I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

Sebastian Carl (@mrcaseb.nflverse.com; 5/1/0; 2025-03-24): Random #rstats finding today. I have gt tables rendering external images in pkgdown articles and building the articles took forever. It turned out to be due to knitr/Rmd. Switch to Quarto and it runs in a few seconds!

Garrick Aden-Buie (@grrrck.xyz; 46/3/5; 2025-03-21): 🎉 Happy to share that we just released {chromote} v0.5.0, an #RStats package for remotely driving the Chrome browser. New in this release: chromote can now download and use any version of Chrome or chrome-headless-shell! Plus a few bug fixes for new Chrome versions. shiny.posit.co/blog/posts/c…


Giles (@gdeejay.bsky.social; 45/2/4; 2025-03-21): Hey #rstats:

I just want to say you’re awesome.

No matter how stupid my question, you’ve all piled on with helpful suggestions and advice.

11/10 community.

Joe Chou (@incidentalfindings.org; 23/1/2; 2025-03-21): Quarto blog fail — kept on pushing to GitHub, re-rendering, re-building, would NOT deploy.

Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 22/1/4; 2025-03-21): The layers control and legends are much improved in the latest release of {mapgl}, the package that brings the power of @mapbox.com and @maplibre.org to #rstats:

Updates include:


Kyle Walker (@kylewalker.bsky.social; 21/2/1; 2025-03-22): Story maps can help you pitch clients, drive marketing campaigns, tell data-driven stories to readers, and much more.

And they’re available to you in #rstats with the {mapgl} R package.

EconMaett (@econmaett.bsky.social; 11/2/2; 2025-03-22): A clever proposal that could easily be implemented in #RStats. Make your time series estimation robust to outliers by randomly removing a subset of observations imputing them. Use cross-validation to find the optimal fraction of missings.
