Summarization
Data scientists are recommending online books for learning data handling and modeling with R. There is a discussion of package development in R, with recommendations for resources such as rOpenSci and the "goodpractice" package. There is also a suggestion for ggplot2 to have in-built ternary plotting capabilities. Additionally, a resource on declarative programming is recommended for optimizing scientific computations. There are discussions about R's use of pointers and escaping semantics, as well as the development of NSE in other programming languages such as JuliaLang.
Topic Modeling
- DataScience and modeling with R
- R package development and best practices
- Outdoor programming and open science with R
- Ternary plotting capabilities in ggplot2
- Declarative programming for scientific computations
Emotional Analysis

1639181089968095233 | Hi #EconTwitter! Want to learn #DataScience and modeling with 𝗥? Check out these awesome online books written by data scientists: one on data handling by @hadleywickham & @StatGarrett, and one on modeling by @topepos & @juliasilge. Don't miss these cool resources! #rstats https://t.co/B5O267bAU2 | 75 |
1640432575436005376 | I’ve been writing #rstats packages quite a bit lately and have really been enjoying it. Outside of @hadleywickham’s R Packages, what other good content is out there with good advice/tips/practices for developing great tools that others can use? | 5 |
1638887451040292864 | Doing outdoors programming in #R. Open air for open science and reproducibility. We are learning a lot in this workshop! Thanks, @hadleywickham for #ROxygen2 package and all inspiration for R packages. @openscience https://t.co/YJczzNBQqO | 4 |
1638533376448536577 | Folks, I’m taking down my thread on pipes in R because I think it conflates different concepts and is ultimately not correct as stated. Will point to @hadleywickham’s chapter on this and may update this later. Also appreciate the feedback from @GaborCsardi and @_lionelhenry. https://t.co/7XUSiiJoOr | 2 |
1641225024517316617 | @salixdubois @elipousson @mrworthington @hadleywickham Thanks for share our guide! @ma_salmon also create this training on develop R packages for our Champions Program: 🚲 Beginner: https://t.co/GbX4yOJ9s9 🚀 Advanced: https://t.co/MtIv3ngv07 #rstats | 1 |
1638427841195831296 | #RStats #TidyTuesday @hadleywickham is there a function for storing objects in the GlobalEnv within pipes e.g. in the images shown below: https://t.co/yXUYMV7cqh | 1 |
1640540657046388736 | @mrworthington @hadleywickham This may not be quite the answer that you’re looking for but I’ve learned a lot about package development while contributing to other mature packages that follow different conventions (e.g. @rOpenSci or tidyverse). This development guide is also very good https://t.co/3yxB1ipRUo | 1 |
1640461391197794307 | @mfranevans @hadleywickham @nickchk Mary! You are an #rstats 🤓?! How did I not know this? | 1 |
1638591877212700672 | @caldera_curator @hadleywickham @matplotlib bad on @matplotlib then. The ternary diagram is super important in so many fields! | 0 |

1638532460374814723 | @hadleywickham Thank you. It’s been a while since I read that chapter 😂 (have been deep in the weeds of the meta programming chapters lately) I’ll take this thread down so as not to confuse people. And I’ll check my understanding and update if it makes sense to do so. https://t.co/7EONRg0yML | 8 |
1640458742645809152 | @mrworthington @hadleywickham I love the {goodpractice} package for helping to enforce... Well, good practices. You don't have to agree with everything they check, but start there and then back off if anything feels wrong for you. | 7 |
1640459027875340289 | @mrworthington @hadleywickham @nickchk has lots of great resources. | 4 |
1638260207024496641 | Hey @hadleywickham wouldn't it be great if ggplot2 had in-built ternary plotting capabilities? I know ggtern exists, but ternary plots are a fundamental plot type. Matplotlib has them (minor teasing here). Also the fewer packages involved the better | 3 |
1640734259794137089 | @elipousson @mrworthington @hadleywickham @rOpenSci Came here to link to this too. | 3 |
