Manhattan DA Denies 'Cover-Up' For Billionaire Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein

Manhattan DA Denies 'Cover-Up' For Billionaire Sex Offender Jeffrey Epstein A little over a decade ago, Brooklyn-born billionaire Jeffrey Epstein got caught running what the Miami Herald describes as a "sexual pyramid scheme" on the backs of underage girls, allegedly committing multiple acts of pedophilia and engaging in child sex trafficking. The evidence against him appeared damning, but until now it's been kept largely out of the public eye, thanks to the efforts and missteps of prosecutors at the federal and state level—including President Donald Trump's current Labor Secretary and a prosecutor in Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance's office.

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 ...

Controlling legend appearance in ggplot2 with override.aes

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.
