Collapsible + expandable HTML tables with one dependency, baby’s first package #rstats Built with help from Claude

Top 40 New CRAN #RStats Packages: an idiosyncratic, unabashedly biased, time-constrained attempt to capture the depth and breadth of the new packages submitted to CRAN in a single month entirely without the use of AI: clearly unsustainable, but maybe entertaining and somewhat useful.

Just released mori 0.1.0 on CRAN — a new R package for shared memory across processes. Parallel R no longer has to mean duplicating your dataset in every worker's RAM. opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-04... 🧵 1/3

Look at how cool this is! 🌳Tarborist now tracks and tags invalidation (and potential invalidation) within your {targets} pipeline and actively updates as you work, so you can get a preview of what's actually going to run before you run tar_make()! #RStats GH: github.com/tylermorganw...

New blog post: Branded Figures and Tables in R and Python with Quarto. Style your figures and tables to match your brand automatically at render time, with light/dark mode support. mickael.canouil.fr/posts/2026-0... #Quarto #Python #RStats #Brand

New post. You built an ML model with {tidymodels} that you want automated in Dagster. Engineering's reply: "Sorry, we need this rewritten in Python to deploy." No more. With the {dagsterpipes} R package, you can run R code in Dagster with full observability. #rstats joekirincic.com/posts/use-r-...

Just learned about the {anvil} #rstats 📦, analogous to Jax. Write R code that gets JIT compiled and has easy autodiff. Seems promising for ML and Bayesian methods. r-xla.github.io/anvil/

I have a new blog post out today that I'm really excited about. I walk through how you can use Gradient Boosting to fit entire vectors of parameters for each observation, not just a single prediction. statmills.com/2026-04-06-g... #pydata #rstats

This was fun. A small page to track all the new R tooling that is popping up. #rstats novica.github.io/r-devs/

New blog post is up. Ever had to manage a bunch of R-based ETL pipelines and wanted a better way to maintain them? I wrote about how {S7} classes and generics can turn a pile of scripts into a more extensible, composable system. #rstats joekirincic.com/posts/this-r-script-could-ve-been-an-s7-class/

#Positron and #VScode #rstats folks who have muscle memory of creating reprexes from highlighted code in RStudio: I made an extension to do basically the same thing, with HTML preview and all: open-vsx.org/extension/je...

Same ICD codes. Same patient. Different risk profiles. Encounter-level comorbidity logic assumes ICD codes are re-reported every visit. They usually aren’t. medicalcoder handles this 📦install.packages("medicalcoder") #rstats #HealthInformatics #EHR #ClinicalResearch #RiskAdjustment #PublicHealth

Over the weekend, I started collecting/organizing a list of cool #rstats skills for LLMs at github.com/christopherk.... Please open an issue or PR in any awesome additions you see! Includes a section for helpful posts like @ivelasq3.bsky.social's⬇️

I rounded up a few Claude Skills for #RStats users. Huge thanks to the creators who developed them. They share Skills for everything from tidyverse code to brand.yml files to learning while using AI. Hope the list is useful, and please let me know what I missed! 🧡 rworks.dev/posts/claude...

#tidymodels now has its very first cheatsheet! "Preprocessing data with {recipes}" is now available in Web and PDF versions here: rstudio.github.io/cheatsheets/... #rstats #posit #rstudio

We live in a magical time for #dataviz. This map is just a static html page served on GitHub pages 🤯 It uses the incredible {pmtiles} #rstats package by @kylewalker.bsky.social to quickly filter through ~21M rows of data hosted on Cloudflare vehicletrends.github.io/hhi-map/

Josh Goldstein emailed me a nice tip for @rdatatable.bsky.social chaining: if we start a chained `data.table` operation inside a set of parens, we are no longer subject to the 'REPL constraint' and can keep each operation on a line. See ALT text. #rstats Now in the pdf at github.com/eddelbuettel...

#rstats I've been testing out `arf`, a new R console written in Rust. Early days, but a v. smooth experience so far. Much simpler to install and link from VS Code than radian, for example, with better features too. github.com/eitsupi/arf

Mood in minneapolis right now

I spent way too long on this package and ultimately had to pull back on some ambition. But the {fpa} package is on its way to CRAN. If you do lots of time intelligence functions in #rstats- this package comes in very handy as it provides sugar syntax for common needs usrbinr.codeberg.page/fpa/

Hi guys! I've spent the last 5 years building interactive reports for clients in RMarkdown and Quarto and looking at now creating Shiny apps. Curious what people would recommend as best practice frameworks, golem, rhino, or something else? #RStats #Shiny
