A bag of new features coming in #rdatatable. My fav ones are let (an alias for `:=`(...)) and by=.I for row-wise operation. rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.ta…

I wish every tutorial was like this! Not only really clear but also explains the thoughts behind the design of the #rdatatable package. cran.r-project.org/web/packa…

Hi. Looking for an alternative to DataCamp with course material on data.table (more than a brief intro). I find that most of the things listed in these threads is tidyverse oriented. We tend to use base r and data.table and the survey package where I work. Thanks for any help

If you want speed, learning to use the data.table package in #rstats is a good option too. See also these benchmarks: h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark… #rdatatable

This looks awesome. I am a big @rdatatable user, too.

One thing I really like about data.table is how easy it makes conditional operations "Update just part of the data": dt[condition, variable := calculation] "Do a conditional calculation and apply broadly" dt[, growth_since_january := value/mean(value[month==1]), by = group]

And if you want to really go for pole position: library(data.table) df.all <- rbindlist(lapply(v.filename, fread)) print(df.all) /cc @rdatatable

Dear #rdatatable team, thanks for making this possible!

Hi @MattDowle, I made an introduction a few days ago to the #rdatatable framework using some real world data. This is here (presentations.utilitr.org/at…). This might interest some of your (French speaking) datatable folks. Associated book chapter here: book.utilitr.org/datatable.h… #RStats

Public data, public health -- so below is some public code too. The @rdatatable and #ggplot2 combination makes it a breeze. #rstats for the win

Per the @Rdatatable benchmarks at h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark… (which includes a 'join' problem likely close to your merge issue) you are probably unlikely to beat `data.table` just by going to #Python or #Rcpp. Maybe profile a little and then discuss with team @Rdatatable?

Some less known features of #Rdatatable like non-equi joins & rolling joins The unequalled joy of non-equi joins: selbydavid.com/2021/02/13/jo… non-equi merge in data.table and epidemiology: scitilab.com/post_data/non_e… R – Data.Table Rolling Joins: gormanalysis.com/blog/r-data… #Rstats

Love the feeling of succesfully writing nested non-equi join with by = .EACHI, and it runs in seconds on tens of millions of observations. <3 data.table.

One of the reason I like #rdatatable 😉

data.table::fread() is the best CSV reader ever.

Need to say it again today, best #rstats packages ever: 1. data.table 2. data.table 3 ggplot2 data.table reduced the runtime of my code from 9 hours to five seconds today! Thank you, @MattDowle (and also @hadleywickham of course for ggplot2)!

I love data.table for large data, speed and simplicity of syntax.
