Regression and Other Stories
Many textbooks on regression focus on theory and the simplest of examples. Real statistical problems, however, are complex and subtle. This is not a book about the theory of regression. It is a book about how to use regression to solve real problems of comparison, estimation, prediction, and causal inference. It focuses on practical issues such as sample size and missing data and a wide range of goals and techniques. It jumps right in to methods and computer code you can use fresh out of the box.

Data Science in a Box
How can we effectively and efficiently teach data science to students with little to no background in computing and statistical thinking? How can we equip them with the skills and tools for reasoning with various types of data and leave them wanting to learn more? This introductory data science course is our (working) answer to this question.
Welcome | Geocomputation with R
Welcome | Geocomputation with R is for people who want to analyze, visualize and model geographic data with open source software. It is based on R, a statistical programming language that has powerful data processing, visualization, and geospatial capabilities. The book equips you with the knowledge and skills to tackle a wide range of issues manifested in geographic data, including those with scientific, societal, and environmental implications. This book will interest people from many backgrounds, especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS) users interested in applying their domain-specific knowledge in a powerful open source language for data science, and R users interested in extending their skills to handle spatial data.

ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis
This is the on-line version of work-in-progress 3rd edition of ggplot2: elegant graphics for data analysis published by Springer. You can learn what s changed from the 2nd edition in the Preface. While this book gives some details on the basics of ggplot2, its primary focus is explaining the Grammar of Graphics that ggplot2 uses, and describing the full details. It is not a cookbook, and won t necessarily help you create any specific graphic that you need. But it will help you understand the details of the underlying theory, giving you the power to tailor any plot specifically to your needs.

Library of Statistical Techniques (LOST)
LOST is a publicly-editable website with the goal of making it easy to execute statistical techniques in statistical software. Each page of the website contains a statistical technique which may be an estimation method, a data manipulation or cleaning method, a method for presenting or visualizing results, or any of the other kinds of things that statistical software typically does. For each of those techniques, the LOST page will contain code for performing that method in a variety of packages and languages. It may also contain information (or links) with thorough descriptions of the method, but the focus here is on implementation. How can you do it in your language of choice? If there are multiple ways, how are those ways different? Is the way you used to do it outdated, or does it do something unexpected? What's the R equivalent of that command you know about in Stata or SAS, or vice versa? In short, LOST is a Rosetta Stone for statistical software.

ETC5512: Wild Caught Data
Data can be obtained from many sources. It may be generated via experiments, collected from observational studies or surveys, obtained via sampling, or recorded using sensors. Each type of data has its own characteristics that affect the analysis tools we use. Very large data sets come with their own challenges and require some database skills. This unit will equip you with the tools to understand and use different sources of data. Open data sources will be emphasised.

If you know of a resource that you think should be included on this list you are welcome to add it. Simply fork this repo make your changes and submit a pull request.
All the resources in this are organised via a CSV file. When you look at this list you will not that some entries only have values in the first 4 fields:
- type
- metadata_available
- metadata_n
- link
In these cases the metadata_available value is “yes”. This means that all the needed metadata can be automatically downloaded via the resources web metadata. The metadata_n field indicates how much of the URL needs to be read in order to get all the needed metadata (more on this later).
You can test yourself if the metadata of the resource you wish to add is available using the following helper function.
read_meta <- function(url, n = 400){
doc <- readLines(url, n = n) |>
paste0(collapse = '') #|> # cleans parts of page where tag contents are across multiple rows
nodes <- doc |>
read_html() |>
html_nodes('meta, title')
meta_prop <- nodes |>
map_dfr(~ tibble(property = html_attr(.x, 'property'),
content = html_attr(.x, 'content'))) |>
filter(!is.na(property))
meta_name <- nodes |>
map_dfr(~ tibble(property = html_attr(.x, 'name'),
content = html_attr(.x, 'content'))) |>
filter(!is.na(property))
meta <- bind_rows(meta_prop, meta_name)
title <- nodes |> html_nodes(xpath = "/html/head/title") |> html_text()
title_tag <- if ('og:title' %in% meta$property) 'title' else 'og:title'
if (length(title) > 0) {
meta <- meta |>
add_row(property = title_tag,
content = title)
}
return(meta)
}Just run the function in R to get a table of available metadata. What we are looking for here are fields for a title, description and image. Usually these fields are prefixed with og: which indicates they comply with the Open Graph metadata standard. Indeed if we test the Open Graph website, we get the following:
read_meta('https://ogp.me/', n = 100) |> knitr::kable()| property | content |
|---|---|
| og:title | Open Graph protocol |
| og:type | website |
| og:url | https://ogp.me/ |
| og:image | https://ogp.me/logo.png |
| og:image:type | image/png |
| og:image:width | 300 |
| og:image:height | 300 |
| og:image:alt | The Open Graph logo |
| og:description | The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. |
| fb:app_id | 115190258555800 |
| description | The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. |
| title | The Open Graph protocol |
If you get a complete metadata record simply add the details to the first three fields, including metadata_available as “yes” and metadata_n as “100”. The metadata_n field is needed in order to limit the amount of each webpage that is read; remember we are only after the metadata and this is generally found in the first 100 rows. Increment n by 100 until you get something. You can see exactly where the metadata is by inspecting the resources code.
Where a resources metadata does not include a title, description and image; please add these additional fields to the CSV and set metadata_available value as “no”.
And that’s it. You have added a new R resource to the list.
