Need to extract days, months, years or more from time data?
Don't compute them all manually with {lubridate}. That's way too tedious.
The {timetk} package has a nice function that does all the heavy lifting for you.

BONUS: Maybe you don't want use all of the stuff that {timetk} computes for you.
Here's a simple function that extracts only the parts you want.

With the right guidelines, using colors becomes super easy.

Anyone can create a stacked bar chart with ggplot.
But that can end up in a colorful & messy plot.

The key is to reduce the amount of colors and leverage the `alpha` aesthetic as well.

Beware though: YARDS is a graduate-level course that I taught for math students w/ a bit of programming experience.

To me this book is like the R bible. It introduced me to the so-called tidyverse and taught me much of what I know.
This one starts out slow and is really beginner-friendly

The #rstats datawizard package (from the @easystats4u ecosystem) has two very useful functions to deal with duplicates.
* data_duplicated: Extract all duplicates including the first, unlike duplicated() or dplyr::distinct()
* data_unique: by default selects the "best" duplicate
* data_duplicated: Extract all duplicates including the first, unlike duplicated() or dplyr::distinct()
* data_unique: by default selects the "best" duplicate
data_duplicated() also contains an additional column reporting the number of missing values for that row, to help in the decision-making when selecting which duplicates to keep.
data_unique() can keep either the first, last, or "best" duplicate. The "best" duplicate (default) will pick the row with the smallest number of missing values. In case of ties, it picks the first one, as it is the one most likely to be valid and authentic, given practice effects

Ever heard of logistic regression? Or Poisson regression? Both are generalized linear models (GLMs).
They're versatile statistical models. And by now, they've probably been reframed as super hot #MachineLearning.

Let's start with logistic regression. Assume you want to classify a penguin as male or female based on its
* weight,
* species and
* bill length
Better yet, let's make this specific. Here's a dataviz for this exact scenario. It is based on the {palmerpenguins} data set.

* species and
* bill length
Better yet, let's make this specific. Here's a dataviz for this exact scenario. It is based on the {palmerpenguins} data set.
As you can see, the male and female penguins form clusters that do not overlap too much.
However, regular linear regression (LR) won't help us to distinguish them. Think about it. Its output is something numerical. Here, we want to find classes.
