Hi all, this is just an announcement.I am moving Rcrastinate to a blogdown-based solution and am therefore leaving blogger.com. If you're interested in the new setup and how you could do the same yourself, please check out the all shiny and new Rcrasti...

Alright, seems like this is developing into a blog where I am increasingly investigating my own music listening habits.Recently, I've come across the analyzelastfm package by Sebastian Wolf. I used it to download my complete listening history from Last.FM for the last ten years. That's a complete dataset ...

Giddy up, giddy it up Wanna move into a fool's gold room With my pulse on the animal jewels Of the rules that you choose to use to get loose With the luminous moves Bored of these limits, let me get, let me get it like Wow! When it comes ...

Click here for the interactive visualization If you're interested in the visualisation of networks or graphs, you might've heard of the great package "visNetwork". I think it's a really great package and I love playing around with it. The scenarios of graph-based analyses are many and diverse: whenever you can ...

There are a few reasons why you might want to send tweets from R. You might want to write a Twitter bot or - as in my case - you want to send yourself a tweet when a very long computation finishes.So, here I will run you through all ...

Here is some updated R code from my previous post. It doesn't throw any warnings when importing tracks with and without heart rate information. Also, it is easier to distinguish types of tracks now (e.g., when you want to plot runs and rides separately...

[EDIT: The function now also inludes the possibility to plot the IQR around the median. I shifted the median slightly downwards to prevent the SD and the IQR from overlapping.]I wrote a function to visualise results of Likert scale items. Please find the function below the post. Here is ...

Today I want to write about a solution to a quite specific problem. Suppose, you want to label cells in your 'vcd' package mosaic plots in a custom way. For example, we might want to use cell labels which indicate "too much" or "too few" cases (given your expected values). ...
