David Moreau (@davidwmoreau; 574148): R is quickly becoming the tool of choice for data analysis in science. Lists of excellent resources to learn #rstats have been compiled in multiple places (I will mention here the amazing work of @djnavarro @MattCrump_ and of course @hadleywickham , links below) 16

Rebecca Barter (@rlbarter; 513150): I wrote a two-part #rstats blog post series on the tidyverse. Aimed at people familiar with base R who want to get comfortable using the tidyverse. Part 1: https://t.co/BrDMvPed7u and Part 2: https://t.co/X5UbtSXFMh

A função está neste gist: https://t.co/0RPEajqRA0

Cédric Scherer (@CedScherer; 25981): Thanks to @zevross’ cheatsheet I’ve learned so much about beautiful plotting in #rstats with #ggplot2 - back in 2016 I replicated it and added some more details + tweaks. > Today this tutorial got another update and has found a new home on my homepage 🎉 https://t.co/4ia7xSNwEt https://t.co/1bDb3j8jhn

nick michalak (@nmmichalak; 20): @MlProkosch I like mine that I built with blogdown (https://t.co/84Wqfk7XJw) > It’s free (except my domain from google which costs $10/year) and flexible and makes use of R and GitHub.

Michael Mullarkey (@mcmullarkey; 20): Also if this seems intimidating or you have questions about the process please let me know! > I had 0 experience with blogdown before trying to do this, and there was definitely some trial and error involved https://t.co/zEuHdu9NDt

Peter Sobolewski (@psobolewskiPhD; 11): As an exercise, I wrote up my wrangling in a blog post—my first time using #rmarkdown R chunks with #blogdown and @rstudio. Pretty easy! https://t.co/ArGkiOaQrK Also included the solution suggested by @nacnudus here https://t.co/GiZYuTs4Fm https://t.co/v8SgrYkFan

Ed Hagen (@ed_hagen; 10): @MlProkosch I use blogdown. That said, it’s based on Hugo, which has a LOT of moving parts: more power and ways to customize, but more ways for things to get screwed up. I probably did something wrong at some point so now I have to edit various html and xml files by hand. Kind of a pain.

Patrick Durkee (@durkeepk; 10): @MlProkosch I really like blogdown. If you’re familiar with rmarkdown already, it’s easy to set up and you can host it for free on GitHub! There are a ton of templates to choose from and the Academic template is super clean. I had a googlesite before which was nice but not as satisfying

siegerts (@siegerts; 10): @livingwithdata Ref for layout override: https://t.co/XuKMClCmyb #bookdown #blogdown

Ihaddaden 🐼🍗🍳 (@IhaddadenFodil; 10): I’m getting grazy. I’m creating an academic website with blogdown. When I use serve_site(), everything is perfect. When check my Github repo, also perfect but when I deploy in Netlify I find a specific part of my website missing 😤😩 any help @dsquintana ???

José Pereira (@jafcpereira; 10): @TaylorMcLinden @epi_twit And I almost forgot to give proper advice: https://t.co/ZVr5iAkTZB if you need any help setting it :)

José Pereira (@jafcpereira; 10): @TaylorMcLinden @epi_twit You can try using blogdown and hosting in Netlify to create your own blog. Much easier than using Wordpress :)

Bill Wilkerson (@bill_wilkerson; 10): @sbmitche @bitmeehan @ScottJLaCombe @CourtneyJuelich If you are an R user you might consider using Blogdown, Hugo, and Netlify to set up and manage a site. Free. And excellent tutorial here. There is an excellent theme, academic, tha is perfect for folks who are on the job market. https://t.co/K0QSm35dy6

Paul Oldham #FBPE (@junglepaul; 51): @IamMRWani @162880 @thomas_mock @veerlevanson For journal articles I suggest the rticles package https://t.co/08SYeDQRJM For long pieces bookdown. Use bibtex format for bibliographies. Keep reading the rmarkdown book. Follow the very excellent @apreshill & @xieyihui for basic & ninja guides.

tomo-makes@『図解速習DEEP LEARNING』 (@tomo_makes; 22): おお。Rのパッケージ、Bookdownでビルドされてる。

Gjalt-Jorn Peters (@matherion; 21): @CaAl I was thinking the exact same thing. > We can simply whip up a Bookdown git repo and make a collaborative effort out of it. I guess the macrostructure of such a document would always look roughly the same, no? So then people can fill bits when they have time. > @CaAl, what say you?

David Reinstein (@GivingTools; 20): @ReplicableS @UCBITSS @g_theonion @jeremyfreese @tedmiguel @ucpress It seems to me that an online textbook and resource (#bookdown @xieyihui etc) would be ideal for this, as it could be continually updated, and include links and interactive resources. Do you know of any in progress?

Pachá 帕夏 (@pachamaltese; 20): @apreshill @rstudio huge!! bookdown is really nice and I cannot find a python equivalent

John T. Johnson 🧠 Luctor et Emergo (@John4tl; 12): Is @rstudio the best editor to use for #bookdown and #rmarkdown? Does an “articledown” framework exist (in the spirit of bookdown, thesisdown, etc.)? #rstats #ecrchat #phdchat

Gina G. 🖖🏾 (@TheGinaGi; 11): But I mean it for next semester. I taught #Bookdown for #RStats over the summer, and realized how easy the presentations are. So I’m sticking to my commitment next semester. And I’m playing with #RStats for the next glorious 3 weeks.

Gjalt-Jorn Peters (@matherion; 10): @namnatulco @CaAl Agree. The guidelines themselves are facts - and facts cannot be owned. > So I was thinking about basically copying the guidelines but not the phrasing. > Once we have a Bookdown that’s a zou of APA7, we could discuss (with a group of journal editors) how to relax some guidelines.

Bea. (@Chucheria; 10): @artolamola @msanjuan Sobre que a mí no me gustan los notebooks o sobre rmarkdown? https://t.co/YeawsaOJyS https://t.co/GPaeVOKrIb

Matt Wittbrodt (@mattwittbrodt; 10): @John4tl @rstudio I saw Hadley speak at Emory- I believe his examples of reproducible code - including bookdown- were all in R Studio. Granted he works for them, but I tend to follow his lead.

Francesco Grossetti (@contefranz; 10): @danijarh @gaiarubera What I personally miss the most when switching from R to Python is a consistent framework to draft professional docs. Jupyter is just ok. Maybe have a look at bookdown which is a great extension (by far) of standard rmarkdown

Francesco Grossetti (@contefranz; 10): @hanhngh @gaiarubera @danijarh That’s exactly what I am saying. The combo RStudio + rmarkdown/bookdown wins hands down. Period. You can even write books with it which is what @gaiarubera and myself did. Fun fact: the book is a beginner intro to Python

at it again (@TheRealEveret; 10): @causalinf @yalepress @econeditor @LindsayEdgecom1 Remind me: Are you rewriting it with bookdown or something?

Philip Khor (@philip_khor; 10): @rv1n0d85 I recall seeing a few thesis out there with bookdown too. Pretty sweet deal cos you get HTML and LaTeX versions of the book for free. > Thanks! Let’s find a day to do that when I get back :)

David Reinstein (@GivingTools; 0/1): #bookdown #css … best tip ever, thanks Kent Johnson of the #R4dslackers! https://t.co/dJQ4FM83mX

knitr

Hadley Wickham (@hadleywickham; 101): @danijarh @dan_s_becker FWIW knitr also supports a mode where you have a regular R file with special comments: https://t.co/eFs8EFXh7D

Matt Crump (@MattCrump_; 31): 3. Check out this Stroop demo for some example .rmd code using the new functions. This uses a combination of R and JS code chunks, and knitr to create the html. The experiment is hosted on github pages (see link from top tweet to run: Stroop2) > https://t.co/Ak40jmp8zj

श्रवण वसिष्ठ / Shravan Vasishth (@shravanvasishth; 30): @DrClintonJohns @JeffRouder @JPdeRuiter @dsquareddigest I think it has partly to do with my incompetence and old-age grumpiness. I do use Rmd for public release of data and code. I just write my papers using Rnw (knitr) in pure latex. I find it much easier.

Evgeny Pogrebnyak (@PogrebnyakE; 21): Here is another take on workflows with @ProjectJupyter, Handout (@danijarh) and knitr (@xieyihui). Interactivity vs report generation user goal make biggest distinction, imo. > If you have a usecase that breaks a chart, please write back in comments. https://t.co/e9gKj41lgv https://t.co/XUPGwbxTJI

Heidi Seibold (@HeidiBaya; 20): @ClLazarides @rstatstweet How about using RMarkdown (https://t.co/Q3s6cijkDD) or knitr (in combination with a cool poster theme https://t.co/JrgIxS6fd9)? > QR or link to PDF sounds reasonable to me ;)

Dustin Tran (@dustinvtran; 20): @danijarh @markvanderwilk knitr’s control output settings may be a helpful reference (https://t.co/7R7WQTzqKw), and knitr more generally. It’s highly related and is popular among statisticians. I used it often in grad school for problem sets/finals.

Diego Javier Zea (@diegojavierzea; 20): @ErdelyArtur @Rbloggers Why not the three of them? You can use Julia and Weave.jl instead of R and knitr, together with RCall.jl and PyCall.jl. There is even a PyPlot.jl package! https://t.co/ysV9E0vbbl

Ruben Van Paemel (@RubenVanPaemel; 10): @IAmSamFin With the spin package you can generate HTML reports like with knitr. All lines starting with #’ are converted to markdown, and you can use this in a standard .R script (.Rmd is not needed) > https://t.co/oodRuSJG74

Aliakbar Akbaritabar (Ali) (@Akbaritabar; 10): @i_steves Yes, it does. Result of any query (and even plots and tables etc) get cached and as long as the cache is not invalidated it doesn’t run that query again (e.g, even an space added invalidates the chunk).
