Positioning text labels in scatter plots is not always easy with #ggplot2, even with clever extensions like ggrepel. A new release of my #rstats package ggpointgrid aims to add another string to our bow here. To show what I mean I wrote a little blog post with […] [Original post on archaeo.social]

Seen Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) in some of the tidymodels documentation and in Kuhn's books, but never really looked into them. As a model, I don't find them particularly interesting, but I'll say this, the {earth} vignettes are some of the best I've read. (not linked on […]
