Talk:RStudio

Puffery or serious examples?
On 2024-02-19T14:14:48, user:192.41.114.224 deleted major references describing the need for reproducibility in research and examples using R Markdown vignettes and Jupyter notebooks, claiming, "‎Reproducible analyses with R Markdown vignettes: this is puffery and OR reference synthesis", leaving only an unsubstantiated claim that, "R Markdown vignettes and Jupyter notebooks make the data analysis reproducible. R Markdown vignettes have been included as appendices with tutorials on Wikiversity."

I respectfully disagree with this deletion. DISCLAIMER: I have used RStudio to create R Markdown vignettes for over 15 years, including creating the ones included as appendices to articles on Wikiversity, cited in notes to this article that were deleted with this edit by user:192.41.114.224.

I think that the support that RStudio provides for reproducible research via R Markdown vignettes are a key advantage of RStudio, and I think that should be appropriately described in this article. That discussion should, I think, include citations to key references like the classic work of Popper (1968) and the more recent survey by Baker (2016) plus the books by Xie et al. describing how to do it.

Accordingly, I am reverting this edit by user:192.41.114.224. I hope other Wikipedia editors will agree that the material I'm restoring merits retention in this article. Thanks, DavidMCEddy (talk) 16:06, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I do not agree that a brief description of the need for reproducibility is "puffery". I've restored my previous comments to that effect, which you deleted, but as a "note", not in the primary text. I hope you will find that acceptable. Thanks for your efforts to Prime objective: to give "every single person on the planet ... free access to the sum of all human knowledge." DavidMCEddy (talk) 15:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
