Firearms Sourced and Recovered in the United States and Territories 2010-2016

 Posted on November 7, 2017
I want to try and probe a question that was raised since Las Vegas and now revived due to the tragedy in Sutherland Springs,TX: Given the free trade between states, can a state unilaterally regulate firearms. This post will try to start to give an answer to this question using R. Since there is not an open electronic federal database for firearm ownership and transactions, one important source of information is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, (ATF). [Read More]

Extending slackr

 Posted on October 25, 2017
The slackr package, by Bob Rudis, contains functions that make it possible to interact with the Slack messaging platform. The great part of Slack is that it has mobile devices application interface. We take advantage of this by extending slackr’s interaction with the server: Write to a channel (current) - slackr Compile TeX snippets directly to a channel - tex_slackr tex_slackr(xtable::xtable(mtcars)) This function uses the texPreview package to compile and generate the TeX output.

Regular Expression Searching within Shiny Selectize Objects

 Posted on September 26, 2017
regexSelect is a small package that uses Shiny modules to solve a problem in Shiny selectize objects - regular expression (regex) searching. You can quickly filter the values in the selectize object, while being able to add that new regex query to the selectize list. This is great for long lists, since you can return multiple item simultaneously without needing to endlessly click items in a list! Install install.packages('regexSelect') #devtools::install_github('yonicd/regexSelect') Below are two examples of using regular expressions to quickly populate multiple items in a ggplot and a datatable.

What is the appropriate population scaling of the Affordable Care Act Funding?

Analysis of the effects of the Graham-Cassidy Bill on the ACA population

Posted on September 26, 2017
I have been trying to decipher for myself, what is in the current (well, yesterday’s) Graham-Cassidy health care bill. I saw this image on many news outlets a few days ago and my inner hate for pie charts bubbled up. This is a zoom in on the pie chart … From what I can gather, these figures are attempting to say that there are specific states that are getting relatively more of the federal health care funds under the Afordable Care Act (ACA) than their relative state population.

Posted on September 18, 2017
Thinking of creating a new package? Dread the task of function documentation? Afraid to run devtools::check(build_args = '--as-cran') and get bombarded by Errors, Warnings, and Notes (oh my!) ? Wait…. breathe! After feeling all that anxiety and following all of Hadley’s directions online, I felt I was doing a lot of manual labour, and that a package should be doing all lot of this for me. So we wrote one - sinew (sin-yu). [Read More]
