R & other artwork!

R-related artwork:

beepr let's you pick and play a notification sound when your code/analysis is done running:

broom makes messy model / statistical outputs into tidy tibbles:

dplyr::mutate creates or transforms a variable (column) while keeping the existing ones:

dplyr: get your data wrangling on.

dplyr::across() makes it easy to apply a function (or functions) across selected columns!

dplyr::relocate: a friendly function for moving columns around (in dplyr 1.0.0)!

gganimate: get a little action in(to your graphs)...

ggplot2 for visual data exploration:

...and use ggplot2 for creating beautiful data masterpieces!

here for more peaceful (file) paths:

The janitor package contains multiple user-friendly functions for cleaning messy data, including clean_names() to update all of your column names to a nice case of your choosing (snake_case! lowerCamel! UpperCamel! SCREAMING_SNAKE! ...and more) all at once:

Use lubridate to work more easily & intuitively with dates & times:

Like lubridate_ymd() to easily parse year/month/day data!

Use readr::parse_number() to just keep the numeric parts, & remove characters:

Part of tidymodels, the parsnip package creates standardized syntax across model engines:

Easily arrange and combine ggplots with patchwork!

You can do it!

Use @tylermorganwall's rayshader package to create amazing 3D maps and graphs!

Use recipes to streamline data preprocessing for stats & machine learning models:

Create reproducible examples to get (and give) help more easily with reprex!

Get your code, text & outputs in the same (reproducible) place with Rmarkdown:

Be an Rmarkdown knitting wizard.

Use the sf package for simpler spatial data analysis with geometries that stick to attributes:

Soon to be pivot_wider() & pivot_longer()! tidyr::spread() & gather():

stringr::str_squish() removes whitespace before and after strings, and reduced repeated interior whitespace to a single space (see also: str_trim()):

Blast off into the...

For #rstats and friends!

Thanks, #rstats community!

If you bring group_by() to the party, don't forget dplyr::ungroup()

Make your own sample cartoons!

I'm building this library of samples, faces & arms so that statistics teachers can create their own fun, charismatic samples to include in stats lectures, slides & materials. The files below contain different graphs (dotplots, histograms, more to come) with matching arms doing different things, along with a file of faces you can add on top to give them some personality. I recommend playing with transparency, brightness, cropping & size in whatever program you use to piece these together! Working on making these PNGs & SVGs.

Here are some examples of DIY creations:

The pieces so that you can make your own:

Faces

Choose the expression to add to your sample:

Histogram sticker sheets

Dot plot sticker sheets

Extras & speech bubbles

More coming, feel free to send suggestions.

Other stats artwork:

For the love of pie charts:

k-means clustering thread:

Hierarchical clustering (single linkage) thread:

Creatures and their distance matrix:

Find the clusters with the minimum distance between elements in them & merge:

Repeat!

Ta-da!

Multiple linear regression dragons thread:

Meet your MLR teaching assistants:

Interpret coefficients for categorical predictor variables:

And for continuous predictor variables:

Or make predictions using the regression model:

Understand residuals:

And check for residuals normality:

in_case_you_forget:

Release the disco data:

Type I errors:

Type II errors:

Normality?

Continuous & discrete data:

Nominal, ordinal & binary data:

Openscapes artwork (@jules32 collaborations)

The expanded version of the classic Grolemund & Wickham R4DS workflow, including environmental data & sci comm bookends! Envisioned by Dr. Julia Lowndes for her useR!2019 keynote.

Really random stuff

Thank you

Thank you to all the R developers, maintainers, contributors, teachers and communicators who actually MAKE all of these amazing packages and documentation that have inspired this #rstats artwork. When I create an illustration with your package it's with immense gratitude for how your hard work has allowed me to do mine (using and teaching #rstats) more efficiently, more clearly, more reproducibly....just plain better. THANK YOU!
