Last week we released dplyr 1.2.0, but we left off something VERY important 🙂 `dplyr::if_else()` and `dplyr::case_when()` are now up to 30x faster and use 10x less memory! We dive into how we achieved these numbers in this new #rstats post! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

For more than a year I have been working on a brand new Jupyter Notebook editor for Positron. This is a ground-up build of a new Jupyter Notebook experience built to leverage all the knowledge and tools Posit/Positron brings to the data science table. 🧵#jupyter

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited! - `filter_out()` for dropping rows - `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats! tidyverse.org/blog/2026/02...

The hexagon here is priceless 😎 taf-society.github.io/caretForecast/ #rstats #timeseries

Tomorrow at the Data Science Lab 🧪 we are hearing from the amazing @theotheredgar.bsky.social about the {mall} package: Run Natural Language Processing against your #RStats tibbles or #Python Polars DataFrames for sentiment analysis, text summaries, and more! Join us at 12 pm ET: pos.it/dslab

Using neural networks in R is still not obsolete in 2026 https://joshuamarie.com/posts/15-nn-r/ #rstats #datascience

I sent 200 pull requests using Claude Code and wrote about the experience. It's pretty wild! For dplyr releases, we send a PR any time we break an #rstats package. This release advances a lot of deprecated functions, triggering issues in many old packages! blog.davisvaughan.com/posts/2026-0...

We are excited to see that xgboost recently had a big CRAN release! We have worked hard on the tidymodels team to make sure you all have a smooth transition. Please yet us know if you are experiencing any issues with the releases tidyverse.org/blog/2025/12... #rstats #tidymodels

~~ making sense of academic statistics ~~ i wrote about the confusing relationship between statistics and data analysis, and also about how statistics relates to science #statistics #rstats #datascience www.alexpghayes.com/post/making-...

Smoothed ROC Curves, Calculus and Curvature https://rworks.dev/posts/roc-and-differential-geometry/ #rstats #datascience

I'm excited to announce the newest release of {tidypredict}! This release brings for standardization to outputs, faster trees for parsing and prediction, and glmnet support tidyverse.org/blog/2025/12... #rstats #tidymodels

We’ve released two new tidymodels #rstats packages for feature selection: filter and important. tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11...

I’m not aware of an Arrow or Parquet format, but there is the ONNX format (see onnx.ai). Depending on the model, you could try Posit’s orbital project, which translates your model to SQL (see here orbital.tidymodels.org).

Jarl: just another R linter https://r-consortium.org/posts/jarl-just-another-r-linter/ #rstats #datascience

We are excited to share a few updates happening in tidymodels in this blog post! tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11...

🤖 Introducción a #Tidymodels Aprendé a usar tidymodels para crear y evaluar modelos de #MachineLearning en #RStats Con Francisco Cardozo y Edgar Ruiz 📅 1 Dic, 18:00–20:00 UTC-3 – Online 💵 Estudiantes USD 5 · Académicos USD 10 · Industria USD 15 🔗 www.eventbrite.com.ar/e/1962543491... #LatinR2025

We're hiring an open-source #python developer focused on modeling APIs! tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11... #numpy #scipy #scikitlearn

My #rstats talk for the R+AI conference, titled "Analyzing #LLM Evaluations," starts at 1:40 EST today. rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...

I just gave a 20m overview of the #TabPFN deep learning model at R/Pharma. The slides are at: topepo.github.io/2025-r-pharma/ (link to Quarto files on the second slide)

We've made a blog post about a new major version of the #rstats tune package! Two main changes: parallel processing frameworks and the ability to tune postprocessors. tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11...

I'm excited to share side::kick(), an experimental open-source coding agent for RStudio built entirely in R. It can interact with your files, communicate with your active #rstats session, and run code. Check it out: github.com/simonpcouch/...

I'm excited to share a new version of the Air formatter for #rstats, with support for tabular formatting! Super useful with `tibble::tribble()` calls or `data.table::fcase()`. It's currently experimental as we're looking to get feedback on the feature, so please let us know what you think.

Before #NoKings in Hartford CT...

Great news!

Shannon's slides are always so unbelievably clear and helpful!!! github.com/shannonpileg... I'm having "Ohhhhh that's what that means" moments every 10 seconds here. #positconf2025

I'm all in on @topepo.bsky.social and co's new {important} and other variable importance/feature selection tools in tidymodels! #rstats

Once again, @davisvaughan.bsky.social's extrachecks have saved me from a likely CRAN rejection for an upcoming #RStats package submission. Thanks Davis! github.com/DavisVaughan...

Simon Wood, the GOAT of generalized additive models & creator of the mgcv #rstats package, has an Annual Review of Statistics essay on GAMs, available open access #statssky #mlsky www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

ML success ≠ Kaggle leaderboard. The real world rewards: - Clear explanations - Thoughtful metrics - Collaboration with domain experts A 0.01 lift in F1 score won’t save you if no one understands your model. #DataSciene #MachineLearning #AI #RStats

Announcing a new blog series on LLMs from @veerle.hypebright.nl! In Part 2, “Talking to LLMs: From Prompt to Response”, we get hands-on with LLM-powered apps. This guide is for #Python & #RStats users who want to go beyond the basics. Check it out here: shiny.posit.co/blog/posts/s...

Slides from my #rstats talk “Measuring LLM Effectiveness” at #dataconfAI with @simonpcouch.com. topepo.github.io/2025_NYR/ Video in about a month. Great conference!

In working on an eval for an experimental tidymodels AI assistant, I realized that today's frontier LLMs know much more about #rstats tidymodels than I thought. www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2025-08...

It's a lot of fun! Everyone gets something out of it. Plus, @davisvaughan.bsky.social always finds a great barista!
