About

Tidy Tales is a data science blog meant to demonstrate the skills needed in a typical data science project. Namely, wrangling, visualizing, modelling, and communicating data, all with the assistance of programming. The blog takes its name from the tidy data framework for structuring data, and from its narrative style. My inspiration for the blog came from Tidy Tuesday, a weekly data project for practicing and building data science skills with real-world data. Many, but not all, of the posts on Tidy Tales will use data from Tidy Tuesday.

tidytales's Issues

New post: Test that target!

Unit testing {targets} pipelines with {testthat}.

Purpose of the post is self-explanatory based on the title. I might be able to use Tidy Tuesday data if there are some messy examples that require wrangling.

Probably best to go with a simple pipeline with data import, and a few data wrangling steps. Then show how testthat can be used to test that the data meets certain criteria after being wrangled (e.g., values within certain range, etc.).

Fix social cards for posts

Apparently Quarto doesn't just include images declared in the social metadata params into the site, so they need to be explicitly added using the resources param

New Post: Important statistics papers

Post title: Unlearning statistics

Intro idea: I never learned anything about statistics until the first year of undergraduate psychology. And I was surprised I needed to learn about statistics, if I’m being honest (I’m one of many who went into psychology with the goal of helping people through clinical counselling). My first impression was that statistics was just math. I was good at math so I wasn’t too concerned. However, what I encountered instead was some strange discipline with all these tests with different names, supposedly important numbers called p-values, and a framework these tied into called NHST…

A lot of claims about how the world works capitalize on phenomena that have nothing to do with how the world (e.g., http://deevybee.blogspot.com/2013/06/interpreting-unexpected-significant.html)

Mainly as something of a reference list for papers that try to improve statistical thinking:

New post: R for Music

Matt Crump has been writing some cool music posts on his blog using R and it might be fun to add to the noise: https://fosstodon.org/@MattCrumpLab/111890790693802498

Post idea: This could be a fun little project to play around with {shinylive} in Quarto. Make a post with interactive fretboard diagrams for modes/scales, with UI options to change the key and mode. Can use the code from here as a starting place.

Post title: Maybe riff on Big Shiny Tunes. Big Shiny Tunes R?

Tweak heading font weight

Particularly for the title block on the home page, it feels a bit too heavy. Maybe 500 weight could work better

Edit: it feels fine on desktop. Just on mobile it feels heavy.
