Introduction to Data Manipulation with Pandas and NumPy In this article, we will explore two of the most powerful libraries in data manipulation: Pandas and NumPy. Specifically, we will discuss how to create a new column where the values are selected based on an existing column. Pandas is a popular library for data manipulation and analysis in Python. It provides data structures such as Series (1-dimensional labeled array) and DataFrames (2-dimensional labeled data structure with columns of potentially different types).

Grouping by Specific Columns and Summarizing the Number of Rows Using Dplython in Python Dplython is a Python port of the popular R package dplyr, which provides a fast and efficient way to manipulate and analyze data. In this article, we’ll explore how to group by specific columns and summarize the number of rows using dplython. Introduction to Dplython Dplython is a Python library that allows you to easily manipulate and analyze data in data frames.

Understanding UIView Alpha Properties and UISlider Control Issues Introduction As developers, we often encounter issues with UI elements in our iOS applications. One such common problem is setting the alpha value of a UIView subclass object. In this article, we’ll delve into the intricacies of UIView alpha properties and explore why the alpha value of an OverlayView object resets to 0 when the UISlider control’s hidden property changes. Understanding UIView Alpha Properties The alpha value of a UIView represents its transparency level.

Two plots in one plot (ggplot2) Introduction In this post, we’ll explore a common problem in data visualization: combining multiple plots into a single plot. Specifically, we’ll discuss how to merge two plots created using ggplot2, a popular R package for creating static graphics. We’ll use the ggplot2 package to create two separate plots and then combine them into one cohesive graph. Background The problem arises when you have multiple plots that serve different purposes but share common data.

Understanding Joined Queries and Updating Them Directly As a technical blogger, I’ll be covering the concept of joined queries in detail, including how to edit and update them directly. This will involve understanding the basics of SQL joins, as well as Firebird 3.0’s specific features. What are Joined Queries? A joined query is a type of SQL query that combines data from two or more tables based on common columns between them.

Parsing Full Names with SQL Server SQL Server provides several functions and techniques for parsing full names into individual components. In this article, we will explore how to extract the first letter from the first name, middle names, and last name using SQL Server. Understanding SQL Server Name Functions Before diving into the code, it’s essential to understand the various functions available in SQL Server for parsing names. The following functions are relevant to our discussion:

Creating a Calculated Field in R at Each Record/Row Level Introduction In this post, we will explore how to create a calculated field in R that applies to each record or row level. We’ll use the dplyr package and its functions to achieve this. The Problem Given a dataset with two columns, count_pol and const_q, we want to create a new column y where the value depends on the combination of these two columns.

Working with ViewCell Layouts in iOS: A Guide to Achieving Different Layouts for Various Device Sizes As an iOS developer, working with view cells and layouts can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with different device sizes. In this article, we will explore the best ways to use different viewCell layouts in iOS, focusing on how to achieve varying layouts for various device sizes without resorting to using multiple nib files.

Using Different Color Markers or ID Numbers for Different Coordinates with Legend in Leaflet As a technical blogger, I’ll cover the intricacies of creating custom markers and legends for Leaflet maps in R. We’ll delve into the world of GeoJSON, color mapping, and the use of custom legend functions. Introduction Leaflet is an excellent JavaScript library for creating interactive maps. In this article, we’ll explore how to add custom markers with different colors or IDs and create a legend that corresponds to these custom markers.

data %>% mutate_if(is.logical, as.character) %>% mutate_at(paste0('var'), recode, '1'='0', '2'='1', '3'='2', '4'='3') %>% mutate_at(paste0('var', c(65,73,99)), recode, '1'='0', '2'='0', '3'='0', '4'='1')
