@statsforbios.bsky.socialReposted by @simonsmart.bsky.socialPreprint shinyapp by @simonsmart.bsky.social here. User-friendly, reproducible software for high-resolution predictions from aggregate polygon case counts (or other data). Once you're done, click a button to get a Rmd file out. #RStats #DiseaseMapping #malaria
@simonsmart.bsky.socialI like the backticks as it makes the options immediately distinguishable from the explanatory text and to me this is valid R code. Including the quotes makes it easier to copy and paste and is what the user needs to provide. So it seems as if C is “correct”, but if so why do tidyverse use B? 3/3
@simonsmart.bsky.socialThen I inherited code with option C and checked the tidyverse style guide which says “Text that contains valid R code should be marked as such using backticks” style.tidyverse.org/documentatio... but then looking at various docs in the tidyverse, they use option B. github.com/tidyverse/ti... 2/3
@simonsmart.bsky.social#rstats When you have a choice of characters as a parameter to a function, how should the choices be formatted in the docs? I have previously used option A without ever checking what the "correct" way is. 1/3
@simonsmart.bsky.socialIt was already one of the most impactful academic shiny apps with > 400 citations, but this update makes it reproducible using {shinyscholar}. Whatever you do in the app, you can download a Quarto document that reproduces every step or render it to produce an html report. 2/5
@simonsmart.bsky.socialMetainsight is now available on CRAN! cran.r-project.org/package=meta... It is a shiny app for conducting network meta-analysis, which in simple terms, is used by doctors to decide which of multiple treatments is best to treat your ailments. #rstats #metaanalysis #openscience 1/5
