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
Today marks 50 years since John Chambers and Rick Becker presented a new project to colleagues at Bell Labs - an interactive environment that became the S language. For more details, see the #RStats blog entry "S at 50": blog.r-project.org/2026/05/05/s...

What is the value of a pick in the #NFLDraft? 📈 Carnegie Mellon researchers are tackling the question. A joint project from the NFL and CMU researchers Quang Nguyen and Ron Yurko explores the math behind how Draft value charts are built and which teams have the best track record for picks. #Data
