We've made a blog post about a new major version of the #rstats tune package! Two main changes: parallel processing frameworks and the ability to tune postprocessors. tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11...

The detectCores() apocalypse is creeping up on us 👻🐛 As more people are getting access to 128+ CPU cores, code spinning up parallel cluster with detectCores() workers fails - not enough #RStats connections available Friends, do *not* default to detectCores(), bc www.jottr.org/2022/12/05/a...

There are a lot of great posts out there that aren't very highly ranked. Don't rely on bluesky to find you great content; you can find it on your own! Here's how: #Rstats via @northeasternu.bsky.social's Storybench www.storybench.org/how-to-analy...

Oh. My. Gosh. Data Science Lab was SO FUN today! Just casually sharing screens to walk through settings live was incredible. I'm gonna start a thread here of some of the stuff we shared/learned together as a community. Great stuff was shared by all! #databs #rstats #python 🧵 1/n

Day 2: Lines #30DayMapChallenge Sticking with walks of NZ, this time plotting the Te Araroa Trail, a 3000km hike that goes from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island. #rstats jenrichmond.github.io/maps/2025-11...

{brandthis} is ready to install. Try it and let me know if anything breaks: github.com/durraniu/bra... Here's an example site that uses the generated _brand.yml and color palettes: dru.quarto.pub/brandthis-de... #RStats

#rstats tidypolars 0.15.0 is available! tidypolars provides the tidyverse syntax while using polars for efficient computations. This release: - more support for string and date func. - two func. to export partitioned output - bug fixes Changelog: www.tidypolars.etiennebacher.com/news/#tidypo...

I can see {targets} evolving past tar_assign to an actual new language syntax that's just R (its successor) I bet some are already thinking about this #rstats it's been an inexorable series of improvs and the foundation's so solid This is the edge, actual reproducibility and scaling

#rstats people I'm sure I remember someone had recently developed a package or at least a hack for getting around the fact that geom_ribbon can't map the fill aesthetic to a variable (continuous or not), but now I can't find it, can anyone point me to it?

Come along to my slightly silly and hopefully informative talk on how data go from some scribbles on a paper questionnaire to a nice, clean dataset Thanks to the ARDC for having me! #databs #rstats 📅 Nov 5 at 12pm AEDT 📍 Online webinar 🔗 www.eventbrite.com.au/e/where-do-d...

Fun fact: you can host PMTiles on GitHub pages, so if you are on Windows you can move the creation to a GH Actions runner. 👇🏻Toy #rstats code that scrapes @oceantracking.bsky.social receiver locations, converts them to PMTiles using sf/GDAL, and pops it up on GH Pages for use elsewhere.

#rstats I'm looking for tidy tools for categorical / frequency data. Data sets in frequency form or case form can be tidy, but have different model & graphics syntax. What about tables, matrices and arrays, often so convenient frequency data? Does anything exist? Seems like a big tidy gap.

I am giving 2 talks abt making your data analysis outputs into polished products with the power of #RStats and #Python pkgs + my pkg {brandthis}. Talk 1: DevFest 2025. Register here: wedevfest.com Talk 2: R+AI 2025 organized by R Consortium. Register here: rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...

💡 Came across this nice tool today: 🎨 qualpal for algorithmically choosing maximally distinct colors under certain restrictions #dataviz JOSS paper, online tool, R package #rstats joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21...

#RStats question: Is there a package or site that provides alternative, more explanatory help files? I swear a project like this exists, perhaps targeted to beginning R users, maybe centered around common data analysis functions, but I can't find it...

Countries with more economic inequality have higher homicide rates. But for any given country, the relationship isn't as strong. This poses a multilevel modelling problem that it's easy to trip over. I tripped, righted (I hope), and blogged about it with #rstats. freerangestats.info/blog/2025/10...

Shoutout to @libbyheeren.bsky.social for getting so many great #rstats conversations going I very much appreciate the community building!

👀 I have a latenight confession: I was never a twitter person, which means I was never an #rstats twitter person. I benefitted from the wisdom there, but was never a part of it. Were you? What did I miss? What made it great? Gimme your eulogy for rstats twitter so that I can mourn with you #databs

This post by @andrew.heiss.phd about automatically generating markdown that contains code that needs to be run is super interesting. It will take me a bit of time to wrap my head around how to do this, but this should be very useful for teaching, www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/11...

I mostly followed the 2nd edition of "R Packages" by @hadleywickham @jennybryan with a few minor tweaks to account for the differences between GitHub and Bitbucket/Jira https://r-pkgs.org/release.html I highly recommend this book for anyone who is writing or maintaining R code! #rstats #statsodon

version 0.7-0 of my R package `bayesImageS' is now available on CRAN for Linux and macOS (Windows binaries are still being built and should be available soon) The main change is a reduction in the console output for the exchange algorithm. There were also […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

Amazing quote! I also feel a permanent fascination by the world of *open* source/science/books/courses. The best teachers I had designed open-book exams ❤️ #OpenScience #foss #rstats Let me suggest a beautiful and extremely relevant talk on this by @drob.bsky.social 🔗 posit.co/resources/vi...

Ross Ihaka used “for each y, find the closest value in x” to illustrate a core #rstats issue: R has no scalar data types.

Great post by @andrew.heiss.phd on animating #rstats {dplyr} operations www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/04...

I am learning how to make a regular old #rstats #shiny app into a "progressive web app"—one of those websites you can "install" on your phone or desktop and runs full-screen. It is *not that hard*, but also very much not documented, so I feel like this is going to need to be a blog post eventually.

#rstats what do folks do when converting from raster to terra with saved data objects? active bindings is a possibility github.com/ropensci/gra... interested in any perspectives, I don't want to change the entire way the package works (I'm not the maintainer, just toying with ideas)

I'm going to be giving an #rstats talk about functions in about 45 minutes - it's online! The talk is called: "Practical Functions: Practically Magic", but could potentially be retitled, "Up and Down the Ladder of Abstraction". Join at: www.meetup.com/slc-rug/even...

A month or two ago someone posted a link to their really amazing set of LLM system instructions for writing #rstats code with good tidy/NSE patterns. (They were also good for humans!) Does anyone recall who or where that was?

How cool is this?! Positron opens a HTML color picker when typing a HTML color in your script. #RStats #dataviz

mirai 2.5.1 released. mirai.r-lib.org This is a patch release, but brings a new synchronous mode: `daemons(sync = TRUE)` runs your code in the same process. This means you can now drop into a browser session *within* your mirai #rstats code! p.s. amazing hex stickers made by someone @posit.co!!

recently learned the sQuote() and dQuote() R functions > cat("distinguish plain", sQuote("single"), "and", dQuote("double"), "quotes") distinguish plain ‘single’ and “double” quotes > cat("distinguish between 'single' and \"double\" quotes") distinguish between 'single' and "double" quotes #RStats

I'd like my ggplot to blend in to the background slide colour - I thought that setting background or paper to be transparent would solve this, but it doesn't seem to - am I going about this the right way? See an example here: github.com/njtierney/gg...

Introducing {pmtiles}: an #rstats package to create, view, and interact with PMTiles. PMTiles is one of the most exciting geospatial innovations in recent years. Map tiles are stored & served from a single file, making massive geospatial data visualization widely accessible.

That’s me asking a question that appears to be causing everyone else in the audience to have an existential crisis 🥲 Thanks #WOMBAT2025! I had a great time listening to cool speakers and meeting many nice, passionate and impressive people. See ya next time 👋 #rstats

{tinytable} 0.14.0 for #RStats makes it super easy to draw tables in html, tex, docx, typ, md & png. There are only a few functions to learn, but don't be fooled! Small 📦s can still be powerful. Check out the new gallery page for fun case studies. vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/vi...

🎨 Theming got a huge overhaul with the latest #ggplot2 release. In honour of that @teunbrand.bsky.social has written a comprehensive deep-dive into styling your plots, covering both old and new functionality. Grab a coffee and dive in! #rstats
