Hadley Wickham is a statistician from New Zealand who is currently Chief Scientist at RStudio[1][2] and an adjunct Professor of statistics at the University of Auckland[3], Stanford University[4], and Rice University.[5] He is best known for his development of open-source statistical analysis software packages for R (programming language) that implement logics of data visualisation and data transformation. Wickham's packages and writing are known for advocating a tidy data approach to data import, analysis and modelling methods.

Life


Wickham received a Bachelors of Human Biology, and a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in statistics at the University of Auckland in 1999–2004 and his PhD at Iowa State University in 2008 under the supervision of Di Cook and Heike Hofmann.[6][7] In 2006 he was awarded the John Chambers Award for Statistical Computing for his work developing tools for data reshaping and visualisation.[8] His sister Charlotte Wickham is also a statistician.


He is a prominent and active member of the R user community and has developed several notable and widely used packages including ggplot2, plyr, dplyr, and reshape2.[5][9] Wickham's data analysis packages for R are collectively known as the 'tidyverse'.[10] According to Wickham's "tidy" approach, each variable should be a column, each observation should be a row, and each type of observational unit should be a table.[11]


Wickham was named a Fellow by the American Statistical Association in 2015 for "pivotal contributions to statistical practice through innovative and pioneering research in statistical graphics and computing".[12]

Electric locomotive

Electric locomotive Škoda ChS4-109. The Moscow — Odessa train in Vinnytsia railway station. The Siemens ES64U4, is the current confirmed holder as the fastest electric locomotive at 357 km/h (222 mph) in 2006. An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor. Electric locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system. Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90% (not including the inefficiency of generating the electricity). Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put power back on the line. Newer electric locomotives ...
