Graphic announcement with a blue background reading “Big News from RoSE.” The RoSE and FORRT logos appear side by side with an “×” between them. Text states: “We’re launching a Big Team Science review asking: What is the current state of evidence on the use of statistical packages in teaching and learning?” A magnifying glass graphic emphasises the research theme.

📣 Big news from RoSE! We’re launching a new RoSE × FORRT collaborative research project 🎉

I thought that a retrospective design might apply since genotype (the exposure) is already present, and disease status is then assessed. But the key issue is that both genotype and CIMT are measured at the same point in time, with no follow-up period.

I initially thought this was retrospective (answered before reading the explanation!😊). Since genotype and CIMT are measured at the same time with no follow-up, this is cross-sectional. Genotype precedes disease biologically, not temporally here. An RCT isn’t applicable as genes can’t be randomised.

#RStats

There's a few rules I've adopted for data analysis this year that have helped me out a lot.

If you have R students learning to clean data, the truffle package by Ian Hussey (
@ianhussey.mmmdata.io
) might be for you. Plus the icon is a cute pig 🐷

Maybe you're interested in trying {renv} for creating reproducible environments for your R projects. Maybe you've tried and it hasn't stuck. Shannon's talk digs deep into how it works so it's easier to implement.

#RStats

I’ve been working with R professionally for 7 years, having first learned it 11 years ago in undergrad. I continue to discover new things (and rediscover old ones!) and am constantly inspired by the amazing R community. ✨😊

d11 # A tibble: 4 x 2 id item1 <dbl> <chr> 1 1 "cap" 2 2 "ap" 3 3 "" 4 4 "p" In this data, item1 represents student responses of a word. Each letter represents a correct phonetic sound. We want to count the number of correct sounds for each student. We first create a new variable item1_score using dplyr::mutate(). We can then use stringr::str_length() to count the length of our strings. d11 %>% dplyr::mutate(item1_score = stringr::str_length(item1)) # A tibble: 4 x 3 id item1 item1_score <dbl> <chr> <int> 1 1 "cap" 3 2 2 "ap" 2 3 3 "" 0 4 4 "p" 1

d12 # A tibble: 4 x 2 id item1 <dbl> <chr> 1 1 "c,a,p" 2 2 "a,p" 3 3 "" 4 4 "p" Same as above, item1 represents student responses of a word. Each letter represents a correct phonetic sound. We want to count the number of correct sounds for each student. However, this time, our data has commas between letters so we cannot use stringr::str_length() because it will count the commas, giving us incorrect scores. Instead we use stringr::str_count() and add the argument pattern = and we add the regex pattern “[a-z]” which says to count any lowercase letter a to z. d12 %>% dplyr::mutate(item1_score = stringr::str_count(item1, pattern = "[a-z]")) # A tibble: 4 x 3 id item1 item1_score <dbl> <chr> <int> 1 1 "c,a,p" 3 2 2 "a,p" 2 3 3 "" 0 4 4 "p" 1

Ever need to count the number of characters in a variable (sometimes based on a pattern)? The #rstats {stringr} package is great for that. ✨

🧵Hi #RLadies and R friends! Have you built a package?

I started writing my own functions when I noticed I was copying the same code over and over. Eventually, I wrapped some of them into a package — just for myself.

Now I’m learning how to turn my code into tools others can actually use. 📦💜

Building my first one! ☺️

Today I’ll be sharing some of my favorite Quarto learning resources 💻✨

Most of what I know, I learned thanks to the amazing work of others. So this thread is a small tribute to open educational content and the people behind it.

Let’s go! 👇
