🎄 Day 13: Sound alerts in R! 🎄

Ever find yourself waiting for code to finish running, only to forget and miss when it’s done? Try {beepr}!

🔔Add beep() to the end of your code, and it will ping when done

🎺Prefer a celebratory trumpet sound? Add beep("fanfare") instead!

Enjoy!

🎄Day 12: Assessing missing data🎄

Epis know well that missingness can skew analyses, so needs careful review. No fear, {naniar} can help! E.g.:

☑️pct_miss_case(): to check % of rows with NAs
☑️gg_miss_var(): to quickly visualize missingness by column

See more in Ch. 20 of the EpiRHandbook.com!

Day 9: Where do the R version names come from?

Run R.version on your console to see your version number and name. The current one is 4.4.2: “Pile of Leaves”.

Internet chat suggests these names are all inspired by the Peanuts comic strip.

And sure enough…
