🦠🚀 Empowering #Dengue research through data! The Dengue Data Hub, an initiative by the R Consortium, is revolutionizing access to dengue-related data. Learn how researchers can easily use this resource with the denguedatahub package, Shiny app, and website.

I made a small #rstats package for embedding an interactive directory listing as a HTML widget 📂
Great for demonstrating or discussing about folder structure in class or otherwise!

Forecasting competitions are of increasing importance as a means to learn best practices and gain knowledge. Data leakage is one of the most common issues that can often be found in competitions. Data leaks can happen when the training data contains information about the test data. There are a variety of different ways that data leaks can occur with time series data. For example: i) randomly chosen blocks of time series are concatenated to form a new time series; ii) scale-shifts; iii) repeating patterns in time series; iv) white noise is added to the original time series to form a new time series, etc. This work introduces a novel tool to detect these data leaks. The tsdataleaks package provides a simple and computationally efficient algorithm to exploit data leaks in time series data. This paper demonstrates the package design and its power to detect data leakages with an application to forecasting competition data.
This is a local chapter of R-Ladies Global (https://www.rladies.org), an organization that promotes gender diversity in the R community worldwide. We meetup in person or virtually to learn about the R programming language, algorithms and advanced tools. R-Ladies welcomes members of all R proficiency
