I’m starting as data analyst (roughly bachelor level). My responsibility will be to analyze time series data and classify agents and write reports. I won’t be responsible for the database management. It’s likely that I have to use R because my colleagues use R. I guess I may use python if it’s more appropriate.
Which books and other things can you guys recommend? What should I avoid?
You’ll probably have to generate a lot of plots, graphs and figures. Choosing the right type of figure to explain the data is an important skill - maybe have a play with some of the examples from https://r-graph-gallery.com/
thanks! That’s good to go through. knowing plots is always good
If you’re doing a lot of reporting I highly recommend getting familiar with Quarto. It’s incredibly flexible for writing ad hoc reports, automated reporting, dashboards, presentations, etc. You can use python, R, observable, or Julia.
Thanks! I’ll def check it out =) and it looks like a good alternative to weave
