ggplot2
An implementation of the Grammar of Graphics in R
ggplot2 is a system written in R for declaratively creating graphics. It is based on The Grammar of Graphics, which focuses on following a layered approach to describe and construct visualizations or graphics in a structured manner. With ggplot2 you simply provide the data, tell ggplot2 how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it will take care of the rest. ggplot2 is over 10 years old and is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world for plotting. In most cases using ggplot2 starts with supplying a dataset and aesthetic mapping (with aes()); adding on layers (like geom_point() or geom_histogram()), scales (like scale_colour_brewer()), and faceting specifications (like facet_wrap()); and finally, coordinating systems. ggplot2 has a rich ecosystem of community-maintained extensions for those looking for more innovation. ggplot2 is a part of the tidyverse, an ecosystem of R packages designed for data science. -

Statistical Rethinking 2023
Statistical Rethinking Course for Jan-Mar 2023
The 2023 edition modernizes and expands on the same curriculum, adjusting exercises and code for newer versions of R, Stan, and supporting packages. It continues to provide scripts for lectures and tutorials, while integrating refinements to examples, notation, and computational workflows introduced that year. Compared with 2022, some models are rewritten for clarity, and teaching materials reflect refinements in McElreath’s evolving presentation of Bayesian data analysis. Students following the 2023 lecture videos use this repository as their coding reference. There are 10 weeks of instruction. Links to lecture recordings will appear in this table. Weekly problem sets are assigned on Fridays and due the next Friday, when we discuss the solutions in the weekly online meeting. -

rayshader
R Package for 2D and 3D mapping and data visualization
This is an R package designed for producing beautiful and interactive 2D and 3D visualizations — especially maps and terrain renderings — using elevation/gridded data and ray-tracing / hill-shading methods. At its core, rayshader takes a matrix of elevations and applies shading, texture, ambient occlusion, overlays, and light modeling (ray shade, lambertian shading, etc.) to produce realistic relief maps. Users can rotate, zoom, and animate the scenes or script camera trajectories programmatically. It supports outputting high-quality renders via path tracing (using a companion package) and also offers depth-of-field (“cinematic blur”) effects to bring visual focus into scenes. It allows layering relational data (roads, points, polygons) on top of the shaded terrain, so you can combine spatial data overlays with the 3D model. The package can export models to 3D formats like STL or OBJ for 3D printing or external rendering. -

NYC Taxi Data
Import public NYC taxi and for-hire vehicle (Uber, Lyft)
The nyc-taxi-data repository is a rich dataset and exploratory project around New York City taxi trip records. It collects and preprocesses large-scale trip datasets (fares, pickup/dropoff, timestamps, locations, passenger counts) to enable data analysis, modeling, and visualization efforts. The project includes scripts and notebooks for cleaning and filtering the raw data, memory-efficient processing for large CSV/Parquet files, and aggregation workflows (e.g. trips per hour, heatmaps of pickups/dropoffs). It also contains example analyses—spatial and temporal visualizations like maps, time-series plots, and hotspot detection—highlighting insights such as patterns of demand, peak times, and geospatial distributions. The repository is often used as a benchmark dataset and example for teaching, benchmarking, and demonstration purposes in the data science and urban analytics communities. -

RStan
RStan, the R interface to Stan
RStan is the R interface to Stan, a C++ library for statistical modeling and high-performance statistical computation. It lets users specify models in the Stan modeling language (for Bayesian inference), compile them, and perform inference from R. Key inference approaches include full Bayesian inference via Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (specifically the No-U-Turn Sampler, NUTS), approximate Bayesian inference via variational methods, and optimization (penalized likelihood). RStan integrates with Stan’s automatic differentiation library, provides diagnostics, model comparison, posterior predictive checks, etc. It is used in research, applied statistics, and modelling workflows where flexibility and rigor in Bayesian methods are required. -

blavaan
An R package for Bayesian structural equation modeling
blavaan is a free, open-source R package for Bayesian latent variable analysis. It relies on JAGS and Stan to estimate models via MCMC. The blavaan functions and syntax are similar to lavaan. The development version of blavaan (containing updates not yet on CRAN) can be installed via the command provided in the documentation. Compilation is required; this may be a problem for users who currently rely on a binary version of blavaan from CRAN. The blavaan package depends on the lavaan package for model specification and for some computations. This means that, if you already know lavaan, then you should already be able to do many things in blavaan. In particular, many blavaan commands add the letter “b” to the start of the lavaan command. It is also sometimes possible to use a lavaan command on a blavaan object, though the results may not always be what you expect. -

gt R
Easily generate information-rich, publication-quality tables from R
With the gt package, anyone can make wonderful-looking tables using the R programming language. The gt philosophy: we can construct a wide variety of useful tables with a cohesive set of table parts. These include the table header, the stub, the column labels and spanner column labels, the table body, and the table footer. It all begins with table data (be it a tibble or a data frame). You then decide how to compose your gt table with the elements and formatting you need for the task at hand. Finally, the table is rendered by printing it at the console, including it in an R Markdown document, or exporting it to a file using gtsave(). Currently, gt supports the HTML, LaTeX, and RTF output formats. -

nichenetr
NicheNet: predict active ligand-target links between interacting cells
nichenetr: the R implementation of the NicheNet method. The goal of NicheNet is to study intercellular communication from a computational perspective. NicheNet uses human or mouse gene expression data of interacting cells as input and combines this with a prior model that integrates existing knowledge on ligand-to-target signaling paths. This allows to predict ligand-receptor interactions that might drive gene expression changes in cells of interest. This model of prior information on potential ligand-target links can then be used to infer active ligand-target links between interacting cells. NicheNet prioritizes ligands according to their activity (i.e., how well they predict observed changes in gene expression in the receiver cell) and looks for affected targets with high potential to be regulated by these prioritized ligands. -
