Making beautiful figures? Struggling with colour choice? Look no further:

To find the most beautiful palette of colors to use in your R figures, use Cindy Brewer's website colorbrewer2.org/ and then set the colors to the hex values, e.g. col=c("#8dd3c7", "#FFFFB3", "#BEBADA", "#FB8072", "#80B1D3","#FDB462") #Rstats

Are you curious to learn what #rstats & #tidyverse can do for you and how they work? Yes, then this 8 page “Getting Started in R” guide is for you. It uses realistic examples and a real life dataset to wrangle, visualise and summarise data. Try it now at github.com/saghirb/Getting-S…

I was recently asked to give a stats talk in my department on how to analyse zero-inflated count data, which is a common problem in ecology (and especially behavioural ecology). I came up with this flowchart and thought I'd share it in case it's useful for any of you #rstats

In effort to standardize data, add ecological context to specimens, & bring consistency across projects, @botanic made custom field books for 2018 season. Complete w/ pages for ecological site descriptions, all terms are defined in partnering #metadata dictionary @SpnhcTdwgNZ

Finally got around to writing up a tutorial for my new #rstats 3d network #Datavisualization & layout library: network3d. Uses #javascript to display and calculate layouts for large networks interactively. The only dependency is htmlwidgets. Try it out! livefreeordichotomize.com/20…

What are the key classic papers of science that grad students of many fields should read? To start off, how about: Hurlbert (1984) Pseudoreplication Hardin (1968) Tragedy of commons Chamberlin (1965) multiple working hypotheses

Be careful out there, folks: "Based on some reasonable assumptions regarding main effects and interactions, you need 16 times the sample size to estimate an interaction than to estimate a main effect" andrewgelman.com/2018/03/15/…

OK twitter, what's your opinions on the PCA-axis-as-new-variable approach? ie 1. Collect many correlated variables 2. do PCA 3. interpret the first few axes as being about something specific 4. use those axes in a multiple regression #rstats #ecology
