Stop trying to explain what a p-value is in a single sentence (ICYMI) statsepi.substack.com/p/no-you-can...

No, you can't explain what a p-value is with one sentence (Parts I, II)

But I'm going to try and do it in as few as possible. #fml

What up, slide nerds?! Wait, are you NOT a slide nerd? Do... do you want to be? Join the nerd side. We have #Quarto slide themes 🤓 And we have EMIL, which might be even better! Come hang out with us tomorrow on the Labbbb! #rstats

Do you dabble in Quarto, and really want to make slides that make people go, wow 😯 Learn from the amazing @emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social tomorrow, where he will demonstrate the ✨ art of slidecrafting✨ for creating reusable, custom slide themes. Hope to see you there! pos.it/dslab

Hello listeners! In our latest episode, we talked about how we'll learn things in an age where AI can maybe do anything. Calculators, philosophy, sailing, and more! Listen where you listen, e.g. here: open.spotify.com/episode/3Ch2...

oh yeeeaaaahhh that's the good stuff 3D roads generated from #OpenStreetMap data in #RStats with #rayshader and rendered with #rayrender

Here's a useful page with a **ton** of common tasks in #RStats, done with parallel syntax for tidyverse vs. data.table vs. base. arelbundock.com/posts/dt_tb_... #rdatatable #tidyverse

#rstats tidypolars 0.19.0 is available! tidypolars provides the tidyverse syntax while using polars for better performance. In this release: - support more functions, incl. the new %notin% operator - better consistency with tidyverse - bug fixes Changelog: www.tidypolars.etiennebacher.com/news/

📖 News about my book #CausalAnalysis! Many empirical examples are now also available in #Stata - in addition to #R and #Python. You can find the data and code files at 🔗 www.unifr.ch/appecon/en/r... A big thank you to Sarina Oberhänsli for translating the code from R to Stata! 🙏

I'm excited to announce a long overdue update to {tidyclust}! This release brings support for 3 new model types: DBSCAN, Gaussian mixture, and mean shift models. We also now support parallel processing with {future} and {mirai} opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-06... #rstats #tidymodels #dataBS

tidyclust 0.3.0

tidyclust 0.3.0 is now on CRAN. This release adds support for DBSCAN, Gaussian Mixtures, and Mean Shift Models, plus closer alignment with the tidymodels framework.

Did you know you can search for R packages by what they do, as opposed to just their names? Look! 👉🏼 rwarehouse.netlify.app @kylieainslie.bsky.social made The Warehouse for just this purpose. Send it to a new R programmer today ❤️ because it's the resource we all wish we'd had at some point #rstats

Highlights include: ✨ New tax_certainty() function 📊 Grouping support in tax_range_time()/strat() 📏 axis_geo() gains title & autofitting 🔧 Lots of under-the-hood improvements Website: palaeoverse.palaeoverse.org #rstats #palaeobiology #openscience

tutorizeR: Convert R Markdown or Quarto Content into Interactive Tutorials

Helps teachers convert existing '.Rmd' and '.qmd' teaching material into interactive tutorials for 'learnr' or 'quarto-live'. Conversion preserves narrative text, setup chunks, and major chunk options, supports teacher tags, and provides explicit validation and conversion reports. Output conventions follow 'learnr' as described by Aden-Buie et al. (2025) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.32614%2FCRAN.package.learnr" target="_top">doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.learnr</a>&gt;, 'quarto-live' as described by Stagg (2024) &lt;<a href="https://tidyverse.org/blog/2024/10/quarto-live-0-1-1/" target="_top">https://tidyverse.org/blog/2024/10/quarto-live-0-1-1/</a>&gt;, and R Markdown as described by Xie, Allaire and Grolemund (2018, ISBN:9781138359338).

"Git worktrees" is a pretty new term to me (I've only heard about them in the context of AI), so I'm very excited that @schloerke.com will join @libbyheeren.bsky.social and me tomorrow to show off how they work and how you can use them for agentic coding! Register here: pos.it/dslab

Regular reminder that there are alternatives to Google Search and Google Chrome. Some European alternatives are listed here: european-alternatives.eu/alternative-... (where you can also find alternatives for other tech products should you be looking for them)

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.

I'm both excited and a little terrified. It feels like a wave of AI-assisted tool rewrites is coming to bioinformatics whether we like it or not. We figured that the best we can do is to try to get ahead of it, so we wrote down some principles for doing it responsibly: rewrites.bio
