David Robinson (@drob; 235/42): In this #tidytuesday screencast, I analyze of fuel efficiency in cars (like mtcars, but with 42K obs of 84 variables!)

Did you know that most cars have higher fuel efficiency on highways, but most hybrids have higher efficiency in cities? 🤯🚘🚗

ResearcHers Code (@ResearcHersCode; 208/29): Personal process of coding fresh data in #rstats:

  1. Merge all data frames
  2. Make some ugly graphs– visualization of data is key
  3. Stare
  4. Eat chocolate
  5. Redo graphs and code appropriate associated stats
  6. Do these data make sense?
  7. Drink tea
  8. Repeat 2-7 ↪

Amrish Baidjoe (@Ammer_B; 136/83): Are you a field epidemiologist interested in switching to R for data analysis? @MSF and @RECONEPI have just launched #R4EPIs (https://t.co/gHg3kXz11L)!

Alison Haunted Hill 🧟‍♀️🏚 (@apreshill; 24/1): This #MadeWithAcademic site makeover looks so good 🕶

I love how the widgets and layouts with the academic theme let your site grow alongside your skills and needs - nice job @malco_barrett!

Malcolm Boorrett 👻🎃 (@malco_barrett; 12/0): Also, shout out to @apreshill, @dcossyle, and @ma_salmon, because I spent a lot of time looking at the beautiful blogdown sites they’ve been blooming across the web-garden. @apreshill’s series on #gohugo is super helpful, as well! https://t.co/6WPXHnyfs8 ↪

Benjamin Werewolfe 🐺🌕 (@BenjaminWolfe; 8/4): I just made my first #rstudio add-in + it’s stupid easy!

If you’ve ever wanted to try, do it! It’s so satisfying to load your #rstats 📦 + see it in the add-in menu. 😃

Siri Folstad (@sirifolstad; 7/1): Made my own website today using the #blogdown package in #rstudio: https://t.co/XwTXlBMMU5.

For the time being, I will use it to showcase my upcoming statistical analyses and scientific publications.

Thanks for the tutorial @dsquintana 🌟🤩 ↪

Sam Hunley (@shunley42; 6/3): It’s in need of a significant amount of love, but I have officially made a website using blogdown. And that feels pretty neat.

Thank you @ChelseaParlett, @jsonbecker, @apreshill, and others for the encouragement and resources!

https://t.co/8FPRSQ8GXz ↪

Sam Hunley (@shunley42; 5/0): @ChelseaParlett …After responding, I have sense been convinced to checkout blogdown…which requires me to learn RMarkdown… so here we go, I guess! ↪

Maëlle Salmon 🐟🔪🍣😱 (@ma_salmon; 4/0): @scolphin I think GitHub pages only work if you pay https://t.co/JZqqZ1kyLb

I’d recommend the blogdown book, with Netlify you don’t need to pay https://t.co/wWtFpMCJ7p ↪

Thomas Lumley (@tslumley; 3/0): Huh. Google Analytics seems to reports hits on blog posts I haven’t posted yet, from when blogdown/RStudio renders them locally during editing. Creepy much? https://t.co/XAANAkJNZ2 ↪

Sam Hunley (@shunley42; 2/0): @LittleMissData @IsabellaGhement I ended up doing just that, actually! I’ve also started the process of learning blogdown so that I can make my own blog - per the suggestion of a bunch of folks in this thread.

https://t.co/aTEMix9VDF ↪

Jason Becker (@jsonbecker; 2/0): @shunley42 You’ve got the skills for a very simple blog from blogdown or plain Hugo or Jekyll or similar using github pages. It’s worth it. ↪

Marco lin (@marcolin91; 2/0): Kindly looking for recommendations on intuitive, flexible, but rich ways for making a personal website.

Ideally involving markdown or something in between coding and WYSIWYG.

Considering Blogdown or Jekyll inspired by @dsquintana @_rdgao, but I gratefully welcome other tips!🙏 ↪

Cédric Scherer (@CedScherer; 2/0): @Christi58451746 Great stuff! Might be worth to mention the geom_sina() / stat_sina() functions from the {ggforce} package as well? https://t.co/vAP1RnoS6c
And any chance to see the source code of your page (is it even blogdown?) or sth else? ↪

Zhi Yang (@zhiiiyang; 2/0): @malco_barrett Can I say that this has nothing to do with the fact that I’ve been showing your website around as an example of blogdown in my talks? 😂 ↪

Alfonso Tobar (@tobar_with_R; 2/0): @malco_barrett I loved the way you organized your site. I’m also using academic and blogdown and mine looks very messy. If you don’t mind I will take some ideas to reorganize my site to have some thing decent to share soon. ↪

Vanessa Stevens, PhD (@Vanessa_S91; 1/0): @EpiEllie I used R Blogdown and Hugo Academic with deployment to Netlify. I’m a big fan of mostly free since… well, assistant professor here 😂
https://t.co/xeXznHXvRD ↪

Roope Kaaronen (@RoopeKaaronen; 1/0): @marcolin91 @dsquintana @_rdgao I did mine with blogdown and am happy with how it turned out. Perpetual cryptic error messages can be a pain, though, but it doesn’t take long to learn to avoid them (basically just using a lot of templates for the code). ↪

Georgy Falster (@palaeoclimateer; 1/0): @SWgeoscience I started with https://t.co/yJJCVlTCZO and then followed my nose! Also I used Hugo/Github rather than Jekyll/Netlify but either of those would probably be easier ↪

Ed (@ed_berry; 1/0): The lesson being. Always make changes to your website on a branch, even your master branch just had the blogdown example site on it ↪

Ed (@ed_berry; 1/0): Not sure how long Netlify has had this feature, but the Continuous Integration checks it runs on pull requests are so cool. Quickly fixed a build failure with zero headaches. Perfect in combo with #blogdown ↪

Robert M Flight (@rmflight; 0/1): Trying to add utterances to an academic hugo themed site, and having issues.

Hlynur Hallgrímsson (@hlynur; 1/1): @jokull Well, RMarkdown in RStudio. More specifically the bookdown package is ideal for what you want, re. references & footnotes.

Equations would still need to be written in LaTeX, but the setup is a two-liner.

Gjalt-Jorn Peters (@matherion; 1/1): What’s the best way to obtain a DOI for an #OpenAccess book you create using #rstats Bookdown?

Upload the PDF and then use @ZENODO_ORG or @PsyArXiv?

Are there other (better, dedicated) means for this? ↪

Nicholas Potter (@potterzot; 1/1): @rothtran @paulgp If you want to be R based, this online book is great: https://t.co/OVv1rlFZq1 ↪

Christophe Dervieux (@chrisderv; 1/0): @HeidiSteiner920 @bgreenwell8 @ameresv @DataForWorld @rstudio Yes the best way is to use reticulate’s python engine

Matthew Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 🪓 (@matthewdlincoln; 1/0): @felwert @paigecmorgan @rstudio TBH though, I only use those for acutal literate code when preparing manuscripts, when all I need to tweak is the graph code. With bookdown, you can really do a whole book in it - totally diff. from a scratch-like research notebook. ↪

superboreen 🇮🇪 (@superboreen; 1/0): @lenkiefer More info here: https://t.co/oOdjF9lVES ↪

Joris Meys (@JorisMeys; 1/0): @matloff @f2harrell @LucyStats You can use raw latex in your Rmarkdown. The book of @xieyihui is quite enlightening.

https://t.co/DC8TGgiJok ↪

Solomon Kurz (@SolomonKurz; 1/0): @ianhussey Yeah, this entire issue gets confusing, to me. The book is a product of the #bookdown code and so on. That code has a doi. But if one wants to just cite the prose and code presented in the book, perhaps the book is the one to cite. ↪

Michael Extra IKEA Piece (@mdekstrand; 1/0): @emma_molls @CopyrightLibn There’s some interesting work happening in this space for programming docs & statistical learning materials, e.g. bookdown (https://t.co/VKliDtAKYA), Rust’s user guide (https://t.co/bj8LZQDm55), and more generally GitBook.

knitr

Michael Chirico (@michael_chirico; 63/17): New feature #8 of {data.table} 1.12.4: fread/fwrite YAML+CSV support

A big drawback of the CSV data format: the file doesn’t have any metadata – it doesn’t tell you anything about itself. What type of data? Whence?

A YAML (familiar to {knitr} users) header can fix this https://t.co/uYgitj7ekE ↪

Kind of niche, but nice within a constrained workflow https://t.co/qvojv0tdsB ↪

baptiste (@baptiste_auguie; 5/1): @minebocek ggplots could carry with them a suggestion for output size, estimated from number of facets, fontsize, aspect ratio,… This hint could be used as better “defaults” in ggsave (it would query the plot to save), and in knitr. egg::set_panel_size takes a small step in this direction ↪

Dale Maschette 🐟🧗‍♂️ (@Dale_Masch; 3/4): Team #rstats! anyone have a good way to display stats::dist objects nicely in Rmarkdown? both knitr and GT let me down. ↪

Swaran Sandhu (@sandhu_hdm; 3/4): @methodenkritik First thing to do: kill word: this was never meant for academic papers. Then dig into RMarkdown + Bibdesk/Zotero + KnitR + PanDoc/Latex with packages like Papaja/Tufte/Tint to the rescue!

Matt (@MJaquiery; 1/0): @Sam_D_Parsons Have you tried asking knitr to produce a non-standalone version? That’ll at least tell you if it’s a knitting problem or an environment problem. ↪

Johannes Gruber (@JohannesBGruber; 1/0): @ryanjgallag @snotskie Also noteworthy: using knitr you can use markdown with R, Python, Julia, C++, SQL and around 50 other languages. ↪

Heather Urry (@HeatherUrry; 1/0): @bergelsonlab @FrederikAust @strengejacke @mcxfrank @tjmahr Ahhhh great point - looking at an old Rmd, I see that I never did figure that bit out; I used webshot and then knitr’s include_graphics and then just referenced the table as a figure (in a manuscript I wasn’t submitting for publication). ↪
