R 4.6.0 "Because it was There" is set for release on 24 April. @russhyde.bsky.social writes up the more interesting changes — %notin% in base R, neater character column summaries, and more. Full breakdown with code: www.jumpingrivers.com/blog/whats-n... #rstats #datascience #rprogramming

Very early #TidyTuesday for 2026 week 10 😂 Data: Cap-phrases, when someone says something is "likely", what probability do they actually mean? Code: github.com/rajodm/TidyT... #dataviz #rstats #ggplot2

These captchas just keep getting harder #rstats

ggannotate: interactively add annotations to your {ggplot2} plots by pointing and clicking github.com/MattCowgill/... #Rstats

Hey #rstats 👋 I’m preparing a revealjs slide about browser() and looking for a good GIF to illustrate the idea. Any suggestions?

I’m hiring! 🎉 I’m building out my team and looking for someone who enjoys working in R (tidyverse), is comfortable with Git, and is excited about data. 🤓 #rstats #tidyverse #datascience roche.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/roche-ext/jo...

The thing I didn’t know I needed — and it’s brilliant!

Prime numbers 2-4999, animated with ggplot2+gganimate. #Rstats code: gist.github.com/stephenturne...

Awesome!

Hey #Rstats! What is your favorite #tidyverse way to turn a logical into a factor? I'm using `factor(ifelse(x, "Yes", "No"))`, but it feels a bit ugly, and `fct_recode()` doesn't work on logicals.

Can't wait to test this one!

Still fascinated with #webR and its potential for teaching stats Here students can play (even from their phones) and find out themselves how the p-value depends on sample size pakillo.github.io/LM-GLM-GLMM-... #rstats

Salut tout le monde ! On cherche un·e stagiaire M2/ingé pour un projet R. Pas besoin de formation pointue en stats. À Gustave Roussy, près de Paris (métro 14). Le/la stagiaire apprendra plein de choses ! oncostat.github.io/internships_... N'hésitez pas à partager ou à me demander des précisions 😊

Wondering if you can outsource your data viz work to ChatGPT? 📊 I tested out a few different generative AI tools, giving them prompts to visualise two different data sets. If you're interested in the results, you can read them here: nrennie.rbind.io/blog/gen-ai-... #RStats #Python #DataViz #GenAI

When I see a report filled with p-values and no effect sizes, I worry. When I see model metrics and no baseline comparison, I worry. Statistics is more than math. It’s the discipline of contextual honesty. #DataScience #MachineLearning #AI #RStats

If doughnuts are coming back into fashion, let me bring this one back. #rstats #ShowYourStripes #ShowYourTorus

Really insightful post from Julie Tibshirani (spotted in LinkedIn, can't find on Bsky) reflecting on #rstats 's unique governance structure and what can be learned for other languages jtibs.substack.com/p/if-all-the...

By request: Same #rshiny app → native #electron desktop app workflow now on #Windows11 shinyelectron::export() → #rshinylive → installer → app.exe [Worth the Parallels license to record this from my Mac] Still no #rstats dependencies for end users. Living the cross-platform life (virtually).

💡 Tips wanted! #RStats You're working on a package 📦 and improving a function. What's your development workflow? I usually put a minimal example in a helper file, so every time I run `devtools::load_all()` it loads my changes and shows their effect. But I wonder if there's a cleaner way to do it...

Hey #Rstats! Just discovered `testthat::describe()`, it seems so much cleaner and more structured than `testthat::test_that()` for organizing tests🤩 But… why isn’t it more common? Even tidyverse packages barely use it. Am I missing something?

#RShiny devs, don't miss this post by Mike Page about an useful and simple tool to draft your apps! "Introducing shinydraw: a no-code tool for shiny wireframing" cynkra.com/blog/2025-05... #RStats

New unhinged #rstats rant about NSE just dropped: 🔗 kbodwin.github.io/paRticles/po... tl;dr - some cute (?) tricks for iterating over unquoted columns see below to skip the stream-of-consiousness blog and go straight to code snippets

The #rstats alignment chart - what's your ethical and moral persuasion?

New visualization tool alert! The vayr package version 1.0.0 is now on CRAN. It contains position adjustments for ggplot2 that help with overplotting in pleasing ways. My favorite is position_sunflower(). - install.packages("vayr") - alexandercoppock.com/vayr #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz

Hey #rstats, time for a poll! What's your go-to name for a folder that stores your saved plots? I use "plots", "graphs", "figures", … and I crave convergence 😩

When you say something is an assumption (e.g., linear regression assumes conditional normality) you need to specify what properties are actually being preserved with this assumption. 1/3

Decades from now, the Covid-19 pandemic will be visible in the historical data of nearly anything measurable today. Here’s an incomplete collection of charts that capture that break — across the economy, health care, education, work, family life and more.

Collider bias is the trickiest one of these—I use this example too: If the true relationship between niceness & appearance is zero but you only look at people you've dated (i.e. adjusted for that collider) you're missing a whole quadrant—the result is wrong and only valid for part of the population

#RStats francophones, les prochaines Rencontres R Les auront lieu du 19 mai au 21 mai à l'Université de Mons (UMONS): soumettez une communication aujourd'hui! rr2025.sciencesconf.org/resource/pag...

Extension de la deadline des soumissions aux Rencontres R 2025 : rr2025.sciencesconf.org Alors, si vous avez un #package R, si vous avez une #méthode #stat codée en R ou juste si vous appliquez les #programmes de R, il est encore temps de soumettre. L'abstract ne fait que deux pages en plus.

New R-hub blog post! "Lazy introduction to laziness in #RStats" by @frick.ws, @drmowinckels.io &me Read about lazy as in... 🦥 lazy evaluation 🦥 lazy database operation 🦥 LazyData 🦥 frugal file modifications 🦥 {lazytest} 🦥 quantifiers in regular expressions blog.r-hub.io/2025/02/13/l...

New release of rix on CRAN! rix generates Nix expressions which are then used by the Nix package manager to build reproducible #RStats development environments. Many new features in this release: 1/3

Hey #Rstats! Tired of manually adding @importFrom all over your 📦 #Rpackage? Say hello to {autoimport}, now on CRAN! 🚀 It parses your code and adds the necessary tags automatically, at the function or package level. Less typing, more coding! 🔥 github.com/DanChaltiel/...

{lintr} is so helpful! Here's a workflow suggestion: masalmon.eu/2024/08/28/l... #RStats

Je viens de soumettre un résumé pour les 11èmes Rencontres #RStats à Mons, en Belgique, du 19 au 21 mai 2025. 🇧🇪🐉 À bientôt ? rr2025.sciencesconf.org?lang=fr

How can you not love R 😂 #rstats

The M-opened vs M-closed problem is what keeps me up at night 😱 blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2023-0...

This is the best regex tutorial ever written. It doesn’t get much better than this 💪

This is one of the greatest presentation I've read this year! 🤩🤩I heard you could many things **without a server** using #quarto dashboards, but I was far from thinking there was so much. The presentation is also very easy to read and understand. I have to read more about crosstalk 📦 now.

Tidyplots lets you freely combine layers of information to generate custom visualizations 🤩 #rstats #dataviz #phd tidyplots.org

Working in your editor and want a quick peek at rstats bluesky? Here is the #rstats code I mentioned yesterday. This uses the bskyr 📦, retrieves the latest rstats posts from bluesky, ranks by likes, constructs a URL, and prints them to your console gist.github.com/jeremy-allen...

Mathematical art using modular arithmetic, #rstats code below. Change some numbers and see what happens! N=115 par(mar=rep(5,4)) set.seed(118) outer(-N:N,-N:N, \(x,y) ((x^4+y^4+x^2*y^2)%%53)%%23) |> image(asp=1,axes=F,col=sample(c("red","blue",rep(c("white","black"),5)))) #mathart #generativeart

Wrote up a lil #rstats opinion post based on an interesting discussion on here about where aes() should go in a ggplot. kbodwin.github.io/paRticles/po... (Useful, or did I just want to title a post "Move your aes"? You decide.)

It's pretty impressive how R ecosystem continues to advanced even in the last 4 years. The {epoxy} package released by @grrrck.xyz shows we take the already impressive {glue} package and super charge it with: 1) inline markup code 2) autocomplete 3) vectorize www.garrickadenbuie.com/project/epoxy/

🚀 Want to make your R code reproducible ? 👉 This post explains how to work with the #CESAB #R pkg rcompendium : bit.ly/4i1A6bn 🔑 Principles: 1️⃣ Organize files by conventions 2️⃣ Separate data, code, & results 3️⃣ Specify the computational environment Thx Nico Casajus for sharing this 🧙 ! 🧪🌍🌐 #rstats
