The twelve world leaders in their thirties—charted

Jacinda Ardern, 37, is New Zealand's youngest female prime minister.

With her election to the helm of New Zealand’s government today (Oct. 19), Jacinda Ardern became the world’s twelfth 30-something head of state or government.

None quite match William Pitt the Younger, who became British prime minister at the age of 24 in 1783. They’ll also be lucky to better Pitt’s more-than-two-decade stint in power. The longest serving of the current crop is North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, who succeeded his father nearly six years ago at the age of—probably—33. (North Korean authorities say he’s 35, but that’s thought to have been artificially lined up to be 40 years after his father and 70 after his grandfather.)

The European microstate of San Marino has an impressive pedigree of youthful leaders. The country is headed by two Captains Regent, who serve six-month terms before being rotated out. Earlier this year, one of those was 28-year-old Vanessa D’Ambrosio, who was replaced in October with a pair of comparatively wizened men in their 30s.

Controlling legend appearance in ggplot2 with override.aes

[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. Table of Contents R packages Introducing override.aes Adding a guides() layer Using the guide argument in scale_*() Changing multiple aesthetic par...

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 ...
