Shiny Apps

HarrellPlot

A plotting tool for researchers, instructors, and students combining data, distribution summary, model effects, and uncertainty in a single plot

R doodles

Some ecology. Some physiology. Much fake data.

What is an R doodle? An R doodle is a short script to check intuition or understanding. Almost always, this involves generating fake data.

Where can I find R doodles? Here. Some of these will be expanded into longer, interactive quasi-publications. Some of these might be fleshed out into manuscripts for archiving at PeerJ preprints or bioR$\chi$iv. Others will be expanded into Shiny apps. Some I might even submit for publication in a journal.
