My #eCOTS18 virtual poster video on "tame" data principles for making #rstats more accessible in intro stats/data science courses is up! This "taming" shaped @old_man_chester@jchunn206 & my #fivethirtyeight#rstats package targeted at R novices! https://t.co/TftOGgLf1S
How. in. The. Fuh. Did. She. Pull. That. Shiii. OFF!!!!??? It’s like 170 musicians onstage. I mean the stage plotting. The patch chords. How many monitor boards were used??! Bandleading that shit woulda gave me anxiety. Hats off man. Jesus H Christ.
Next week I'll be offering a course at Stanford called "Readings in applied data science" — the complete syllabus is now available at https://t.co/VNbBORRItk. Thanks to everyone on twitter who has helped me find good readings!
@mmmpork what would wolf dog data be? Click stream data that is relatively tame since it's in a relational database but sucks dealing with memory issues?
We introduce the idea of "Tame Data" -- a first step in the education scaffolding to build towards working with data in the wild. We do so by presenting fivethirtyeight: an R package of data and code behind the stories and interactives at https://t.co/w69JkwyAPz.
My favorite: "Traditional data used in the classroom is like a 'teddy bear,' whereas real world data is more like a 'grizzly bear with salmon blood dripping from its mouth.' " -@JennyBryan#JSM2015 h/t @D_Jedamski
@cantabile @rdpeng @visnut @robjhyndman @KerrieMengersen Yes, but in a scaffolded way. No wrangling on completely "wild" datasets, but somewhat "tamed" datasets appropriate for novices. Here are the "taming" principles @old_man_chester@jchunn206 and I followed when building the #fivethirtyeight#rstats package https://t.co/UKpDWlLwUm
Since poking around the @rOpenSci's #runconf17 repository and discovering the package `Skimr`, my day-to-day work life has never been the same. Can't wait to see what #runconf18 has to offer! https://t.co/OdbweyW6WX #rstats#gamechanger
