Guy Prochilo 🏳️‍🌈 (@GuyProchilo; 869/270): #Rstats: datapasta is SO COOL! Easily copy data from excel (or even html tables from the web) & paste in R as fully-formatted dataframes!

1. install.packages(“datapasta”)
2. Set a useful keyboard paste shortcut

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 339/72): Today is #rmarkdown day. My #knitr trick is read_chunk. I separate my #rstats scripts from the md document for a large proj. Bc I usually write R code first and then document the analysis. read_chunk reads the external R chunks into the md. It forces you to name the chunk. https://t.co/JuvNW9Lxe6 ↪

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 273/69): #rstats #dataviz Except for facet_grid() & facet_wrap(), these additions provide more contextual layout to #ggplot2 :

blogdown

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 75/5): I highly recommend learning #RMarkdown because there’s so many things you can do with it! I have used #blogdown to make several websites and found it very easy to get a site up and running! ↪

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 29/5): Web deployment with travis ci for an #rstats project is just as easy as 3 steps if you’re using the tic 📦 by @krlmlr :

1️⃣usethis::use_travis()
2️⃣tic::use_tic()
3️⃣a third step? 🤔

It works like a charm for building a pkgdown/bookdown/blogdown site. ➡️https://t.co/itqm80DqVN ↪

Dr Chris Marshall (@Dr_C_Marshall; 20/9): In between working on projects, I’ve built a website in R today (https://t.co/JnaX4AnTBM) using @dsquintana’s really helpful tutorial from a while ago on the blogdown package. Thanks, Dan! #Rstats ↪

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 6/0): @Chucheria @kierisi Done now via https://t.co/HhR0gdtBPb ↪

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 5/1): Pretty much all you have to do is find a #hugo theme that suits your fancy, run a function call to build the site in your console (blogdown::new_site(theme = “”) and you’re ready to customize your site! ↪

Jessica Streeter (@phillynerd; 5/0): And thanks to @JonTheGeek for his guide, and everyone who suggested the wonderful guide by @apreshill as well as the blogdown book. It still took a billion tries, hours and hours of trying and googling errors, and a few more grey hairs, but I made it! 2/2 https://t.co/n0g8n0ZJ24 ↪

Mike Kearney📊 (@kearneymw; 3/0): @BenjaminWolfe @thomas_mock @JosephineLukito I started with “hugo-nuo” https://t.co/E5NBzPgTem (which you can totally use with blogdown::new_site(theme = "laozhu/hugo-nuo")) and I’ve modified various odds and ends from there https://t.co/ZUTpE4btUs ↪

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 2/0): @kearneymw @thomas_mock @JosephineLukito No seriously though is it a Hugo / #blogdown template? Or based on one? ↪

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 2/0): @randomjohn @oscar_b123 I guess you meant this: https://t.co/a762ut1xTs :) ↪

Morgs Brew (@morgsbrew; 1/1): Is it possible to link a @github repository owned by User A, into a #Blogdown @xieyihui site with its own repository also owned by User A? Like its own project that is highlighted on the Blogdown site hosted by Netlify. #rstats ↪

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 1/0): If you have previously installed the #blogdown package, you can also build a new site when you create a new project in #rstudio. ↪

John Grewar (@jdata_rsa; 1/0): Saved by #blogdown (https://t.co/mxcydWt6nB) thanks @xieyihui for a great product, was struggling with getting the blog component of my site working and this sorted me out! still busy converting old posts into #rmarkdown format but on my way https://t.co/l2Be7N15mk ↪

John Cassil (@johncassil; 0/1): #rstats #blogdown question!
When I post a link to this blogdown post on my website ( https://t.co/pzQSTuA8oJ )
I’d like it to show a preview of the post, not some css. How do I do this? What are the #meta description search terms I should be looking for? Thanks!

Solomon Kurz (@SolomonKurz; 9/0): Looks like I finally have a robust solution to the #bookdown + PDF output + complicated LaTeX formula conundrum. The PDF version should be out in a week. In the meantime, let be known @SMasschelein is a boss. ↪

Dan S. Reznik 🔎 (@dreznik; 6/2): a brazilian portuguese translation of #r4ds #rstats has showed up in hardcopy format on the internet and on some university bookstores in brazil. questions: (1) is this legit in terms of copyright, and (2) where is the free web-accessible bookdown version of it??? @hadleywickham https://t.co/3JzErDmeX1 ↪

Sharla Gelfand (@sharlagelfand; 3/0): @swmpkim @alexpghayes right?! if you want to apply a lot of styling, you can put it in a separate file (e.g. preamble.tex) and then put

output:
bookdown::pdf_document2:
includes:
in_header: preamble.tex

in your yaml instead

(replace pdf_document2 with whatever pdf output you’re using) ↪

Sean Kross (@seankross; 3/0): @farbandish Do you know about yolo = true? https://t.co/PBeTz4ESc3 ↪

Oleksiy Anokhin (@OleksiyAnokhin; 2/2): #rstats folks, is it possible to implement shiny elements (not an app) into a bookdown document? In the same way as just a RMarkdown doc. I want to have interactive elements in my book, if possible, similar to “runtime: shiny” ↪

Christopher Peters (@statwonk; 1/0): @haziq_azizi I just took a look and it sure does! https://t.co/VGHgevI8LL

If we use a Bayesian method, we can summarize the posterior distribution rather than rely on tests for params. The book “Statistical Rethinking” does this well. https://t.co/Vw21TgMxf6

cc @AllenDowney @SolomonKurz ↪

Chris Holdgraf (@choldgraf; 1/0): @gvwilson Two quick thoughts: I wonder if @SylvainCorlay and the @QuantStack team have thought about diagrams with widgets. Also, couldn’t you effectively split a notebook into multiple pieces with bookdown? (or jupyter-book for that matter) ↪

Alistair Bailey (@alistair604; 1/0): @jessenleon I favour jabref, and use it with bookdown in R. https://t.co/95M8EMNFMq ↪

knitr

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 84/19): Another #knitr trick is purl(): extracting all the #rstats chunks from a markdown document to a separate R file, simply do purl("example.Rmd"). It is useful when you want to share R code instead of the Rmd. It does the opposite to read_chunk(). ↪

Jason Mercer (@ecojydrology; 9/2): I’m goofing around with making a website for a paper I’m working on, as a way to open up my science to the public. Rmarkdown, knitr, and GitHub are just amazing resources for this kind of thing. Pretty stoked on the #rstats community. Thanks @xieyihui, @rstudio, and @github! ↪

Tormod Bøe (@tormodboe; 7/2): The combo: dev. update of texreg (@PhilipLeifeld), knitr::kable (@xieyihui), and kableExtra (@haozhu233 ) closes the case for making any tables and exporting them to any format you wish from rmarkdown - even regressions on imputed data! Thanks to all developers! #Rstats ↪

Ben Rubin (@Ben_D_Rubin; 5/4): A whole bunch of cool tricks here that I didn’t know including here, ggforce, and read_chunk!

Selfishly retweeting so I can easily find this again when I need it ;)

#rstats #rmarkdown #knitr https://t.co/fxT5OLNGka ↪

JD Long (@CMastication; 2/0): @michael_chirico @mdsumner The warnings=F is just what rmarkdown (or knitr?) use. ↪

Louise Ryan (@LouiseMarieRyan; 2/0): @statsgen Well said Emi! Proud to say I am a massive knitr fan …. does that count for #2? ↪

Henrik Bengtsson (@henrikbengtsson; 1/3): Is it possible (hack?) to use #rstats knitr/rmarkdown to use a single persistent session for the bash engine such that ‘ABC’ is set also in the 2nd chunk:

```{bash}
export ABC=42
```

```{bash}
echo “ABC=$ABC”
```

(sorry if this is in a FAQ somewhere) ↪

David Diviny (@daviddiviny; 1/0): Great trick! I think this is the most underrated feature of #rmarkdown and #knitr. https://t.co/rUXUaZDaXB ↪

ぱるユキ@Adelheid (@p_2vl; 1/0): knitrって読めねぇ ↪

boB 🇷udis (@hrbrmstr; 1/0): @henrikbengtsson https://t.co/gkkqwJfR0W is how {reticulate} does that for Python.

My suggestion is more of a “project” than a “hack” tho. ↪

boB 🇷udis (@hrbrmstr; 1/0): @henrikbengtsson I haven’t needed to do it but if you register your own knitr engine for a given interpreter you can do something like spawn a REPL and then feed the lines to the active REPL. https://t.co/lonvrf6NEG does not do that but it has boilerplate for making a knitr engine. ↪

Frank Harrell (@f2harrell; 1/0): @aqsalose 2nd edition has >100 new references, new case studies, new chapter on ordinal regression for continuous Y, and all the code runs in R. A good deal of code has changed, and the entire book is reproducible (written using R+knitr+LaTeX). ↪

Phil Neff (@cascadiasolid; 1/0): The goal of this, as @vm_wylbur says, is to avoid having to copy-paste data analysis outputs into a written report (also, accuracy and reproducibility). #pweave worked pretty well, though it’s not quite as slick as #sweave and #knitr in R. ↪

F Rodriguez-Sanchez (@frod_san; 1/0): @TimSalabim3 mmm works for me (using this example https://t.co/gphaoSTLva with knitr 1.22 and rmarkdown 1.12). But I get pure markdown image links always, not <img …> ↪

Ken Butler (@KenButler12; 0/1): today I learned: with a large Rmd document to turn into a Beamer presentation, use lualatex, specified in yaml header as shown, to avoid running into out-of-memory errors. #rstats #knitr https://t.co/4wKdomS5xU ↪

John Pickering (@kiwiskiNZ; 0/1): decrypt_file() from the encrypt package opens a dialogue box to enter a private key to decrypt a file. However, I can’t get this to run in a code chunk in #rstudio using #knitr. Any ideas #rstats peoples? ↪

志乃田たぐる (@shinoda_taguru; 0/1): iPad用のmarkdownスライドアプリ無さげだから、対応策を検討中。https://t.co/rtdUIgrIJ1に{revealjs}をインストールして、rmdファイルをuploadして、knitr したらふつーにスライドになった。https://t.co/rtdUIgrIJ1は日本語入力できないのね。今度は、良さげなエディタアプリを探さないとね。 https://t.co/w31U2ublFR ↪

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 41/7): Animating #rstats slides adds lots of fun to the presentation (and keeps the audience awake).

It is actually super easy (and fun) to animate #xaringan slides with animate.css https://t.co/r5HDpIdtkK 💃 Stepping into #xaringan opens up the whole CSS/JS world. https://t.co/uUXjaSzM51 ↪

Patrick Schratz (@pjs_228; 4/0): @grrrck @travisci @krlmlr @mbraginsky @_inundata @opencpu @rOpenSci It’s these kind of posts why we all love open-source! On the other hand I adopted your ggplot xaringan idea 💡 :) so all comes back. ↪

Alex Bresler (@abresler; 3/0): If you ever have to make a presentation @xieyihui xarigan is the greatest thing ever.

This is the best tutorial on the fun you can make with it.

https://t.co/oXJlw32PT5 ↪

John Hill (@JohnHill; 2/1): @BrendanTHalpin @pjakma @simongrund89 markdown + pandoc (via beamer) or Rmarkdowm + xaringan are also quite efficient. ↪

Chris Umphlett (@chrisumphlett; 2/0): I learned a lot of new stuff. S/o to the following who inspired, enabled or taught: @xieyihui and the #xaringan package, @EvaMaeRey’s #ggplot2 flipbook, @Spotify, @lastfm, @CMastication (easy way to hide API key), J. Kim’s #lastfmr package #womenshistorymonth ↪

Sylvain Lapoix (@SylvainLapoix; 2/0): @joelgombin L’ami @_ColinFay m’avait déjà fait découvrir les packages liés aux GIF. Avec cet outil, il contribue généreusement au projet de pop’isation de Xaringan.

Garrett Grolemund (@StatGarrett; 8/3): @GuillermoBurr @rstudio I prefer R Markdown - easy to diff, I don’t have to use it like a notebook, and it comes as part of a seamless toolchain for data science (RSPackage Manager > IDE > RMD > RSConnect). But, I’m biased! Lots of insights here: https://t.co/IujYyodsGW ↪

Andrew Heiss, PhD (@andrewheiss; 7/1): Also, AMAZING #rstats PSA: the Rd2roxygen package will convert old-style .Rd files into inline Roxygen commented documentation automatically. It also has built-in formatR support and will reformat old code for you as you convert https://t.co/7SlbgBTdfo ↪

Dan S. Reznik 🔎 (@dreznik; 1/2): For Python users, in the beginning there were classes and methods. For R users, in the beginning there was the DATA. #rstats ; both exploded because they were scripted and offered an effective way to share packages.
