This is lovely. I think I may have seen it somewhere. But it is indeed a #map, perhaps trying to pass itself off as a pie chart because it shows a circular area divided by roads into sectors.

These graphs are lean & clean. Enough annotation to read the details, but not too much to interfere with the visual impression. 👍 (Is there an #rstats ggplot theme_pew() for this style?)

#rstats yhing I just learned: if you use Rmd w/ child docs & want something like TeX root (click knit in a child doc to compile the main doc), use this YAML header in the child: --- knit: (\(input, ...) rmarkdown::render('path/to/main.Rmd',...)) --- (I hated accidentally compiling child docs)

I did a little experiment with Claude, asking it to fit a classical model and a robust model and compare them. In my context it can't actually run them in and look at the output, so here is what it did: it tried to extract the p-values from the output and write `r ifelse()` conditionals in the text

Excited to share a new #rstats project: ggplot2 layer explorer #shiny app! My latest experiment in demystifying ggplot2 internals gives you interactive control over the rendering pipeline. I hope this helps make the internals more accessible and, most importantly, fun! 😄 github.com/yjunechoe/gg...
