Every data science project needs a data validation step. It’s a crucial part, especially when feeding data into machine learning models. You don’t want errors or unexpected behaviors in a...continue reading.
When interviewing impressive applicants from a stunning variety of places and background for fellows in our Data Science for Social Good program (in Warwick and Kaiserslautern) this summer, we came...continue reading.
After writing the initial version of a tutorial on wrapping and binding R functions on the javascript side of WebR, I had a number of other WebR projects on the...continue reading.
Hey, JAGS users and would-be users, be warned that registration is now open for the annual JAGS workshop on probabilistic modelling for cognitive science. The tenth instalment of this workshop...continue reading.
It’s difficult to believe it has only been a couple of weeks since WebR has been around. But that might just be my perception. The spike protein invasion has significantly...continue reading.
I have graphics working in Vanilla JS WebR, now, and I’ll cover the path to that in two parts. The intent was to jump straight into ggplot2-land, but, as you...continue reading.
I have a post coming on using base and {ggplot2} plots in VanillaJS WebR, but after posting some bits on social media regarding how slow {ggplot2} is to deal with,...continue reading.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the second annual ShinyConf 2023 by Appsilon! ShinyConf aims to achieve three main objectives: showcasing recent advancements in R Shiny technology, promoting community engagement among...continue reading.
ShinyConf 2023 begins this week! With a great lineup of speakers and showcases this year, we thought we’d recap a small handful of last year’s recorded talks. 2022 was a...continue reading.
Quarto is exciting! It is simple, seamless, and easy to use! Do you know what makes it even better? Interaction. Quarto integrates with R/Shiny instances and provides you with a...continue reading.
A combinatorics puzzle from The Riddler about a Napoli solitaire where 4 x 10 cards numbered from 1 to 10 are shuffled and the game is lost when a number...continue reading.
Let’s walk through how to set up a ~minimal HTML/JS/CS + WebR-powered “app” on a server you own. This will be vanilla JS (i.e. no React/Vue/npm/bundler) you can hack on...continue reading.
While it sounds like the title of a science-fiction catastrophe novel or of a (of course) convoluted nouveau roman, this book by Nick Huntington-Klein is a massive initiation to econometrics...continue reading.
WebR 0.1.0 was released! I had been git-stalking George (the absolute genius who we all must thank for this) for a while and noticed the GH org and repos being...continue reading.
When a person opens their medicine cabinet, they open the door to ingenuity: a confluence of nature and human discovery that has found cures for diseases and helps manage the...continue reading.
In this first in a series of posts on group-equivariant convolutional neural networks (GCNNs), meet the main actors — groups — and concepts (equivariance). With GCNNs, we finally revisit the...continue reading.
The 8th of March is celebrated as International Women’s Day (IWD). It’s here to remind us about women’s achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, and motivate us to take action to...continue reading.
It was my great pleasure to present last week to the NYC Data Hackers on the topic of Copilot for R. If you haven’t come across Copilot before, it’s like...continue reading.
Nothing short of wacky usage of plot() function with xspline to interpolate the points, but still a “parameter” short of Bezier’s curve. 🙂 Given two random vectors, you can generate...continue reading.
Recently, I wrote a blog post stating that I’m starting to use Python for most of my data science work. And I’m starting to recommend Python as the data science...continue reading.
