{ggview} can print plots to Viewer (Rstudio or Positron) with true scaling. Adjust plot settings and see the final proportions immediately.

Save the plot once 👌

e.g.:
ggplot(...) +
ggview::canvas(width = 220, height = 220*2/3, units = "mm", dpi = 300)

🚨New paper!🚨 Models predict trees like beech will migrate north as climate warms, but rarely consider tree reproduction. Jessie shows these “refuges” are exactly where climate warming will disrupt seed production the most. They may not be such great climate refuges after all.

You can now pass random variables to any aesthetic in any ggplot geom/stat. If you can express it as a distribution, ggdibbler can plot it. It also works with ggplot extensions, like gganimate. #rstats

#stats Modelling proportion data? A reminder that adding small values to true zeroes (or subtracting from 1) can severely distort results

Instead, try ordered beta models (or ZOIB) available in brms, ordbetareg or glmmTMB #rstats 📦

Great tutorial: doi.org/10.31234/osf...
The dataset contains nine 0s and one 1. One approach is to nudge our 0s towards .01 and our 1s to .99, or apply a special formula (Smithson & Verkuilen, 2006) so values fall within the [0, 1] interval. We implore readers not to engage in this practice. Kubinec (2022) showed that this practice can result in serious distortion of the outcome as the sample size grows larger, resulting in ever smaller values that are “nudged”. Because the Beta distribution is a non-linear model of the outcome, values that are very close to the boundary, such as 0.00001 or 0.99999, will be highly influential outliers.

Two years ago we got together in a beautiful mountain to learn and develop #rstats packages for ecology

After {labeleR} (ecologyr.github.io/labeleR/) and {BlueCarbon} (ecologyr.github.io/BlueCarbon/), {mappestRisk} is now officially out! See thread by lead author @dario-ssm.bsky.social 👇

It was great to host @julenastigarraga.bsky.social at BC3 today. He gave a fantastic talk about improving predictions in ecology and the role of mechanistic models in predicting change in forests. Hoping we can keep the conversations going and collaborate in the near future!
