fivethirtyeight 0.6.2

• Fixed bugs in tame.Rmd vignettes
• Fixed url's

fivethirtyeight v0.6.1

• Changed all vignette code to no longer dynamically read data off the web, per
  CRAN policy on internet access. All relevant outputs and figures are now hard
  coded.

• Wide to long/tidy data format in data examples now done with tidyr::pivot_longer() instead of tidyr::gather()
• Marium Tapal @mariumtapal created fivethirtyeightdata package using drat package to store large files. This is due to CRAN package size restrictions:
  • When installing fivethirtyeight user is now prompted to install fivethirtyeightdata
  • Moved all user-contributed vignettes to fivethirtyeightdata to keep package size down
  • Moved the following large datasets to fivethirtyeightdata

  [1] "castle_solutions"           "castle_solutions_2"
  [3] "castle_solutions_3"         "comic_characters"
  [5] "goose"                      "house_district_forecast"
  [7] "mayweather_mcgregor_tweets" "mlb_elo"
  [9] "nba_all_elo"                "nba_carmelo"
  [11] "nba_elo"                    "nfl_elo"
  [13] "quasi_winshares"            "raptor_by_player"
  [15] "raptor_by_team"             "ratings"
  [17] "senators"                   "spi_matches"
  [19] "twitter_presidents"
  

fivethirtyeight v0.5.0

• Added vignette corresponding to Technology Innovations in Statistics Education paper
• Removed tidyverse from DESCRIPTION Depends, Imports, or Suggests fields
• Added state_info data frame of state name, abbreviation, US census division/region
• Added state_abbrev variable to hate_crimes dataset so that
  users can plot state abbreviations via geom_text(aes(label = state_abbrev))
  instead of using less informative geom_point()
• Given CRAN package size restrictions, the following datasets only consist of a preview of the first 10 rows of the entire dataset: comic_characters, goose, house_district_forecast, mlb_elo, nba_carmelo, nfl_elo, ratings, senators, and spi_matches. Code to load the entire dataset are provided in the respective help file examples.
• Added new data sets:
  • By Starry Zhou: august_senate_polls, cabinet_turnover,
    elasticity_by_district, elasticity_by_state, endorsements_2020,
    forecast_results_2018, governor_national_forecast, governor_state_forecast,
    house_district_forecast, house_national_forecast, masculinity_survey,
    mueller_approval_polls, ncaa_w_bball_tourney, partisan_lean_district,

• Note mayweather_mcgregor_tweets, mlb_elo, nba_carmelo, nfl_elo, and senators datasets for now only include the first 10 rows of the data because of R package file size restrictions (< 5MB tarballs); code to download/process the entire dataset are included in help files. We hope to include full versions of these datasets in v0.5.0 of package using the drat package.
• Converted all ordinal categorical variables to factor(..., ordered = TRUE). Ex: bechdel$clean_test
• Vignette notes:
  • Added a vignette that has a link to all user-contributed vignettes, which are only available on development version of package and on GitHub due to CRAN package size restrictions. Run vignette("user_contributed_vignettes", package = "fivethirtyeight")
  • For all datasets that have a user contributed vignette, add a link to it in the corresponding help/roxygen code file.
