R Weekly 2022-W36 Deciphering the ASD 50c coin, Palmer Penguins forever, rainclouds

This week’s release was curated by Miles McBain, with help from the R Weekly team members and contributors.

Highlight

A plot of kmeans cluster membership applied to Palmer Penguins (Bill length and depth) alongside the same applied to Iris (Petal Width vs Petal Length). Palmer Penguins clusters are not as cleanly separated.

A raincloud plot depicting a satisfaction score (x) distribution by brand (y)and cat vs dog owners (colour and shape). Density plots form the 'cloud', while the individual observations shown jittered underneath are the 'rain'.

Insights

A time-series plot of New York City subway ridership, showing a forecast series, 'Prophet W/ XGBoost Errors', with increasing trend and strong seasonality. It predicts a return to pre-2020 levels by 2028-2029

R in the Real World

A Sankey diagram showing income decomposed into various categories (e.g. 'Care Expenses', 'Deduction', 'Financial Independence') and sub-categories (e.g. 'Social Justice', 'Food', 'Transportation', 'Investment', 'Real Estate').
