R Consortium grant applications due October 31

Since 2015, the R Consortium has funded projects of benefit to, and proposed by, the R community. Twice a year, the R Consortium Infrastructure Steering Committee reviews grant proposals and makes awards based on merit and funds available. (Those funds come, in turn, from the annual dues paid by R Consortium members.) If you'd like to propose a project of your own, the deadline for submission for the Fall 2018 Call for Proposals is October 31. Not sure what kind of project might be approved? In general, the R Consortium grants fund projects in these categories: Creation of general infrastructure supporting R, like the R-hub project which provides build services for R package developers on every platform supported by R. Development of new R packages, like DBI for R which provides a general interface between R and databases.  Support for working groups to meet, discuss and plan new initiatives in the R community, like Certification for R developers. R community programs, like R Ladies. A good way to get a sense of suitable projects is by browsing the list of previously-funded R Consortium projects, or by taking a look at the regular project reviews in the R Consortium blog, like this update posted earlier today. And if you're not sure how to put a proposal together, Steph Locke has created a boilerplate R Consortium proposal as an R Markdown document you can clone from Github, along with a detailed set of instructions on how to complete it for your project idea. So, what ideas do you have to make the R ecosystem better? A new package? A new working group? A new community initiative? If you need financial support to make that idea a reality, consider applying for an R Consortium project grant. You can find all the details at the link below.

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 ...
