What’s New in R: October 21, 2024
Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring the second edition of a popular geocomputation book, an updated version of a statistical inference textbook, and a comprehensive guide on splitting data into equal-sized groups in R. Let’s dive in!
Second edition of Geocomputation with R is complete
When people ask where to go to learn about geospatial analysis in R, I always point them to the book Geocomputation with R. So I was excited to see that the second edition of the book is (almost) complete. This blog post summarizes what’s new, how the book was made, and more. And, if you just want to read the book, it’s available online to read for free.
ModernDive v2
Speaking of second editions, the book Statistical Inference via Data Science: A ModernDive into R and the Tidyverse (aka “ModernDive”) is now available. It’s a great intro to R itself (I use the metaphor about R as a car engine and RStudio as a dashboard when teaching R myself) as well as statistical inference.
