Shortly after this, Dirk Eddelbuettel3 posted an equivalent “Tinyverse Edition”4 using the data.table5 package. It was much more than I had expected as I thought that I was starting a one person project writing guides for a niche audience, and for my training courses and workshops. https://ilustat.com/post/boas-apresentacoes-aumentam-a-sua-visibilidade/ Wed, 31 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://ilustat.com/post/boas-apresentacoes-aumentam-a-sua-visibilidade/ Saghir Bashir (traduzido por Ana Macedo) Sempre que sou convidado a fazer uma apresentação, os meus nervos tomam imediatamente as rédeas até a apresentação propriamente dita terminar. Atingem o seu máximo no momento em que dizem o meu nome e durante os primeiros minutos da apresentação. O quê? Eu? Agora? Aquela gente toda A OLHAR PARA MIM! OK, não tropeces, não falhes a introdução, enganei-me, mas ainda aqui estou… As pessoas normalmente dizem-me que “não pareces nervoso”. https://ilustat.com/post/great-presentations-raise-your-profile/ Thu, 11 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://ilustat.com/post/great-presentations-raise-your-profile/ Saghir Bashir Whenever I’m invited to present, my nerves immediately take over until the actual presentation is finished. They peak when I’m being introduced and during the first few minutes of the presentation. What? Me? Now? All those people LOOKING AT ME! OK, don’t trip, don’t mess up the opening, I got it wrong, but I’m still going, … People often tell me that “you don’t look nervous”. Yes, that’s true, as I try very hard to hide it, but people who know me can spot my ticks. https://ilustat.com/post/finding-datasets-in-r/ Wed, 07 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://ilustat.com/post/finding-datasets-in-r/ Saghir Bashir Do you need to find an R dataset that you can use for teaching, presentations or reprex? WhatData is there to help you. You can try it out here. A Dataset of R Datasets We start by creating a dataset of the available datasets in R on your system (i.e. from both base R and from the packages installed on your system). https://ilustat.com/post/what-is-a-bleet/ Tue, 03 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000 https://ilustat.com/post/what-is-a-bleet/ Blog, tweet or bleet? You are busy and we like to get to the point. As a compromise we will publish bleets which are “not as long as a blog and not as short as a tweet”. Bleets can be up to 237 words. FAQs Why 237 words? No particular reason. What are the rules for counting the words? Use which ever word count tool you have. https://ilustat.com/shared/what_data_r/ Fri, 29 Sep 2017 13:57:36 +0100 https://ilustat.com/shared/what_data_r/ Find Datasets in Base R and R Packages Do you need to find an R dataset that you can use for teaching, presentations or reproducible examples (reprex)?
