It has undoubtedly been a busy year in the R -and, much broader, the data science- community. As the year is drawing to a close, I’d would like to take the time to look back at the moments that were most important, fun, relevant, … to the R community.

In today’s blog post, I will do this by chronologically listing 17 of the retweeted and favorited tweets of 2017 with the hashtag #rstats:

My #rstats learning path:

1. Install R
2. Install RStudio
3. Google "How do I [THING I WANT TO DO] in R?"

Repeat step 3 ad infinitum.
