I'd like to make positron look as much like RStudio as possible, do people have settings/configs that they feel approaches something like this? #rstats #positron

Speaking of which, is there an R / Quarto flowchart drawing system which doesn't suck? #Rstats

I’m using wf: christophertkenny.com/wf/ (Admittedly, I’m probably the only one using it because I wrote it)

A nice piece on the challenges of teaching in the age of LLMs.

dplyr 1.2.0 was released last week and since I use {dplyr} a lot in my work, I wanted to take some time to try some of the new functions. This post provides some supplemental examples of the new functions, beyond what is provided in the new Posit materials. #rstats cghlewis.com/blog/dplyr_u...

{ripper} dissects your #Quarto documents, extracting code blocks by language and leaving executable scripts behind. Supports #rstats, #python, #julia, and 13 other victims. For those who never stopped celebrating Halloween. 📚 quarto.thecoatlessprofessor.com/ripper/ 💻 github.com/coatless-qua...

New web app to make apaquarto documents (APA style via Quarto) wjschne.github.io/posts/2025-0... Direct link: wjschne.github.io/apa7maker/ #quarto #QuartoPub #rstats

Happy to announce ✨quarto-revealjs-editable✨ This fully supersedes the imagemover extension, as I back then didn't realize the potential. You can now also move, resize, change font size and alignment for text in your slides github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto #slidecrafting

Vibe-estimanding is my new favorite expression! A concise description of a widespread phenomenon in health science research.

Now on CRAN, ggdiagram is a #ggplot2 extension that draws diagrams programmatically in #Rstats. Allows for precise control in how objects, labels, and equations are placed in relation to each other. wjschne.github.io/ggdiagram/ar...

Consider the following DAG where both exposure and frailty have positive effects on pregnancy (P) and healthy child (Y). Say, I'm interested in the effect of the exposure on having healthy children in my population. #stats #causalsky #episky #statsky #causalinference

I've made my first R package {ciwidth}. It's nothing big, but it lets you calculate the sample size needed for obtaining a confidence interval for a mean or mean difference with a certain width with a given probability. Take a look here: github.com/snhansen/ciw... #rstats #statssky

I did update the figure a bit and added labels, but it probably works better as sequential slides in a presentation. If you want the code and the pptx just drop me a dm and I’ll send it all your way.

I've been playing with Quarto shortcodes, so here's a simple CV template that is easily customized using shortcodes and renders quickly/prettily using Typst: github.com/christopherk...

Our new work shows the associations between maternal health in pregnancy and autism are attributable to familial confounding. Comprehensive atlas of these associations (>230 dx) + results from sibling comparisons + paternal negative control (DK >1.1M) tinyurl.com/3y4kafu9 @naturemedicine.bsky.social

We're already six days into this year's Advent of Code. This is my sixth year participating and I'm having a lot of fun. I'll be posting my crude Python solutions to my GitHub: github.com/snhansen/adv... Want to join, then go visit adventofcode.com/2024 #adventofcode #python

This was my tenth(!) year building 25 days of puzzles for #AdventOfCode. You can solve them all for free! Most people write code to solve them, but you can solve them however you like. I hope they help people become better programmers. 🌟 The first puzzle comes out in two hours: adventofcode.com

Here is a 1-page summary for your wall This talk is based on our Christmas article from 2022 t.co/y4GVFmTOfs

With respect, this suggests quite a serious misunderstanding about why we randomise. We do this to ensure imbalances are random. Our analyses treat them as such, and ensure valid inference. The problem here is with the idea that point estimates are useful, rather than with randomisation.

Quarto 1.6 is out! 🎉 Download it here: quarto.org/docs/download/ Quarto 1.6 supports unified branding across formats, updates to RevealJS, a new shortcode to reorder content, a landscape page block, and more. Blog post: quarto.org/docs/blog/po...

To new users and followers: Here's a Shiny app showing the differences between three ways of including a continuous covariate in linear regression models. Feel free to use it in your teaching or elsewhere! #rstats #datascience #statssky #stats #epi #episky

In clinical research, you will often receive feedback on study design, stats, and/or data analysis from an editor or reviewer that is simply wrong. Here is a list of common "statistical myths" and references you can use to push back. discourse.datamethods.org/t/reference-...

With the recent influx of new users, I wanted to repost some of my Shiny apps that might be helpful to others. Feel free to use them in your teaching or other projects! #rstats #datascience #stats

New blog post! I helped build Idaho's official election results website (with #rstats and #quartopub) and we did some neat stuff to auto-generate hundreds of R chunks. Here's a guide about how to create tabsets and slides programmatically with inline knitr chunks www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/11...

A few months ago, I gave a workshop on “(Pretty) big data wrangling with DuckDB and Polars”. Slides, notebooks etc. are all available here: grantmcdermott.com/duckdb-polars/ #EconSky

📊When teaching or giving a talk, do you like presenting plots step by step, revealing e.g. one group at a time? This is often useful for walking through complex results. I made a R package that makes it extremely easy to do this! ggreveal: Reveal a ggplot incrementally #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

When converting RevealJS .html slides made with Quarto to .pdf using the {pagedown} package (or Chrome in general), code chunks are indented by a large margin. Is there a way to remove this indentation? #rstats #quartopub

What software do you use to make teaching videos? I'm looking for something simple that can capture my screen and overlay audio. Some editing capabilities would be nice. I've used Camtasia before, but not sure if there is something better out there. #StatsSky #EpiSky

New {paletteer} release dropped over the weekend! 159 color palettes have been added from vangogh, ButterflyColors, MoMAColors, PrettyCols, waRhol, MexBrewer, and ltc. Bringing the total to 2759 palettes from 75 different packages 🎨 #rstats github.com/EmilHvitfeld...

A meandering post, even for me, on rAnDoM cOnFoUnDiNg. Will probably regret the title but hey, there it is. tpmorris.substack.com/p/oxymoronic...

On the uses and abuses of regression models: a call for reform of statistical practice and teaching arxiv.org/abs/2309.06668

Is there an R equivalent of Stata's "ciwidth" command that accounts for sampling variability in the confidence interval? #rstats #statssky

I made a Shiny app to showcase the differences between using a linear fit, a categorical fit and a (restricted cubic) spline fit under various data generating mechanisms. The app is available at: apps.biostat.au.dk/stefan/splin... Feel free to use it in your teaching #rstats #datascience #statssky

My students often struggle with selection and measurement error bias in linear regression models, so I have made two Shiny apps to help visualize these concepts: apps.biostat.au.dk/stefan/selec... apps.biostat.au.dk/stefan/measu... Feel free to use them in your teaching #rstats #datascience #stats
