Thanks to @anndooms.bsky.social I read about the Rousseeuw prize for Statistics. Congratulations to the laureates of 2026: Brian Ripley, Martin Maechler, Kurt Hornik, Peter Dalgaard and Luke Tierney! #rstats rousseeuwprize.org/2026

Hello #rstats and #tidyverse lovers, learners, and teachers. We just released 5 additional chapters of Hello Data Science book, bringing the total to 10 chapters & completing the Exploratory Data Analysis portion. More to come on modeling and inference. hellodata.science

Anyone a suggestion on how to reduce font size in an #rstats #tinytable notes? With `tinytable::style_tt(fontsize = 0.8)` the font size of the font in the table gets smaller, but not the notes. It is for in a #quarto to #typst. Thanks!

Day 12 of the #30DayChartChallenge, FlowingData Sankeyplot with gradient, made with #rstats , #ggplot2 and a function from my wisselstroom package. Where do havo graduates in the Netherlands continue their education, flows per profile and destination (type and sector). Data: duo.nl/open_onderwi...

Day 9 of the #30DayChartChallenge, Wealth Made with #rstats and #ggplot2. The chart is about drop out rates first year Dutch bachelor students in higher professional education related to parents income. Data from page 25 in www.onderwijsinspectie.nl/documenten/2....

Anyone a suggestion on how to have two different stylings for a level1 heading in a #quarto #revealjs presentation? I have one style now in my .scss, but sometimes I need a level 1 that is a bit different.

Unfortunately I dropped this nice #vvsor young statisticians mug. @vvsor.nl , do you have a suggestion how I can get a new one?

Day 4 of the #30DayChartChallenge, Slope Made with #rstats and #ggplot2. The chart is about exam pass rates with data from opendata.cbs.nl. The nice {geomtextpath} allows the legend to be part of the lines.

Day 3 of the #30DayChartChallenge, Mosaic Made with #rstats and #ggplot2. The data is from duo.nl/open_onderwi... . The plot describes what the next step in education is for graduates from secondary education in the Netherlands.

Day 2 of the #30DayChartChallenge, Pictogram Made with #rstats and #ggplot2. The data is from duo.nl/open_onderwi..., p 154. I used `{showtext}` so I could have the cap via unicode \uf19d in a `geom_text()`.

Day 1 of the #30DayChartChallenge, Part-to-Whole Made with #rstats and #ggplot2. The data is from www.ocwincijfers.nl/sectoren/pri... . I got the fonts the way I wanted thanks to www.cararthompson.com/posts/2024-0..., the nice retro color palette is from www.schemecolor.com/retro-blue-a....

We are responding to this call for evidence: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... Do you have concrete examples of the added value of #Rstats in the public or private sectors? Include the most important factors (risk, lock-in, security, innovation...) to assess the added value. Thanks!

Anyone a solution for how to generate in an #rstats #quarto doc a certain number of R chunks each making a table, each with their own label and caption? I am making a lot of docs, and each one has their own set of tables. I was thinking of a function that spits out multiple R chunks with options?

Statistical Rethinking 2026 Lecture B01 Multilevel Models is online. This is the first lecture of the "experienced" section, in which we start with multilevel models and venture into vast covariance spaces. Full lecture list still here: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students. I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

The first #AdventOfCode 2025 puzzle comes out in about five hours! What's your plan? What language(s?!) are you using? What's your IDE of choice and why is it Vim? Do you have a comfy chair? Did you check out the beta release of Lua 5.5? How much sleep have you gotten? Drinking enough water? 🌟 ❤️ 🎄

🎄 ANNOUNCEMENT: R Package Development Advent Calendar 2025! 🎄 Starting December 1st, I'm launching a 25-day journey through modern R package development. here's why you should follow along 🧵 #rstats #RPackageAdvent2025 #OpenSource

Fijne Pythagoras dag! 9-16-25 :pythagoras:

Want a large language model that never hallucinates? Easy: just get it to always print “I don’t know”, regardless of the input. If you find this solution is a bit unsatisfying, you’re not alone. But it hits on a crucial trade-off with learning machines and decision-making more generally. New post:

This will (hopefully :) ) make table polishing in #quarto #rstats #typst so much more easy: #tinytable in vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/vi...

Anyone an idea where I can find the source code of ardata.fr/ggiraph-book/ ? The github link on the website is dead. #ggplot2 #rstats #ggiraph. Thanks!

All three books I've co-authored are freely available online for non-commercial use: - #Bayesian Data Analysis, 3rd ed (aka BDA3) at stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/book/ - #Regression and Other Stories at avehtari.github.io/ROS-Examples/ - Active Statistics at avehtari.github.io/ActiveStatis...

That’s it I’m firing R because my results weren’t significant

Introducing {crosswordio} - an #rstats pkg to read/write/plot crosswords in "PUZ" format. https://github.com/coolbutuseless/crosswordio #RStats

#rstats #ggplot Revelation of the day: `geom_*()` and `stat_*()` are wrappers for `layer() ` with respectively a fixed geom or stat argument. Now `stat_*()` suddenly feels less complex. Thank you @cedricscherer.com and @yan-holtz.bsky.social for making www.ggplot2-uncharted.com

For a book I'm writing I want to print text in colors. #rstats #quarto This gist: gist.github.com/friendly/b2a... defines a colorize() function that can be used easily for HTML and LaTeX/PDF documents in .qmd and .rmd files.

Een vrouw die ik zeer bewonder zei ooit: toekomstdromen uitspreken vergroot de kans dat ze uitkomen. Nu dan. Ik zou dolgraag maatschappijkritische rijmpjes willen maken voor een kwaliteitskrant. Gerijmde columns, als het ware, zoals bijgevoegd voorbeeld. PS Het was @ionica.mathstodon.xyz.ap.brid.gy

Looks like #rstats {datapasta} will save a lot of time & typing. Nice!

Sometimes the goodreads book recommendations make me grin 😄 It would be interesting to know how many #rstats package book readers also read this one.

Starting to look like I might not be able to work at Harvard anymore due to recent funding cuts. If you know of any open statistical consulting positions that support remote work or are NYC-based, please reach out! 😅

The second edition of The Effect has been delayed a bit... because there were so many orders they had to switch to a bigger print run! Thank you everyone for your support, and check out the second edition here: www.routledge.com/The-Effect-A...

“I would like to cure brain cancer. I think that's not particularly controversial.” Be that as it may, the NIH terminated that scientist's grant. Here's a huge survey of the 2,500 grants that NIH has killed or delayed...so far. Gift link: nyti.ms/43Jz1yJ

A first today: I changed the citation style in my #rstats #Rmarkdown doc, and it was easy and it worked! Thanks to Nicolas Tierney's "Rmarkdown for scientists" rmd4sci.njtierney.com/citing-artic... and github.com/citation-sty.... Save the csl code in a file in your R project and add a YAML line. 😎
