got up at 5:30am to bash out a 40 mile ride to the Pennines (and stop for coffee half way) all before work. 10/10 idea #biketooter

how the hell is this allowed? #rstats

gutted to be leaving the young statisticians section of #royalstatsoc but it's really important that this job is passed around

it's been a blast - good luck friends

Relatively simple #TidyTuesday effort with frustratingly complex code to make it all work - how are the names of famous pairs trending over time within US election candidates?

Happy Halloween! 🤡🎃🧟‍♂️

Gave my {creepr} package a hexsticker this year as a trick-or-treat!

had a quick go with {ggsankey} for #TidyTuesday - rounded edges on the first and final group would be so much nicer

Managed to do a #TidyTuesday for the first time in a few weeks. Sentiment of tweets is mostly negative!

A paper of mine was accepted last year and now the journal has moved publisher and hence style files. I do not want to have to fix this mess 😭

Big stonks for #TidyTuesday unless you're IBM! Had fun using corrr::networkwork_plot() for a really fast & effective way to identify correlations ... then spent ages colour coding the subtitle and adding the side plots

Minimalist #TidyTuesday for the Alone data (both graphically and programmatically - only libraries used were {tidyverse} and {showtext}!)

A lot of data for this week's #TidyTuesday about bird sightings in 2020-2021 in the USA. Recycled some code from last week to produce a bar chart to show which habitats have the most birds

For #TidyTuesday bring your own data week I constructed a quick summary of my thesis - the 10 most commonly used words. "Approach" is the only non-technical word in this list, perhaps I should have looked for synonyms

Code: https://github.com/jcken95/tidytuesday/tree/main/2023/2023-01-03

The code includes the script I used to generate the data, but I haven't included my thesis because I don't think my examiner will have it yet! I have however included a permuted version of my thesis, so you should be able to recreate the viz

I submitted my #phd thesis this morning and then went on a very long bike ride

did some actual statistics (!!) with #TidyTuesday this week. It doesn't seem to be very well known, but Pukelsheim's 3 sigma rule allows you to perform robust inferences with very few assumptions. Here it detects the impact of covid lockdowns and whatever else happened in 2021. The model is an AR(1) model which uses data up to time t to predict what happens at t+1. No predictions made for first 12 time points

so cold here right now that the _inside_ of the car is frozen

Wasn't really sure what to do with the elevator data for #TidyTuesday. I had recently come across {vapoRwave} for a e s t h e t i c themes and pallets, I thought I'd try plotting a retro video game style map

as it stands, my career is safe from AI and an AI can never specify your priors 🤷 #gpt #stan

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 ...

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

Since this week's #TidyTuesday is about accessibility on the web, I decided to investigate options for making graphics more accessible
