I am an R statistical programmer who likes to develop content for statistical theory. My progress in R and Statistics so far:
- In my undergraduate days I developed an R package "fitODBOD" to fit over-dispersed binomial outcome data through various distributions. Recently an Rshiny application named fitODBODRshiny was developed for this package.
- For the Olympic data I built an Rshiny application and is available as an R package OlympicRshiny.
- Scraped data from pdf files and built several csv files that include data for the Sri Lankan presidential election results and is now available as an R package SLPresElection.
- The script data from the tv show "Southpark" was scraped from its wikia website and IMDB website. The resultant data was developed into an R package, Rshiny application was developed.
- Hosted my previous personal website through the R package blogdown in netlify. Currently, I am using Quarto for a stable personal website.
- As a graduate student, I aim to develop scalable methods for regression problems under big data.
Go through the repositories in this profile as needed and have fun (also cite).
Thank You.

Amalan.
