I am an #rstats and open science enthusiast. I currently work at Highmark Health, managing a team of researchers. Outside of my day job, I serve as a methodologist on several research teams, and develop accessible data tools. This site contains my blog and other open resources for learning data analysis.
A few days ago I announced that I had completed the requirements for a PhD in Quantitative Psychology and (maybe more interestingly) that I had written my entire dissertation in Rmarkdown. It was more of a shoutout to @RStudio but the interest in how I did it was exciting.
Recently, our paper Furniture for Quantitative Scientists was posted in the R Journal. This paper discusses the use of descriptive statistics in exploring data through the furniture package. See the R Journal for the manuscript.
This has been updated to work with the most recent version of the furniture package.
