What’s New in R: July 28, 2025
Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring an analysis of ggplot2’s popularity, a workshop on handling uncertainty in your data, and a quick video on using the {datapasta} package. Let’s dive in!
The ggplot2 Package Popularity Index
One of the great things about ggplot is that there are so many extension packages that give you new ways to visualize your data. In a fascinating analysis by Erik Gahner Larsen, the popularity of the ggplot extension packages is explored through various metrics.
R Workshop: Handling Uncertainty in your Data
The materials for this workshop, put together by Mario Reutter and Juli Nagel, are freely available online. Take a look at the slides to learn how to consider uncertainty while analyze and visualizing data in R.
CascadiaRConf Highlights
