I’ve recently learned about some handy {tidyverse} functions I didn’t know about, so I thought I’d compile them (and some other favourites of mine) into a blog post. Let me know your favourite functions! #rstats benharrap.com/post/2025-05…

Thing I just learned in #rstats: unz() lets you connect to a .zip and load files from inside it without actually unzipping it (great for a file I’m working with that’s 30 MB zipped and 1+ GB unzipped, with multiple CSVs in it)

Made a little something to help students quickly convert between wide and long data for my (no-code) viz class. Helpful for when Datawrapper or Rawgraphs insist on a particular format for certain chart types. Built with #svelte and #rstats using webR! pivotteer.netlify.app

Iโve long used FiveThirtyEightโs interactive โHack Your Way To Scientific Gloryโ to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

The problem with #rstats is portability. Shit like
df$x
has to be converted to dfโฌx
in Europe and dfยฃx
in the UK but nobody talks about this.

#rstats and #QuartoPub PSA: @vincentab.bsky.social’s {tinytable} is the absolute best table making package out there for LaTeX output (it natively supports tabularray!), and it’s phenomenal for HTML. It has fully replaced {gt} and {kableExtra} for me vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/
