Twins on the up

12.12.2018

Are multiple births on the increase? My twin boys turned 5 years old today. Wow, time flies. Life is never dull, because twins are still seen as something of a novelty, so wherever we go, we find ourselves in conversation with strangers, who are intrigued by the whole thing. In order to save time if we ever meet, here’s some FAQ’s: No, they�...

A wee look at group_map and group_split in dplyr

The aim of this post – take a first look at these and try and get a new blog post up on github before February is out. Time now: 23:38(UK) What it says on the tin Load packages...

data.table by a dummy

29.04.2019
