Hi, I'm Jocelyn and I started The Bitwise as an online journal to share coding tutorials, projects, and conversations on careers in statistics, math, and data science. Featured here is my dog, Henry! He'll be our mascot so you'll be seeing more of him in future posts. Thanks for dropping by and please come back for our projects and conversations!
When we shop online, we often get recommendations for other products that are similar to ones we've been looking at. Systems that recommend related products and services are frequently referred to as recommendation systems. In today's Code Lab, we'll code a simple recommendation system using something called cosine similarity!
In our last two posts, we went over how to start making data visualizations in R with ggplot2. Now that we've finished that series, let's work on a Code Lab featuring exploratory data analysis! Today, we’ll be exploring patterns in urban bike share usage...
Now that we’ve had several posts on getting started with coding in R (see Part 1, Part 2, and More Resources) we’re ready to get started with our first Code Lab! In this post, we’ll see how we can estimate pi with dart throwing in R!
