Has anyone made a gamified version of either drawing DAGs or selecting the correct covariate set from a DAG for the estimand of interest? I'm thinking of something like ggplot battles www.ggplotbattles.dev #rstats

Any hacky #rstats workaround for the {gt} package? I want the interactive search feature to include columns that are hidden. I tried making a px(0) width column instead of hiding it, no luck. Gimme your hacky ideas!

Just migrated my #rstats blog from blogdown/hugodown to quarto using claude! Was quite straightforward, if a bit iterative. Have a look at the new (nearly identical) website here: www.njtierney.com

I recently gave a talk, "The value in teaching is not the content it’s the teacher" (njtierney.github.io/talk-teacher...) at "Essential skills for statistics leadership in consultancy and research" My argument was: your time is time higher value than content, so put your content up for free #rstats

Was great to cross paths with @njtierney.bsky.social @emitanaka.org (virtually) @aidybarnett.bsky.social (virtually) @analyticaledge.bsky.social And please 🙏🏼 @ tag (below) anyone else that was there as I'd love to stayed connected with everyone but searching @s is ... 🫣🤫

I really think the "AI echo-hype chamber" is A Thing. Example: You talk to an AI about Your Idea and it is your hype-person: AI: "Yeah! That's a great idea, and the thing is NO ONE ELSE is doing it, you're really leading the field" Your idea: A pizza slicer holster. (It's still a good idea)

What are the current views on extending #rstats data.frames with S7 vs S3? I like the idea of attributes on my data frames, so I could do: dat@attribute_1 Instead of an accessor: attribute_1(dat) But then you need to do: dat@data to get the df, unless I define a `$` method?

I'd like to make positron look as much like RStudio as possible, do people have settings/configs that they feel approaches something like this? #rstats #positron

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

I am SO looking forward to this event! Come along!

📮You've got mail! 💌 We are thrilled to invite you to "Where do R packages live?" a discussion with folks from the #R foundation, #CRAN #Bioconductor #R-universe and @posit.co. Let's learn from our panel about the ins-and-outs of where you might want to create a home for your R software 📦 1/n

Have #rstats folks run into this issue before: ``` Check: re-building of vignette outputs, Result: NOTE Re-building vignettes had CPU time 4.1 times elapsed time ``` I'm starting to go mildly insane trying to fix! If you happen to have a solution, let me know! at forum.posit.co/t/cpu-time-x...

Doing something a bit different this year. I’m writing blog posts that have nothing to do with code or corporate. Just a guy posting whatever he wants to his own website because that’s how the internet should be. So here’s a post about painting Warhammer! mdneuzerling.com/post/paintin...

After 9 years, I thought it was time for another major release of the forecast package for #rstats! New modelling functions, missing values now handled in ETS models, and a more consistent interface. robjhyndman.com/hyndsight/fo...

Before I go and try building this myself, is there a general colour palette assessment shiny app in #rstats? I love the apps in colorspace.r-forge.r-project.org/articles/hcl... by @zeileis.org et al. But I want to provide my own vectors of colours, and get the lovely assessment/example plots etc.

Is there an #rstats best practices for including a shiny app in an R package? I see mastering-shiny.org/scaling-pack... by @hadley.nz and github.com/daattali/ddpcr by Dean Attali (couldn't find his handle!) - just curious on understanding best practices, bunding data, app, and the www folder etc.

📢 Announcement: We are sunsetting the bookdown.org public hosting service. If you have #RStats docs on bookdown.org, please migrate them to a new platform by January 31, 2026, to maintain control over your content. (We recommend Posit Connect Cloud!) Learn more: posit.co/blog/bookdown-org-sunset

#rstats It is with profound sadness I heard that my long-time friend and colleague, John Fox passed away this week. He was the author of {car}, {effects}, {Rcmdr}, ... and numerous influential books. I will miss him greatly. www.john-fox.ca

I remember John Fox as one of the most kind R Foundation #rstats members (ca. 2006-2023) giving wise and kind words often. The 1-1 interview he held with several of us, resulting in a useR!2008 pres and the article journal.r-project.org/articles/RJ-... It is sad to miss him. May he rest in peace!

I don't know how I've missed it because it's *right on the documentation home page*, but if you use {glue} for nice string interpolation in #rstats and you have {stringr} loaded (likely through the tidyverse), you can use str_glue() instead of glue::glue() or loading library(glue) glue.tidyverse.org

Okay, so anyone here joining R Dev Day AUS (21st Nov 2025)? #rstats #rdevday

I'm reminded of how handy the usethis::browse_*() functions are and thought I'd remind people they exist. Choose from a menu of links or go straight to CRAN or GitHub. #rstats

R dev friends - I am updating a package that implements an analytical method. The update will mean a fundamental change in the outputs compared to the current version of the pkg (but is based on consult with experts).

#rstats fam -- is there any way to create something this in R? eg you can create the graphs separately and then stitch together it together like below?

OK nothing like proclaiming in a public space and then quickly finding solution 🤪 If anyone else is stuck on this, sf seems to not work with plotly. If you put your coords in as a df, and use geom_path to plot with geom_tile it renders (and saves output correctly with .png) #rstats soln next comment

Jo Potts@analyticaledge.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Ok #rstats #shiny hive mind. When rendering geom_tile to a plotly in shiny, and press the download button the resulting .png is missing the tiles? What gives! Any advice gratefully received (These data are fake!)

An #rstats mystery. Or maybe more #ggplot2. These histograms are generated with the exact same code and data. What has changed from R 4.5.1 to 4.5.2 that caused this change?

new #dplyr filtering function who dis 😍 meet filter_out()! 👍 GO PUT A THUMBS UP ON DAVIS'S TIDYUP THINGY ON GITHUB TO SHARE MY ENTHUSIASMMMM!! #rstats #databs And, you know, provide your thoughts on this newly-proposed function if you have them 😌

Davis Vaughan@davisvaughan.bsky.social · 9mo ago

We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions! We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family: - `filter()` to keep rows - `filter_out()` to drop rows - `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers Read more and leave feedback here: github.com/tidyverse/ti...
