This post is part of a series of technotes about r-universe, a new umbrella project by rOpenSci under which we experiment with various ideas for improving publication and discovery of research software in R. As the project evolves, we will post update...

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is perhaps the most widespread multivariate technique in biology and it is used to summarise the results of experiments in a wide range of disciplines, from agronomy to botany, from entomology to plant pathology. ...

As scientists, we often have data or results in R that we want to export to Microsoft Word for the reports or publications that we’re writing. In this tutorial I show you how to do just that. You can also watch this tutorial as a video if you want ...

Visualizing spatial data in R is oftentimes more challenging than it initially seems. There’s a ton of moving parts, like map center point, zoom, map type, marker size, and so on. And then there’s cartographic design and managing aesthetic appeal along with the functional elements. It goes without ...

The R consortium talked to Mustafa CAVUS of the Eskisehir R Users Group (also on Twitter) about handling group activities during the pandemic. Mustafa shared that online events during the... The post Eskisehir R Users Group in Turkey Talks About Pushing Boundaries During the Lockdown appeared first on R Consortium.

A month ago we released an educational comic in the area of Responsible Machine Learning/Explanatory Model Analysis titled ,,The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Responsible Machine Learning’’. In 52 pages we present methods, tools and good practices for building...

What is MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variance)? MANOVA is an extension to univariate ANOVA that includes at least two dependent variables to analyze differences between multiple groups in the independent variable. In contrast to ANOVA, where we compare individual group means, MANOVA compares the vectors… The post MANOVA(Multivariate Analysis ...

In this post, I will show you how to make publication-ready using a combination of the flextable package and a function I’ve written to customize them according to my default layout. This will minimize the need to edit in MS Word, and copy and paste ...

In this post I am revisiting the concept of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). You might say that there is no need for that, as the Internet is full with posts relating to such a rather old technique. However, I feel that, in those posts, the theo...

Is it possible to reduce the sample size requirements of a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial simply by collecting baseline information? In a trial with randomization at the individual level, it is generally the case that if we are able to measure an outcome for subjects at two time periods, ...
