Data Munging With R Preview — Storing Values (Assigning)
Since about October last year, I’ve been writing an introduction to R book. It’s been quite the experience. I’ve finally started making time to document some of the interesting things I’ve learned (about R, about writing, about how to bring those two together) along the way. The book is aimed at proper beginners; people with absolutely n...

Thou shalt not compare numeric values (except when it works)
This was just going to be a few Tweets but it ended up being a bit of a rollercoaster of learning for me, and I haven’t blogged in far too long, so I’m writing it up quickly as a ‘hey look at that’ example for newcomers. I’ve been working on the ‘merging data’ part of my book and, as I do when I’m writing this stuff, I had a play...

JC and the Vignettes
If that’s not a great 1960’s band name then I don’t know what is (hint: I don’t know what is). At the start of the year I set out my ‘goals for 2018’ just like many of us do; an overly ambitious list of things we’d like to do to better ourselves. My list includes improving my French to better interact with a colleague I cohabitate ...

Constricted development with reticulate

Adding strings in R
This started out as a “hey, I wonder…” sort of thing, but as usual, they tend to end up as interesting voyages into the deepest depths of code, so I thought I’d write it up and share. Shoutout to @coolbutuseless for proving that a little curiosity can go a long way and inspiring me to keep digging into interesting topics. This is what you...

Even more images as x-axis labels
This is the last update to this strange saga… I hope. Image labels… Photo: http://www.premierpaper.com/shop/custom-labels/ Easily two of the most popular posts on my blog are this one and this one describing a couple of ways in which I managed to hack together using an image as a category label in a ggplot. There are likely many people who ...
