Creating Day After Long Weekend Flag in Pandas In this article, we will explore how to create a new column in a pandas DataFrame that indicates whether it is the day after a long weekend. A long weekend is typically defined as a weekend (Saturday or Sunday) plus an additional consecutive holiday. Background and Context Long weekends are commonly observed in many countries, where employees are granted an extra day off after a public holiday.

Communicating Between Embedded Shiny App and HTML Table in Parent Page Introduction Shiny apps are a great way to create interactive web applications with R. However, when integrating them into existing HTML pages, communication between the app and the parent page can be challenging. In this article, we will explore how to communicate between an embedded Shiny app and an HTML table in the parent page. Understanding Shiny Apps Before diving into communication between the Shiny app and the parent page, it’s essential to understand the basics of Shiny apps.

Understanding Bitmasks: A Deep Dive Bitmasks are a fundamental concept in computer science, particularly in programming and data storage. They are a way to represent a collection of flags or values using a single integer value. In this article, we will delve into the world of bitmasks, exploring their history, basics, and practical applications. What are Bitmasks? A bitmask is a binary number that represents a set of bits (0s and 1s) within an integer value.

Pulling Transaction Type from a Transaction Log In this article, we will explore how to extract the type of transaction (A-only, B-only, or A&B) from a large transaction log dataset using R. Problem Statement The problem at hand is that the transaction log dataset contains information about articles and their corresponding Maingroups, as well as a payment type column. The Maingroup determines whether the payment type is A or B. However, there isn’t an existing function to recognize the type of transaction (A-only, B-only, or A&B).

Working with Datasets in R: Assigning Values from One Partner to the Other In this article, we will explore how to assign values from one partner in a dyad to the other partner using the dplyr package in R. Understanding Dyads and Data Structures A dyad is a pair of units that are related to each other. In the context of our problem, we have data on individuals within dyads. We can represent this data as a dataframe with columns for the individual ID, the partner’s identity (dyad), and the income.

Using df.loc[] vs df[] Shorthand with Boolean Masks, Pandas Introduction When working with pandas DataFrames in Python, it’s essential to understand the different indexing methods available. Two common methods are using the df[] shorthand and df.loc[]. In this article, we’ll delve into the differences between these two methods, particularly when it comes to boolean masks. Boolean Indexing Pandas provides an efficient way to filter data using boolean Series (or other iterables).

Understanding String Replacing with Python Pandas In this article, we will delve into the world of string manipulation using Python’s powerful Pandas library. Specifically, we will explore how to replace the first characters in a series of strings within a Pandas DataFrame. Introduction to Pandas and DataFrames Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of string replacing, let’s take a brief look at what Pandas and DataFrames are all about. Pandas is a Python library that provides data structures and functions for efficiently handling structured data.

Implementing Delegation for Custom Radio Button Selection in iPhone ====================================================== In this article, we will explore how to notify a delegate about custom radio button index selection in an iPhone application. We’ll start by discussing the basics of delegation and then dive into implementing it for our custom radio buttons. What is Delegation? Delegation is a design pattern that allows one object (the client) to request services from another object (the provider).

Using a Large SpatialPolygonsDataFrame in Shiny App with Leaflet As a user of the popular R programming language, you may have encountered situations where working with large geospatial data becomes a challenge. In this blog post, we will explore how to use a large SpatialPolygonsDataFrame in your Shiny app, specifically when using the Leaflet map widget. Introduction R Shiny is an excellent framework for building web applications, allowing you to create interactive dashboards and visualizations with ease.

Comparing Strings in Two Columns to Produce a New Column In this article, we will explore how to compare strings in two columns of a pandas DataFrame to produce a new column. This can be achieved using various methods such as exploding the first column, creating masks, and then aggregating the results. Background When working with DataFrames, it’s often necessary to perform string comparisons between values in different columns. In this case, we have two columns: “names” with approximately 10 characters per entry, and “articles” with approximately 20,000 characters per entry.
