My R+AI Conf talk is now available on YouTube: youtu.be/828KuEORQdg?... I talked about my R package {brandthis} that helps you getting started with theming your quarto outputs and shiny apps by quickly generating brand.yml files and color palettes for R and Python plots #RStats

Thanks @rconsortium.bsky.social for organizing the R + AI conference. The slides for my talk are available here: dru.quarto.pub/brandthis/#/... #RStats

Can you believe this is made with {ambiorix} + tailwind? #RStats

createBranding app is now available with the {brandthis} R package: github.com/durraniu/bra... Use LLM to generate brand.yml -> Review and iterate on results -> Create color palettes for plots Credit goes to the brand.yml app in {bslib}. Thanks @grrrck.xyz #RStats

Did the chat interface use to be pipeable in {ellmer}? I saw this in a talk on the @landeranalytics.com channel: youtu.be/OLXp7I7xmtU?... But could not find the functions add_model, add_params, etc. in {ellmer} docs. #RStats @hadley.nz

{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

TIL that brand.yml works for closeread outputs! #RStats

{brandthis} R package is almost ready with functions for: * Generating _brand.yml * Color scale suggestions from {ggsci} and {paletteer} * Generating discrete, sequential, and diverging color palettes from the _brand.yml color palette #RStats

My useR! 2025 talk on Web APIs with R is now available on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPMs... I showed the basic workflow of {httr2} and how to create fictional stories by calling LLM provider APIs. #RStats

Interesting useR! 2025 talk about ensemble modeling packages that do **everything** for you: youtu.be/csGcnGJ2t0U?... Nice example of AutoML. Curious to know what you think #RStats

Experimented with creating art pieces with {artpack} using {axolotr} agents (autoeda example as a starting point). You either get beautiful results or the agents fail miserably. #RStats

{ragnar} creates a store using duckdb. Where would you store this db (size > 5 MB) if you want your package to use it to retrieve relevant chunks? Put it on S3? #RStats

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...

Does the `pip install <pkg>` command work on python REPL also or is it just the #positron console that supports it? #python

{brandthis} progress: Generate _brand.yml and see the results in the live app. Still work-in-progress. Building on the brand.yml app from {bslib}. #rstats

Work-in-progress #RStats package {brandthis} that enables you to efficiently create themes and color scales from personal/company branding. Uses {ragnar}, {ellmer}, {ggsci} and other R packages.

There's also {raylibr} that enables you to make snake and DOOM games among others: github.com/jeroenjansse... #rstats

Working on some games to explain the usage of Drift Diffusion Model (DDM) in stroop and braking tasks. This is for a work-in-progress website. Using JS and shiny. #RStats

Great talk about {renv} by @pipinghotdata.com at #positconf. Very practical strategies for restoring and updating project state. Has anyone also used rv (a2-ai.github.io/rv-docs/)? In my little experience, it is very much like uv for python and looks more helpful than {renv}. #rstats

I'm collecting the links to #positconf talks here: github.com/durraniu/pos... Feel free to add to the list. #rstats

#rstats #statistics I've released my new open source book, "Powered by Linear Algebra: the role of matrices and vector space in data science," at matloff.github.io/WackyLinearA.... Turns the classic LA course on its head! Still proves the theorems, but with a deep emphasis on applications.

TidierErrors.jl now has an #rstats counterpart in {errbud}, your local LLM-powered tool for decrypting error messages in R, thanks to @randy.pub. No more settling for “object of type `builtin` is not subsettable” It even looks to see what packages are loaded! github.com/rdboyes/errbud

#rstats folks, what do you think of the idea of a package that generates _brand.yml, color palettes, ggplot2 color/fill scales, themes, and quarto based website skeleton, all created with a user prompt (optionally image uploads)? The goal is to provide consistent branding in your projects.

Causal inference and ML is really cool. The workshop at #useR2025 was packed with so many new concepts for me. Hope to dig more soon. #rstats

I had a great time attending the Arrow and DuckDB workshop at #useR2025. A useful thing that you can do is to meaningfully partition your "big" data into parquet files using arrow. Question for #rstats: Does it make sense to load dozens or more parquet files as duckdb tables (workshop showed 1)?

Time to convert this into an LLM powered snippet using {chores} by @simonpcouch.com. #useR2025 #rstats
