Who am I?
I am a business unit director at ThinkR, a company where we answer all your questions with R, offering training, development, installation and consultancy in everything around R.
Deep inside, I am a scientist. Indeed, I have a master in agronomy and a PhD in marine biology. But data analysis and R diverted me a little from my original objectives. I left the world of marine biology research to join ThinkR.
As a result, I continue to share my knowledge through trainings and open-source development. I still do data analysis and visualization, mostly through consultancy, while sharing development good practices. And I love it!
I play with the cards regularly, but I don’t really adjust patterns anymore. That said, I still have material to fill this blog and share my findings and other tips with you. On R mainly!
If you are curious about what we can do with spatial tools on non-geographical data, have a look at my category “geohacking”.
Enjoy your reading!

If every method in every stats journal was implemented in a corresponding R package (easy), was required to have a companion document that was a tutorial on how to use the software (easy), included a reference to how to cite the paper if you used the software (easy) and the paper/tutorial was posted to the relevant message boards for the communities of interest (easy) that journal would see a dramatic bump in its impact factor.
