little while back about using Microsoft Cognitive Services APIs with R to first of all detect the language of pieces of text and then do sentiment analysis on them. I wasn’t too happy with the some of the code as it was very inelegant. I knew I could code better than I had, especially as I’ve been doing a lot more work with purrr re...
