Cuomo Is Eating De Blasio's Lunch On Congestion Pricing

Cuomo Is Eating De Blasio's Lunch On Congestion Pricing Governor Andrew Cuomo made congestion pricing a centerpiece of his budget presentation earlier this month, pledging to raise $15 billion for transit improvements by tolling vehicles crossing bridges into Manhattan or traveling below 60th Street in Manhattan. According to a recent poll, 52 percent of New York State residents support congestion pricing, and that number climbs even higher for those living in the city. Missing from the conversation: Mayor Bill de Blasio, who at first said he did not "believe" in congestion pricing, and now says that the idea to toll cars coming into his city has nothing to do with him.

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

[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.
