Interpolating Smooth Lines with Splines Splines are a powerful tool in data visualization, allowing us to create smooth and continuous curves from a set of discrete points. In this article, we’ll explore how to use splines to interpolate lines in R using the ggplot2 package. Introduction to Splines A spline is a piecewise function that passes through a set of given points. It’s called “piecewise” because it’s made up of multiple segments or pieces, each defined by its own equation.

Random but Not Repeating Sampling Between Two Dataframes In this article, we will discuss a problem of sampling rows from one dataframe while ensuring that the addresses are not repeated until all unique addresses from another dataframe are used up. Introduction The problem at hand involves two dataframes. The first dataframe contains unique identifiers along with their corresponding cities. The second dataframe contains addresses along with the respective cities. We want to assign a random address for each unique identifier in the first dataframe, ensuring that the same address is not repeated until all unique addresses from the second dataframe are used up.
