It’s wonderful to have friends join the fedi. May I recommend you follow my friend and ex-colleague @seaCatKim, if you’re into #openScience and #rstats and #marineBiology and #conservation and all things good about life but also just because she’s an excellent human.

Welcome here Catherine! 🤗❤️

My #RStats + #OpenStreetMap package was renamed to osmxml so it is less about getting data and more about dealing with the #OSM XML format. I'm hoping to add features to it in the next few months, but testing and suggestions are welcome!

Simple bubble #aRt made on the bus with #RStats and #ggplot2

#sf's new version 1.0-8 has some cool new features, like a method for tidyr::pivot_wider() and autodetect of GPX files with st_read():

New website!

Now I need to add things I forgot to mention, write some posts, and fix up a few more details. Work in progress!
(built with #Hugo, the Apéro theme, #blogdown and other #RStats friends)

I wasted so much time on trying to figure out using the #OCLC #API for a Shiny app because of poor documentation in both #httr and the API.
I mean, I did learn stuff in the process, and I knew close to nothing before starting, and I was over the moon once I got an access token back, but no one needs to spend so much time just trying things are random until it works.
Documentation is so important! Document everything!!
Looking forward to testing #httr2, it should really improve things. #RStats

osmexport is my first go at a proper #RStats package.

This small package is useful for importing, and visualising #OSM XML data using #sf. I’m likely to expand it and rename it “osmxml”.

This morning I was teaching online about data visualisation with #RStats and started with sharing the link to the training materials, as I always do. One of the student tells me “it’s not the right link”.
I shared this:

Hell is a place where you are forced to constantly convert tables from wide to long format and vice versa, with only reshape() available.
#RStats @rstats

@rstats is.na() is TRUE for both NA and NaN but is.nan() is only TRUE for NaN.
#RStats

@rstats one could use assign() instead of the usual <- operator
#RStats

@rstats sink("a_text_file.txt") will redirect all outputs to that file until sink() is run again

I'm finally reading the official intro to R, after using it for 10 years and teaching about it for 4, so this might become a thread of "interesting things I learned".

Hey I recently prepared and presented this tutorial on acquiring #OSM data and preparing it for spatial network analysis in #RStats. Hopefully it's useful to some! Feedback welcome 🙂

After the massive weather event around here, I had a look at the last 23 years of daily rainfall data for the Brisbane weather station. Looks like the rainfall for yesterday and the day before were the two records for the whole of the period.

Great new features in #tidyr 1.2.0

#RStats @rstats

Just learned about two #RStats packages that can help with #accessibility:

- potools: easy internationalisation of R packages (https://michaelchirico.github.io/potools/index.html)
- preferably: accessible template for pkgdown (https://preferably.amirmasoudabdol.name/)

Hey this is the #RStats + #OpenStreetMap workshop I presented at State of the Map 2021, and presented again just today at #ResBazQld. Feel free to reuse, it's #CC BY! 🗺️

@rstats #OSM

Excited about #EcoCommons being launched soon(-ish, next year), integrating and building upon a lot of tools to empower ecologists. I've been lucky enough to help out at a couple of #RStats training sessions offered in the lead up to the launch.

Thanks Elisa Bayraktarov for presenting it! #ResBazQld @rstats
