Hey #rstats community,

I am looking for the Model Selection book (1986) from Linhart and Zucchini. More specifically, I am interested in passages discussing and defining discrepancies.

If you have a physical or digital copy of the book, please reach out to me in this thread or DM.

Hey #rstats community, I am looking at creating an R package to pair with my dissertation. There is a need to have either a C or C++ backend to speed up the computations. Which language do you suggest using and how would you implement?
