#rstats New blog post: Refactoring code with `flir`

`flir` is a package I created last year to detect and automatically fix bad practices in R code (similar to `lintr` but faster and with automatic fixes).

In this blog post, I explain how it can do more than that, for instance to replace superseded and deprecated functions in large projects.

Lets be honest, we spend too much time cleaning data. {janitor} can help with that: https://sfirke.github.io/janitor/ #rstats #datasciece https://a2mi.social/@samfirke

If you set limits for a scale (e.g. x-axis) in ggplot, how would you like data outside of that range be handled? There is the oob parameter for that and a set of functions to use with it: https://scales.r-lib.org/reference/oob.html #rstats #ggplot #dataviz

R learning for applied statistics by Chenxin Li: https://github.com/cxli233/Online_R_learning A self paced course structured in R markdown documents, that starts from the very basic. #rstats #course #learning

{purrr} has some lesser known functions that make handling of failing function calls easier: safely, quietly, possibly: https://purrr.tidyverse.org/reference/safely.html #rstats #tidyverse

The {conflicted} package makes sure that namespace conflicts are solved explicitly and prevents unpleasent surprises: https://conflicted.r-lib.org/ #rstats #failearly

I have a habbit of making (too) many (small) packages for functionality that might be reused in different context. {box} might be an alternative by making scripts into modlues that can be loaded: https://klmr.me/box/ #RStats #packages #waysofworking

Linear programs help to find optimal solutions based on a set of constrains. I used {ompr} before, but the new package {tidyLP} looks promising and integrates with the tidyverse. #rstats #linearprograms #optimization https://github.com/colin-fraser/tidyLP https://dirkschumacher.github.io/ompr/
