Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring a comprehensive YouTube series on R programming, a guide to exploratory data analysis, and a package for working with academic calendars. Let’s dive in!
Cascadia R Conf 2024 Talk Recordings
Cascadia R Conf took place last August. The videos were recorded and released not too long after. There are some great talks here (I was there so I know!).
A Practical Guide to Exploratory Data Analysis in R
Cosima Meyer provides a thorough and practical guide to conducting exploratory data analysis (EDA) in R with a wide variety of packages. This comprehensive tutorial walks through essential EDA techniques, from basic data summaries to visualization approaches, with clear code examples and explanations. The guide is particularly valuable for researchers and analysts looking to develop a systematic approach to understanding their data.
{acadyr}: Working with Academic Calendars in R
The {acadyr} package, developed by Jacob Scott, offers specialized tools for handling financial and academic calendars in R. It’s the kind of thing that’s tricky to handle on your own. The nice thing about R is that there is always a package to do the thing you need to do!
