I can't remember the last time I renamed variables manually in #rstats. I always use my data dictionary for renaming! That way, if I ever need to update names in the future, I'm only updating once in my data dictionary, not in both my data dictionary and script. 🙌

My book is done. I need to write a conclusion to the last chapter and will likely rewrite some paragraphs, but I won't make major changes anymore. So if you're interested in building reproducible analytical pipelines with #RStats, take a look it's free: raps-with-r.dev/

The #Stata-to-#LaTeX guide has been updated to fix some minor syntax issues and make it compatible with the TeX 2021 compiler on #Overleaf.
This is still the most viewed and used guide. I will add some more content to it soon.

(1/n) Social science research often relies on scans of documents such as statistical tables, newspapers, firm level reports, etc. #EconTwitter
