Hey all, anyone fancy talking at an EdinbR session this season? We're looking to start again in Oct or Sep. #RStats #Edinburgh #Scotland #meetup #tech #DataScience

This new cheat sheet guides users on how to use OpenStreetMap data and related tools with R for: geocoding, routing, downloading base maps and datasets. You can download the PDF here: https://zenodo.org/records/20842874/files/cheatsheet_osm_r.pdf Many thanks […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

📍 Interesting early-stage project: RQGIS Console An R console integrated directly into QGIS -- letting you write and run R code inside QGIS with full access to your active project (layers, CRS, extent, and metadata). https://github.com/jsmendozap/rqgis #QGIS #RStats #GIS #Geocomputation #RSpatial

📄 New our preprint: Moving Beyond Spatial and Random Cross-Validation in Environmental Modelling: A Call for Prediction-Domain Adaptive Evaluation https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.13689v1 #SpatialStats #Ecology #MachineLearning

Writing up an overview of the whole @movingpandas ecosystem. I'm bound to forget something. but it's definitely time for an update to the old 2019 paper

Hey, #RStats folks, what's your take on the box package to organise the code inside a project? I've been using it a bit for a while: I put functions in an R folder similar to a package and then load them with box::use() instead of source(). https://klmr.me/box/

‘box’: Write Reusable, Composable and Modular R Code

A modern module system for R. Organise code into hierarchical, composable, reusable modules, and use it effortlessly across projects via a flexible, declarative dependency loading syntax.
