.txtLAB is a cultural analytics lab at McGill University. In my role as a research assistant, I prepared a report on the distribution of U.S. colleges in the NBA draft: writing R scripts to scrape data using the rvest package, and quantifying/visualizing inequality by generating regression models and Lorenz curves in R. I also led a team of 6 research assistants on an annotation project examining citation practices in academic journals, and cleaned over 10,000 rows of manual data entries using R’s tidyverse package. Finally, I investigated the frequency of certain topics in humanities journals using sigmoid & multilinear temporal models.
