What’s New in R: April 14, 2025
Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring a data hub for dengue research, a guide to advanced data skills, and a resource for spatial data in R. Let’s dive in!
Dengue Data Hub
The Dengue Data Hub is a comprehensive resource for researchers focusing on dengue fever. The website, made by Thiyanga S. Talagala, has information on the {denguedatahub} package, which has data from many locations around the world, and provides an interactive data explorer for those who don’t use R. It also has a couple tutorials that show how to scrape and manipulate dengue data.
Applied Data Skills: Processing and Presenting Data
The Applied Data Skills guide by the Emily Nordmann and Lisa DeBruine is a book that accompanies a 10-week course on R. This resource covers a variety of topics, including data wrangling, visualization, and statistical modeling, with a focus on practical applications in R.
R Spatial Data
The R Spatial Data website is a go-to resource for anyone working with spatial data in R. It offers tutorials, examples, and packages to help you effectively handle and analyze spatial datasets. Whether you’re new to spatial analysis or an experienced practitioner, this resource provides the tools and knowledge to enhance your spatial data projects.
