New blog post on the right and wrong way to rake a survey's data to estimates from another survey. As an example, it shows what can go wrong when we rake data from a poll to benchmark data from Pew's National Public Opinion Reference Survey. www.practicalsignificance.com/posts/npors-...

Super excited to share what I've learned picking up Positron as a long-time RStudio user! 💙

ellmer (for #RStats) and chatlas (for #Python) integrate LLMs directly into your code. They also support local LLMs (like #Ollama) so you can run models on your own machine, in case you have sensitive data, a lack of API access, or cost restrictions. Check out how here! posit.co/blog/setting...

Hello there, #rstats, I know y'all are enjoying the last weeks of summer and I am just reminding you that the deadline for submissions for the @rconsortium.bsky.social #R+AI conference is September 5th. Please take a moment and share your proposal with us! rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...
