Rafael Nadal into US Open third round but Roger Federer clash not nailed on

  • Spanish veteran beats Japanese Taro Daniel 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2
  • Nadal could meet Federer in semis but both have shown chinks in armour

As the clock edged towards midnight on day four – literally if not yet metaphorically – the veteran champion, Rafael Nadal, turned struggle into an ultimately satisfactory fightback against an opponent seven years younger and 120 places below him in the world rankings, the admirable Taro Daniel. Yet there was cause for at least minor concern.

Nadal’s four-set win to reach the third round of the US Open, a few hours after Roger Federer’s much patchier effort in five sets against Mikhail Youznhy, left the impression that two of the greatest rivals in the history of the game might never get to play each other at Flushing Meadows.

[This article was first published on Very statisticious on Very statisticious , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers ]. (You can report issue about the content on this page here ) Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't. In ggplot2 , aesthetics and their scale_*() functions change both the plot appearance and the plot legend appearance simultaneously. The override.aes argument in guide_legend() allows the user to change only the legend appearance without affecting the rest of the plot. This is useful for making the legend more readable or for creating certain types of combined legends. In this post I’ll first introduce override.aes with a basic example and then go through three additional plotting scenarios to how other instances where override.aes comes in handy.

Using RStudio and LaTeX

(This article was first published on r – Experimental Behaviour , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers) This post will explain how to integrate RStudio and LaTeX, especially the inclusion of well-formatted tables and nice-looking graphs and figures produced in RStudio and imported to LaTeX. To follow along you will need RStudio, MS Excel and LaTeX. Using tikzdevice to insert R Graphs into LaTeX I am a very visual thinker. If I want to understand a concept I usually and subconsciously try to visualise it. Therefore, more my PhD I tried to transport a lot of empirical insights by means of  visualization . These range from histograms, or violin plots to show distributions, over bargraphs including error bars to compare means, to interaction- or conditional effects of regression models. For quite a while it was very tedious to include such graphs in LaTeX documents. I tried several ways, like saving them as pdf and then including them in LaTeX as pdf, or any other file ...
