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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

R Source
Read-only mirror of R source code
The wch/r-source repository is a read-only mirror of the official R language source code, maintained to reflect the upstream Subversion (SVN) R core development tree. This mirror provides public visibility into R’s internals—everything from the interpreter, base and recommended packages, documentation, and C/Fortran code under the hood. It is updated hourly to stay in sync with the upstream SVN. Although it mirrors the R source for browsing and reference, it is not the “canonical development repo* (i.e. you can’t submit pull requests via that mirror). The repository includes build instructions, the full directory structure (src, src/library, doc, etc.), licensing information (GPL-2.0), and documentation. Developers, package authors, and curious users often browse this mirror to inspect implementation details, debug issues, or see how base functions are implemented in C or Fortran. -

ggstatsplot
Enhancing {ggplot2} plots with statistical analysis
{ggstatsplot} is an extension of {ggplot2} package for creating graphics with details from statistical tests included in the information-rich plots themselves. In a typical exploratory data analysis workflow, data visualization and statistical modeling are two different phases: visualization informs modeling, and modeling in its turn can suggest a different visualization method, and so on and so forth. Bayesian hypothesis-testing. The central idea of {ggstatsplot} is simple: combine these two phases into one in the form of graphics with statistical details, which makes data exploration simpler and faster. Summary of statistical tests and effect sizes. -

pointblank
Data quality assessment and metadata reporting for data frames
With the pointblank package it’s really easy to methodically validate your data whether in the form of data frames or as database tables. On top of the validation toolset, the package gives you the means to provide and keep up-to-date with the information that defines your tables. For table validation, the agent object works with a large collection of simple (yet powerful!) validation functions. We can enable much more sophisticated validation checks by using custom expressions, segmenting the data, and by selective mutations of the target table. The suite of validation functions ensures that everything just works no matter whether your table is a data frame or a database table. Sometimes, we want to maintain table information and update it when the table goes through changes. For that, we can use an informant object plus associated functions to help define the metadata entries and present it as a data dictionary. -

ComplexHeatmap is an R/Bioconductor package by Zuguang Gu et al. designed to create highly flexible, complex, richly annotated heatmaps and related visualizations. It allows arranging multiple heatmaps, adding annotations, combining heatmaps, customizing colors, layouts, and integrating other plots. Often used in genomics/bioinformatics to show expression, methylation, etc., with sidebars, annotations, clustering, etc. Highly customizable layout: combining different heatmaps, arranging and splitting, dealing with multiple heatmap merges, combining with other plots etc. Integration with Shiny / interactive heatmaps via companion packages (InteractiveComplexHeatmap) to allow interactivity, etc. -

Investing
Investing Returns on the Market as a Whole
This repository, owned by the user zonination (Zoni Nation), presents a data visualization and analysis project on long-term returns from broad stock market indexes, especially the S&P 500. The author gathers historical price data (adjusted for inflation and dividends) and computes growth trajectories under a “buy and hold” strategy over decades. The key insight illustrated is that over sufficiently long holding periods (e.g. 40 years), the stock market stabilizes and nearly always yields positive returns, even accounting for extreme market crashes and recessions. The visualizations show “return curves” for different starting years and durations, and also illustrate the probability of losses over various time horizons. The project is centered on transparency in finance and encourages users to examine the data themselves; the code is shared in R and uses ggplot2 for plotting. -

covid19model
Code for modelling estimated deaths and cases for COVID19
Code for modeling estimated deaths and infections for COVID-19 from "Estimating the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 in Europe", Flaxman, Mishra, Gandy et al, Nature, 2020, the published version of our original Report 13. This is the release related to our Tiers paper, where we use the latent factor model to estimate the effectiveness of tiers systems in England. Peer-reviewed version is to be out soon. All other code is still the same for previous releases. The code should be run in full mode to obtain credible results. Not running a full run to estimate anything is not recommended and discouraged. Only a full run should be used to get results. -
