R Consortium
@rconsortium.bsky.social
The central mission of the R Consortium is to support to the R Foundation and key organizations developing, maintaining, distributing R software through the identification, development and implementation of infrastructure projects.
🎉 The R Consortium ISC awarded 6 new technical grants ($37,000) in its second 2026 round: R benchmarking, help page translation, Argentina census data, R Journal publishing, a Kubernetes client, and GeoArrow spatial computing. r-consortium.org/posts/r-cons... #rstats
The full R+AI 2026 schedule is up! Nov 10-11. 100% online. Keynotes, talks, lightning talks, a workshop, and a tutorial. A taste: statistical thinking when AI writes the code, agents in R, private AI for sensitive data, and shipping R models to production. rconsortium.github.io/RplusAI_webs...
You don't have to be a C programmer to contribute to R. R Core members Simon Urbanek, Kurt Hornik, and Heather Turner explain how to report bugs, propose features, improve docs/translations, join an R Dev Day, or submit a patch. r-consortium.org/posts/how-do... #rstats #opensource #RConsortium
A pharmacometric fit can take minutes to weeks. nlmixr2save 0.2.0, now on CRAN, keeps it readable and skips the rerun when nothing changed. A fit is the saved result of estimating a drug model against observed data. r-consortium.org/posts/nlmixr... #RStats #Pharmacometrics
