We're happy to announce our new #rstats package: lorax. If you fit tree-based models, lorax enables conversion to the party package's format (for making nice tree diagrams) and has methods to compute which features were used, the number of terminal nodes, etc. opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-07...

Introducing lorax: Speaking for the Tree-Based Models

lorax is a new R package that characterizes fitted tree- and rule-based models: extract their decision rules, see which predictors they actually use, and convert trees for plotting with partykit.

Great paper on the history of the strike zone & ABS

ABS works in baseball coz MLB recognized that if u only care about optimizing call accuracy, the tech would destroy the sport. They spent 7 years finding a solution that balance accuracy, entertainment, speed, and the art of baseball. (we wrote a FAccT paper on this: arxiv.org/abs/2605.16237)
