Hey #rstats, Are there any good tricks for deciding on sensible dimensions for a plot when saving it? Or does everyone just tweak the dimensions in ggsave() until it looks right?

Just published! 🎉 My new blog post tackles the mighty `apply()` function in R. Demystify `MARGIN` and master operations from matrices to 5D neuroimaging data. Say goodbye to loops! 🧠📊 drmo.site/k40xD5 #RStats #DataScience #Neuroimaging

Happy Halloween to all who celebrate. Hope you and/or your kids get some nice candy and fun times tonight! Here's a silly little post on making neon ghosts in #rstats with #ggplot2 drmowinckels.io/blog/2025/ne...

💫 Next week rOpenSci Community Call! Graceful Internet Packages with Salix Dubois, Tan Ho & Matthias Grenié 📆Thursday, 06 November 2025, 15:00 UTC Information+How to join+find your local time: ropensci.org/commcalls/gr... Please share with your contacts! We look forward to seeing you! #RStats

Macs have a GPU to do fast matrix operations. Statistics involves lots of matrix operations. R is a language for statistics... hughjonesd.github.io/Rmlx #Rstats #mlx @rstats.bsky.social

If you're brand new to Positron and want to know what AI capabilities it has, the call starting RIGHT NOW is for you (but don't worry, they get recorded!): events.zoom.us/ev/Ajss5j9Ve... #rstats #python #databs

For someone whose head explodes every time she deals with OAuth, I sure do maintain a lot of #rstats code that deals with it. Why? Because so many things are accessible through APIs and there's just so much to benefit from automating things.

It’s been a little overshadowed by the slightly unexpected mental health issues that hit me very hard yesterday afternoon, but for what it’s worth here’s the GAMLSS regression post I’ve been working on for the past month #rstats blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2025-0...

Today I got to vote at home. Given my illness, setting aside energy for voting would be hard, despite being ever more important. But i live in a country where when you are ill, you can register to vote from home. Today two women came, and with a locked box, I could cast my vote.

ATTENTION #rladies #rstats - @jonthegeek.com NEEDS HELP!! Awesome community initiatives like #TidyTuesday don't just happen and many hands make light work. There are functions in the `tidytuesdayR` package make it easy to curate a dataset jenrichmond.github.io/tidytuesday/...

THANK you so much for all your likes and shares this week. It has been super fun! I would love to connect with people who doing cool things in data, PLEASE follow me at @jenrichmondphd.bsky.social Check out my website jenrichmond.github.io and Linkedin www.linkedin.com/in/jenrichmo...

Good tips from @drmowinckels.io re how to leverage your github profile to showcase your skills. Also highly recommend Abigail Haddad's github related positconf talk... www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-bP... Have you seen some cool github profiles in the wild? Add inspo links to the thread below...

By wife request, my pet project 'Doughnamo' now also has a page to help you create a flour mix of a certain extraction grade given the flours you have at hand! doughnamo.site/extraction/ This is a very fun project to learn some new skills for me, and I hope others enjoy #sourdough #baking #flour

What a great kickoff to #useR2025! A keynote by @hadley.nz, a poster session, and an #R-Ladies+ reception. Great job by the organizers here at Duke.

This year's keynote by #dataviz whizz Nicola Rennie will explore the creative and technical aspects of designing visualisations that clearly convey data stories. #DataScience #OpenSource #BusinessAnalytics #DataDrivenDecisions #RStats

PSA for #Rstats from the R NEWS RSS stream: Let's all cite the new DOI for the R manuals.

Introducing my new #rstats package {kitchensink} Not sure what the right model to fit is? Should you allow random intercepts, slopes, both? What do Bayesian methods say? Just call {kitchensink::throw} to fit every possible model and see how your results differ!

It's my birthday, and unlike last year, I'm not bedridden all day. Just had a lovely time on our patio with good food and dessert, my wife and my cat. ❤️ Let's all hope for an even better ones next year! #birthday #dessert #pride

Made a little Hexagon with excess materials to have our water mirror on so its not straight on the patio. Here being inspected by our resident work Inspector, Sølvi the cat. #hexagon #garden #diy

The ggplot2 #rstats package was released on the same day as the Sopranos finale. Coincidence? Almost definitely

Oslo Pride have made an amazing video called "Trygg" (translates to Safe). It's a masterpiece showing what the rainbow flag means for so many of us, it shows us we are safe among you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVep...

With so many LLMs available to help you write #RStats code, how do you choose the right one? We put a handful of models to the test using the vitals package, our framework for robust LLM evaluation. Check out the analysis on the Posit Blog! posit.co/blog/r-llm-e...

I don't think I ever realised how unique and amazing #theGoldenGirls was. A series about 4 women living together, talking about menopause, sexuality, disease, friendship everything. Like. They are allowed sexuality. They talk about taboo subjects. All with humour and sincerity.

I dont know what I'd use this for, but the name and hex alone are just brilliang :chefs kiss:

Did you know that if you meet me in person at one of the conferences I'm at this year YOU can get a tiny Catharsis Cat sticker to take home with you. In the middle of the night you might hear whispers like "how are we defining that variable?" or "how good do we think this evidence is?"

I think I have enough psychologists following me here to maybe get @yabellini.bsky.social some resources on the topic of language aquisition?

I've been quite quiet of late. Been enough just dealing with life at the moment, but hope to get back to you all soon! ❤️ Trying to enjoy a little sun each day. #longcovid #postcovid

The latest dev version of the {ellmer} #RStats 📦has functions to list available large language models. Some results also have pricing info. New functions start with models_: models_anthropic(), models_openai(), models_ollama() etc. Install with pak::pak("tidyverse/ellmer") #GenAI

Slowly trying to restart a project i had to abandon when i got sick. I had to just leave a complete refactoring of an #rstats package right in the middle of it, and it's not been the best to pick up again. #Git diff helps, but without commits I have no idea what the purpose was. 🤯

The new release of RStudio prints errors, warnings and messages in different colours. That's a great improvement! I teach introductory #Rstats a lot, and students *always* think messages are errors. Hopefully this will help.
