Yes, ChatGPT can help you write #rstats code, but so can this old Wiki I created with example code used for common data wrangling needs. Who knows, you might find some gems in there.🤷‍♀️

Looking for examples of how to use #rstats tidyverse for common data wrangling purposes?
This wiki has lots of examples for things like naming, filtering, calculating, recoding, reordering, comparing, selecting, separating, and labeling variables.

If you're teaching R, or statistics, and you want your students to get more practice of data wrangling with "messy" data, you can use the {messy} package to turn the clean data you currently use for examples into more realistic looking data!

#RStats #StatsEd
Came across this fun #rstats package from @nrennie.bsky.social that turns clean datasets into messy ones. github.com/nrennie/messy

My periodic reminder that this wiki exists. Originally created to help me remember my own data wrangling tasks, I've shared it publicly in case it is helpful to others as well. It continues to be updated as time allows. #rstats

they say 80% of data science is data wrangling and 97% of work is 2FA
While this is from @theonion.com, it's also true.

Thanks, infosec.

We need more data janitors in the world. 🧹
People whose focus is organizing, documenting, and wrangling data for other people. I would welcome the company. It’s not a glamorous job but it’s really important and it’s very needed.

Re-introduction for new followers!
Hello! 👋
I am currently a freelance research data management consultant. I also co-organize R-Ladies St. Louis. I mostly post about data management and #rstats data wrangling tips. I also recently wrote this book.

By request of my students, I put together a short explainer of some common data wrangling tasks in R. If you're interested, you can find it here: joshmerfeld.github.io/applied-micr...

🐍 Calling all Python data engineers!

I’m looking to chat with Python developers working in data engineering—whether you’re building pipelines, wrangling data, or just figuring things out as you go.

Once upon a time I spent way too much time thinking about #rstats labelled data. 😅

🔐 Happy Data Privacy Day! To celebrate, Notion now supports passkeys 🔑

Forget wrangling passwords. Now you can securely sign in using Face ID, Touch ID, or PIN.

Had so much fun chatting with @lucystats.bsky.social and @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social about gnarly real world data wrangling — from elections to EHRs and beyond!

Show link below! Meanwhile, I’m live-posting of my latest civic data eng sidequests here bsky.app/profile/emil...
🎙️ Today on Regression to the Mean Girls @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social & I chat with the amazing @emilyriederer.bsky.social about a deep dive into election data!

We chat data quality! Headless browser automation! Connections to EHR data! It’s great.

Zack is a very, very, very good follow - he's been posting amazing climate data and visualisations here for a while.

Always remember to get your climate content from good sources: from people both credentialed in wrangling the data, and also who support climate action and solutions
Time for the @bsky.app community to see one of my favorite visualizations of climate change...

Thanks to this bussin new #rstats 📦 by @hadley.nz,
you can now yeet rows and vibe_check columns in your data frames, no cap

hadley.github.io/genzplyr/
dplyr but make it bussin fr fr no cap
`genzplyr` is an alternative syntax for `dplyr` that replaces boring old function names with GenZ slang. Your data wrangling is about to hit different.

I think everyone seriously interested in understanding or thinking about politics should work on some kind of project wrangling with raw administrative data sometimes. It’s a way to literally “see like a state” and it’s very instructive.

👉 Our new paper uses daily mobility data to show that spatial isolation is much more common today among those living in advantaged neighborhoods than the converse.

👩🏻‍💻 Lots of massive data wrangling and careful assumptions about mobility data needed - but check it out here! doi.org/10.1177/0042...
