Andrew Heiss (@andrew.heiss.phd; 170/4/37; 2025-05-29): I’m on a podcast! I had a blast talking with @lucystats.bsky.social and @epiellie.bsky.social on @casualinfer.bsky.social! We cover all sorts of fun things: {marginaleffects}, defining estimands, fixed vs. random effects, & how to teach all this stats stuff in accessible ways #databs #EpiSky #rstats ↪
Crystal Lewis (@cghlewis.bsky.social; 50/2/13; 2025-05-30): Looking for examples of how to use #rstats tidyverse for common data wrangling purposes?
This wiki has lots of examples for things like naming, filtering, calculating, recoding, reordering, comparing, selecting, separating, and labeling variables.

Ben Harrap (@bharrap.bsky.social; 40/4/5; 2025-05-29): In today’s edition of Ben Actually Reads The Documentation, we’ve discovered that starts_with() accepts a vector of matches. As in:
iris |>
select(
starts_with(c(“Petal”, “Sepal”))
)
instead of
iris |>
select(
starts_with(“Petal”),
starts_with(“Sepal”)
)

Daniela Navarro (@djnavarro.net; 24/6/2; 2025-06-01): okay, fine i’ll own my sins. i’ve switched all the #rstats work on my personal machine over to positron and i like it. still missing some features i want but it feels like a nice blend between rstudio and vscode ↪
easystats (@easystats.bsky.social; 24/2/9; 2025-05-30): We’re happy to have an accompanying publication for another #rstats #easystats package published! Thanks to @vincentab.bsky.social and @tjmahr.com for reviewing the manuscript! ↪

Jeff Hackmeister (@jhackmeister.bsky.social; 13/0/2; 2025-06-01): After a couple of years of #rstats work, running regression models in python feels like putting a shirt on backwards. It gets the job done but just feels wrong ↪
Chris Brownlie (@bsky.chrisbrownlie.com; 12/0/6; 2025-05-30): this week in #rstats 🕺
lots of AI-related news, an update on everything rOpenSci, some spatial machine learning, and a relatively rare base R function…👀

Martine Jansen (@martinejansen.bsky.social; 10/1/5; 2025-05-31): A first today: I changed the citation style in my #rstats #Rmarkdown doc, and it was easy and it worked! Thanks to Nicolas Tierney’s “Rmarkdown for scientists” rmd4sci.njtierney.com/citing-artic… and github.com/citation-sty…. Save the csl code in a file in your R project and add a YAML line. 😎 ↪

René (@renedario.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy; 9/0/3; 2025-05-31): The bad thing about #RStats is that you lose practice with other tools. I tried making a chart in a spreadsheet and couldn’t figure out how to filter the data.
Had to go back to R. ↪
**** (@tiddlydump.bsky.social; 7/3/2; 2025-06-01): Anyone know why {lubridate} year(), month(), second() return numerics but quarter(), day(), hour(), minute() return integers?
I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

If you really care about having images line up perfectly with with the slides? use this #quarto revealjs template. It was inspired by xaringan in design
