As part of converting my Criminal Analysis Data Project code from R to Julia, I thought I would create a series of small posts detailing components of the translation process of data operations in smaller bits. This particular post will show a solution for how to take tabular data from a CSV and load it…

Julia’s Gadfly for R ggplot2 Users
Over the past week I have been reading the documentation and playing with Julia’s Gadfly package. I thought it would be helpful to fellow R users coming from the world of ggplot2 to put together a quick reference guide to show the translation from one to the other. The coding and style for creating data…
Converting R scripts to Julia (Part 2)
As part of my Getting COVID-19 Data posts in R, Python and Julia, I will now advance to part two of the conversion process. As we saw in Part 1 of this post series, we duplicated the R scripts into the language specific script folder and changed the file extensions to the appropriate language. In…

Getting COVID-19 Data (Julia)
In this post, I will cover getting open source COVID-19 data for the United States using Julia. The data pipeline demonstrated here is very simple example and could easily be adapted into a Prefect, Apache NiFi or Apache AirFlow ETL process. Data Search Performing a quick search on DuckDuckGo I got The COVID Tracking Project,…

Converting R scripts to Julia (Part 1)
UPDATE (8-JAN-2021): I have decided to demonstrate the conversion process using my Getting COVID-19 Data post and script instead of my Criminal Analysis project for right now. I will still be working through the conversion process for those scripts as well, but for now, I will demonstrate the conversion and translation process on a shorter…
Converting R scripts to Python (Part 1)
As part of my Criminal Analysis project, I have been initially coding everything in R. I am going to eventually convert everything to Python then probably to Julia. In preparation for this, I created my project directory to reflect this (as seen below). The following operations in the command line interface (CLI) will be in…
