Built a small experiment to render plots inline inside the #rstats console using terminal graphics. It's basically taking a nativeRaster and displaying it directly in the terminal (Sixel / Kitty / etc.). For reference, similar ideas already exist in packages like terminalgraphics and rsixel.

29 years of #rstats community knowledge was sitting in hard-to-search pipermail archives. So I built a more modern home for it. Introducing the R Mailing List Archives: 631,000+ messages from 32 lists, fully searchable and available as open data. r-mailing-lists.thecoatlessprofessor.com

Very happy to see Wasm gaining traction as a low barrier to entry alternative for programming thanks to the massive efforts by @quantstack.bsky.social 🎉 We're collecting Wasm resources for bioinformatics and beyond at wasmodic.github.io

A small generative animation made in #rstats using #ggplot2 and my experimental packages, playing with polar lines, hue rotation, and shader-style deformations.

#rstats 4.5.3 "Reassured Reassurer" scheduled for March 11. Full schedule on developer.r-project.org (or the svn if you're impatient.) This should be the wrap-up release for the 4.5 series.

Hi, I’m this week’s curator, Josi! I‘m a PhD student in statistical genetics 🧬 and use #RStats to do #SEM. I dabble in #DataViz and recently wrote my first #Rpackage. My hobbies are reading #Fantasy books 📚 and #maximalism. You may catch me at a conference matching my outfit to my poster 🤓🧜🏽‍♀️ #rladies

R4R is a tool for creating a reproducible environment from a dynamic program trace, from our lab in Prague. From a R script/notebook, it generates a Docker image that contains everything to run the R code and reproduce the results. Try it out! Also with an article at ACM REP 2025

#RStats When i was looking at some of the perf in quickr readme, i was thinking oh these tails are R's garbage collection pauses, the R-to-C (LLM enabled) rabbit hole i went in makes the pauses worse because it is really R to R's C API and sometimes calling into R via Rf_eval :D

I love R for everything statistics, but I've always been a little jealous of statisticians using SPSS Complex Samples or SAS SURVEYSELECT to design their samples. So I decided to build samplyr, a tidy and pipe-friendly grammar for survey sampling design in #rstats. dickoa.gitlab.io/samplyr/inde...

Feb. update to the LLM+R guide 💪 8 new packages including: code review, predictive modeling, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, HuggingFace integration, Gemini CLI companion, a CLI coding agent written in R🤯 ,and more! available in English 🇱🇷 and Spanish 🇲🇽 luisdva.github.io/llmsr-book/ #rstats

#tinycc based #RStats #C #Transpiler, only 4x slower than #{quickr} for the convolution benchmark ! 2-3x faster than naive #C + marshaling. #tinycc transpilation will have an obvious advantage since it can always fallback when transpiling and use `Rf_lang3` since it has access to R's C runtime !

#Rstats #HPC gurus Is there a package for mixed precision arithmetic that covers most of the exotic new floating points or one needs specialized ML package from the r-xla organization like tengen github.com/r-xla/tengen

First thing to do when you open a #Rstats project in #codex webapp, copy paste the r2u installation docs github.com/eddelbuettel... and tell it to write #Rstats scripts for R package dev instead of snake crap (they RL perl out this model for some unknown reason)

#RStats #Statsky Any references and packages out there on statistical inference around binary outcomes for whom some outcome have no measurement error but the other has ? Should i just use linear models and get over it ?

For those of us R-users who are working with/on #dnanexus (specifically the Our Future Health TRE), I've written a small #rstats package to interact with their `dx` utility and submit jobs (among other things): github.com/comp-med/r-o...

#Rstats to avoid if/else and switch death in this project, a functional and centralized (reviewable) definition of the rules for future improvements, i thought that #{lambda.r} package's (by Brian Lee Yung Rowe) pattern matching would be great github.com/zatonovo/lam...

#RStats the comparison results with #{quickr} is expected since tinycc is not an optimizing compiler like gfortran/flang, but still since you don t need an additional compiler at runtime and you can iterate (more segfault :D) very fast ! (no windows support for now/never)

Happy to release builder: a preprocessor for #rstats. You get a build step with macros, conditionals, directives, preflight, etc. along with new language features like fstrings, a deconstructor, and more. github.com/devOpifex/bu...

I decided to write a paper (a technical note in #rstats) using one of the frontier models available through github copilot. Everything will be documented ofc, but the draft of the intro is not promising: numerous subtle mistakes that are easily missed if you don't know the topic.

For our recent package releases, I’ve been using a lightweight, AI-friendly R workflow built around `littler` and 4 new tinyverse-inspired development packages we released today! #rstats #tinyverse #ClaudeCode cornball.ai/posts/tinyve...

Any #rstats folks interested in testing out a package for SQL linting in R workflows? I made a package that wraps SQLFluff into R with reticulate. I've tried it on a few machines I own but would appreciate some experimentation before I try to send it to CRAN. github.com/brendensm/sq...
