Better late than never — here’s my #TidyTuesday submission from last week's data!

I built a #shiny app with #plotly to explore the @xkcd.com color survey results in both 🌈 RGB and HSV space🌈.

Whoa—my book is up for pre-order!

The book presents an ultra-simple and powerful workflow to make sense of ± any model you fit

The web version will stay free forever and my proceeds go to charity.

At the risk of stretching the imagination beyond the limits of human endurance, the reader is asked to pretend that the author is interested in splines #rstats

No, I do not care about splines. But I am trying to learn about GAMLSS regression, and yes, it is to this dark place that this topic has taken me

Ever stared at a table of regression coefficients & wondered what you're doing with your life?

Very excited to share this gentle introduction to another way of making sense of statistical models (w @vincentab.bsky.social)

Lil’ Muncher (official name lol) update:
1) LM abandoned his post at 50% consumption but
2) Found a friend, LM2
3) And many more 😵‍💫

Consumption rates have become exponential and sadly all (visible) Munch Bunchers had to be evicted.

Little muncher < 24 hrs later:

1) still on the same lead (! I was surprised by this!)
2) leaf consumption at 50%

Yes!
All these questions and tests, just to obfuscate the unity of the general linear model of which most are special cases.
Want to run a statistical test but unsure where to start? This blog post from @BitesizeBio is a great place to start!

#rstats So chuffed! I printed the first PDF copy of my book to see what it might look like in print! It will be printed in full color!

Visualizing Multivariate Data and Models in R

On the whole, looks good, but lots of tweaking to do.
It weighs in at ~440 pgs., so perhaps some cutting needed.

This plot has more than one *You had one job* kind of energy. ✨️

The prominent one, is using the same y-axis scale for both Median Home Price & Real Weekly Wages.

Anyway, gently dropping my attempt to visualize the y-axis scaling mismatch: darakhshannehal.quarto.pub/scrollytelli... :)

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable.

For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.
