I’ve just shared a short webcast on data reshaping in R using the cdata package. (link) We also have two really nifty articles on the theory and methods: Fluid data reshaping with cdata Coordinatized Data: A Fluid Data Specification Please give it a try! This is the material I recently […]
I have some big news about our R package cdata. We have greatly improved the calling interface and Nina Zumel has just written the definitive introduction to cdata. cdata is our general coordinatized data tool. It is what powers the deep learning performance graph (here demonstrated with R and Keras) […]
Win-Vector LLC is proud to introduce two important new tool families (with documentation) in the 0.5.0 version of seplyr (also now available on CRAN): partition_mutate_se() / partition_mutate_qt(): these are query planners/optimizers that work over dplyr::mutate() assignments.

Just wrote a new R article: “Data Wrangling at Scale” (using Dirk Eddelbuettel’s tint template). Please check it out.
We have just released a major update of the cdata R package to CRAN. If you work with R and data, now is the time to check out the cdata package.
Nina Zumel and I recently wrote a few article and series on best practices in testing models and data: Random Test/Train Split is not Always Enough How Do You Know if Your Data Has Signal? How do you know if your model is going to work? A Simpler Explanation of […]
