How to draw a map of arbitrary contiguous regions, or visualizing the spread of COVID-19 in the Greater Region
Introduction I was able to blog during the year 2020 without mentioning the ongoing pandemic once. It’s not that I made any conscious effort not to talk about it, but I did not really want to do something that had already been done a 1000 times. This changed this year, when I wanted to look at the spread of COVID-19, not only in the Grand-Duchy...

R makes it too easy to write papers
I’m currently working on a preprint on the spread of COVID-19 in Luxembourg. My hypothesis is that landlocked countries, especially ones like Luxembourg that have very close ties to their neighbours have a very hard time controlling the pandemic, unlike island countries which can completely close off their borders, impose very drastic quarantin...

Server(shiny)-less dashboards with R, {htmlwidgets} and {crosstalk}
In this blog post, I want to discuss something that I, personally, have never seen discussed; how to create a “serverless” (or “shinyless” you could say) dashboard using R. I made one dashboard like that, which you can find here. This dashboard is running on a simple, standard web server. No Shiny involved! The idea is to create a dashboa...

Using explainability methods to understand (some part) of the spread of COVID-19 in a landlocked country
This blog post is based on an article I’m currently working on which you can find here. Contributions more than welcome! “You expect me to read all this?” The gist of this blog post can be summarised in the following sentence: lagged positive cases of the neighbouring regions of Luxembourg predict weekly positive cases in Luxembourg. But p...

How to treat as many files as fit on your hard disk without loops (sorta) nor running out of memory all the while being as lazy as possible
tl;dr This blog post is going to be long, and deal with many topics. But I think you’re going to enjoy it. So get a hot beverage and relax. Take the time to read. We don’t take enough time to read anymore. It’s a shame. But if you’re really busy, the tl;dr is that I found out a way of combining tidy evaluation and functional programming t...

The link between keyboard layouts and typing speed – Data collection phase
I’m curious about different keyboard layouts, and how that correlates with typing speed (if at all). I prepared a little 2 minute survey, and would be very grateful if you could take it. You can find it on this link. There’s no R code in this blog post, but I’ll be analyzing the data using R, promise 🙂 Hope you enjoyed! If you found this...

Dealing with non-representative samples with post-stratification
Let’s go back to stats 101: what do you do if you want to know how many people like to play bingo in a certain population? The answer, of course, is to ask a sample of people if they enjoy playing bingo, compute the proportion and then… we’re done! Right? Well not exactly. This works if your sample is representative, which in practice, is n...
