In case you missed it: September 2018 roundup

In case you missed them, here are some articles from September of particular interest to R users. R code by Barry Rowlingson to replicate an XKCD comic about curve fitting. The rayshader package creates 3-D relief maps in R with perspective, shadows, and depth of field. The R Developer's Guide to Azure, with links to documentation for Azure cloud services integrating R. A review of many commercial applications of R presented at EARL London 2018. Roundup of AI, Machine Learning and Data Science news from September 2018. A Shiny app using the Custom Vision API to identify pictures (or not) of hotdogs. Two academic articles use survey techniques to estimate casualties from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Yihui Xie describes the benefits of RMarkdown documents in response to criticism of Jupyter Notebooks. A video demonstrates the use of R and Python in Azure HDinsight.  Similarity analyses in R used to identify candidate authors for an anonymous op-ed in the New York Times. A review of the book "SQL Server 2017 Machine Learning Services with R". And some general interest stories (not necessarily related to R): Inspiring radio from a young pilot's eventful first solo flight. Various techniques used by media to project the track of Hurricane Florence. A 26-year timelapse of stars orbiting the galactic center.

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 ...
