In a post on X Dada_6 showed a picture of an empty room, and suggested the AI prompt: “Fill this room with what you know about me.” I gave Codex the empty room. It came back with my DREAM ROOM: Minard and Cheysson on the walls, R on the desk, Palmer penguins on the ceiling, ... #dataviz

1/6 permute 0.10-0 is on CRAN! This R package lets you shuffle data while respecting the structure of your study. Here are four short examples of what’s new. #RStats install.packages("permute") cran.r-project.org/package=perm...

Excited to teach with this today! Hypothesis testing with simulations with {infer} with #rstats (I made this for my teaching demo for my interview here at GU-Q back in February and evidentally it worked lol)

Andrew Heiss@andrew.heiss.phd · 9mo ago

I just whipped up this little #QuartoPub site last week that demonstrates how I teach p-values/hyp-testing through simulation both with live OJS and with #rstats, and I think it's super neat! It has examples for diff-in-means, diff-in-props, and regression slopes nullworlds.andrewheiss.com #statsky

That's OK. They've mostly all voted via Elmer
