Who needs Spotify Wrapped when you can have #RStats Wrapped instead? 🎶🎶🎶
If you want to make your own #RStats Wrapped, I've written a blog post (including code) about how I made mine based on my #TidyTuesday scripts!

A fun thing to do in #Rstats
When writing your script ...
1️⃣ Hit ctrl + shift + r to insert a section
2️⃣ Add an emoji to the label
3️⃣ Toggle the 'document outline'
I find the addition of emojis useful for quick navigation.

#TidyTuesday week 48: FIFA World Cup ⚽️
Mean difference in scores for home and away games for the 20 countries with the most games played since 1990. Belgium, Sweden, and Argentina tend to win more games at home suggesting a possible home-ground advantage
@nrennie ah that sounds like what I needed! thanks 😁

Still a bit of a work-in-progress, but my 2022 #TidyTuesday Wrapped is here!

We’ve had a fantastic early response to our call for contributions (thank you!). But one question we’ve been asked frequently is: “What particular topics are you most interested in?” Here, we outline four themes that contributors might want to think about: https://realworlddatascience.net/news-and-views/editors-blog/posts/2022-12-01-themes/2022-12-01-themes.html #datascience #statistics #machinelearning #ai
Frustrating one for #TidyTuesday - struggled to get good spacing for the flags without mucking up the aspect ratio on the image of Bobby Moore.
Preserving aspect ratios for {ggimage} seems basically impossible. Trying to get good horizontal spacing warps the aspect ratio. Maybe with more time I could get it to work?
And although we beat (West) Germany in 1966, they've definitely punished us for it over the years ...

@wav3ydave my commute is approx 1 hr which is where the worst if thr behaviour tends to happen. so I'd say 2hrs? can recharge at work
also, what should I be looking for in a camera? ride in basically all weather and light conditions, apart from ice
#biketooter - any recommendations for an actioncam? Ever since _that_ bbc documentary aired about a month ago, close passes/aggressive behaviour towards me as a cyclist seems to be much more frequent and increasing risky
@christianp it do be like that
Trying to finalise my thesis but my external keeps publishing _more_ papers 😫

Wrapped up my weekend by doing #TidyTuesday.
The data was on UK museum locations 🏛️ This meant facing my #RStats nemesis - maps!
I mapped the museums of Lancaster and found some I never knew about in the process. Can you spot the maratime museum?

I know only a little about the eigendecomposition of symmetric matrices
So while I’m not always *positive* about my knowledge, I am *semi* definite

#TidyTuesday week 47: UK Museums 💂
Position and count of museums that have opened since 1950 by primary subject
the pencil museum isn't the only indoor attraction in the lake district! This week's #TidyTuesday looks at museums in the UK, decided I'd look close to home for this one. Had a bit of fun learning how to use {osmdata} drawing maps
