This post on R Views is about… Python! Surprising, I know. Python has several well-written packages for statistics and data science, but CRAN, R’s central repository, contains thousands of packages implementing sophisticated statistical algorithms that have been field-tested over many years. Thanks to the rpy2 package, Pythonistas can take ...

Even when filtering by the relatively sober #rstats hashtag, I find twitter to be the stream of consciousness of an undisciplined collective mind: disjoint and ephemeral. Nevertheless, on any given day some useful R resources float by, and it is frequently the case that interesting items disappear downstream before I ...
