It was so so good to work with Monash Uni students on their first steps in C++ programming for R applications! 🚀✨ They made it! And now, they're ready to code! 🤖👾 arp.numbat.space/week11/ #rstats #rcpp #armadillo

I stumbled upon a thread on numeric instability (h/t @djnavarro.net also saw @jdlong.cerebralmastication.com @cameronpat.bsky.social @stephenjwild.bsky.social @dansimpson61.bsky.social around that thread), and promised an example with numeric instability on the same machine, same routine. So 1/3

Mastering typefaces and fonts in #rstats has always been harder than it should. I have tried to collect much of my relevant knowledge in this deep-dive blog post so you can spend your time picking the right typeface instead of cursing at the computer

Since #RStats is promoting @jennybryan.bsky.social‘s talks; "What they forgot to teach you about R" is a must-read. I don’t know how I ever managed without it. rstats.wtf

I finally checked out marginaleffects.com after the good things @dingdingpeng.the100.ci said. Maybe it is trust issues, but I am now like, "ok, what is the catch?". This is just too good to be true 😅

At this point I’m willing to pay someone to tell me that I’m correctly using streams with dorng. Anyone? 😅

I love being a largely self-taught programmer! 🛤️💻 But it can be a bit lonely and uncertain on what to learn next.

What's your favorite resource for learning for loops in #rstats? ebooks preferred, but blogs and other resources are cool, too.

I completely re-worked my course "Introduction to Bayesian statistics with brms" and taught it for the 1st time this week. It is meant as a tutorial for ecologists, but should be general enough for other sciences as well github.com/benjamin-ros... #stats #Rstats #brms #Stan #Bayesian

Hey #StatsSky, what are you favorite papers to cite when you need to justify something that is obvious (I once had a reviewer ask we justify the use of logistic regression on a binary outcome) or when you need to push-back on silly reviewer requests (e.g., asking for p-values in table 1)?

A nice summary on how van der Kolk rigged the game is available here. Spoiler: there is not much left after removing the misrepresentations.
