In which use cases does #RStats excel for you compared to other languages?

If you've done it other ways and speak from experience, even better.

Against my better instincts, I have written some notes on how human probability judgements work and what you should expect from surveys that ask people to guess what proportion of the population is transgender. I hope never to speak of this matter again

For the love of fuck, literally nobody thinks that 20% of the population is transgender. Please stop sharing that ridiculous YouGov statistic

I'm considering writing a proposal for R Consortium ISC funding to write a free & open source book on LLMs/AI in R. Advice out there is scattered between different resources. Wondering if this is something the wider #rstats community would be interested in, & what folks would like to see in there?

Hey #rstats friends! 👋

Only one week to go until my "Introduction to R Packages" tutorial at #WOMBAT2025!

This is a gentle introduction to making R packages, going from initial code to `devtools::check()`

Still plenty of spots available :)

for once i have managed to write a short blog post on a lazy sunday arvo, picking up on a suggestion from @coolbutuseless.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy for generating procedural palettes in #rstats. it works better than i expected

Linear cosine palettes – Notes from a data witch
Kind of a generative art thing, but mostly an attempt by the author to prove to herself that a she can write a short blog post without turning it into a goddamn monograph

In case you didn't know:

You can run your package unit tests with {testthat} in parallel with two simple steps (see testthat.r-lib.org/articles/par...):

tldr:
1. Add `Config/testthat/parallel: true` to DESCRIPTION.
2. Add `TESTTHAT_CPUS=8` to your .Renviron and restart R.

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

Ever wonder how an actuary becomes a data science educator? 🤔

Tune into the latest episode of The Test Set with @minecr.bsky.social. We discuss everything from her #RStats journey to her use of LLMs to give students feedback on their code.

Hi #rstats! Does anyone know of any good free online self-paced comprehensive R video courses for complete beginners? Ideally, with interactive exercises that would be automatically checked, and the ability to gain certificates. Thanks!
