The Pink Book of #MarginalEffects (aka Model to Meaning) ships next week and I've got a backlog of Zoolander memes.

Hope you're hungry for some spam in your timeline.

Yes, it's a QR decomposition, a bespoke one modified by Ross from LINPACK fortran code.

The key difference from LINPACK (in src/appl/dqrdc2.f) is that it pivots only when really needed, so that computing sequential "this beta adjusted for the previous ones" is more straightforward.

this is my very favourite comment from the R code base: github.com/r-devel/r-sv... (this more than 28 years ago - I didn't feel like doing the archaeology to trace the code back through a file reorganization that was done in 1998 ...)

{tinyplot} 0.3.0 is out! 🚨

It's a lightweight #Rstats 📦 to draw beautiful and complex plots, using an ultra-simple and concise syntax.

This is a massive release! @gmcd.bsky.social @zeileis.org and I worked hard to add tons of new themes and plot types.

Check it out!
