#rstats So chuffed! I printed the first PDF copy of my book to see what it might look like in print! It will be printed in full color! Visualizing Multivariate Data and Models in R On the whole, looks good, but lots of tweaking to do. It weighs in at ~440 pgs., so perhaps some cutting needed.

Sharon Machlis (@smachlis.bsky.social; 13/0/5; 2025-08-13): The {huxtable} #RStats 📦 is for creating text tables. Features include:
“* Export to LaTeX, HTML, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Powerpoint, RTF and Markdown

Thomas Lumley (@tslumley.bsky.social; 2/0/0; 2025-08-16): IIRC Yihui mentioned in his Ihaka Lecture that litedown did but knitr didn’t because he hadn’t realized it was easy ↪

Avilinha (@avilinha.bsky.social; 2/2/0; 2025-08-16): litedown (from yihui) allows for modifying the order of execution of chunks [ yihui.org/litedown/#se… ]… i thought knitr also allowed, but I am probably mistaken… ↪

Thomas Lumley (@tslumley.bsky.social; 2/2/0; 2025-08-16): Yeah, that is a problem. Sweave with noweb allowed it, but knitr/rmarkdown doesn’t. Tony Rossini’s “literate data analysis” has been edged out by reproducibility and parametrisable report generation, and it didn’t have to be. ↪

جدول خوشگل تو یه خط! توی rmarkdown!

میتونی هر جدول و با یه خط کد مرتب و زیبا کنی.
کافیه از تابع kable تو پکیج knitr استفاده کنی.

library(knitr)
df=head(mtcars)
kable(df)

خروجی یه جدول خوانا و شکیل که مستقیم تو گزارش یا html نمایش داده میشه.

Mitchell O’Hara-Wild (@mitchelloharawild.com; 51/0/10; 2025-08-10): Day 1 at #useR2025 was a blast! It’s awesome meeting new #rstats users and catching up with familiar faces.

I was amazed to see the hex-sticker map of North Carolina, made with code I wrote for useR! 2018 in Australia. See how maps like this are made in R here: mitchelloharawild.com/blog/user-20… ↪

Mitchell O’Hara-Wild (@mitchelloharawild.com; 42/5/10; 2025-08-10): My day 1 #useR2025 highlight was the Positron class, I’m officially a convert now. 🤓

Why?
🐇 Positron is fast!
⌨️ RStudio keybindings
🎨 Command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) to find any IDE feature
🏡 Remote-SSH runs code on my home server, anywhere!
🤖 The Positron Assistant integration is seamless

Johannes B. Gruber (@jbgruber.bsky.social; 31/2/5; 2025-08-08): Random reminder that the #rstats 📦 {rio} exists and can import and export basically every file format with rio::import()/rio::export() ↪

Kelly Bodwin (@kellybodwin.com; 29/0/8; 2025-08-09): Welp, {chores} by @simonpcouch.com is an immediate install for sure.

Basically it’s {usethis} plus llm bundled into RStudio/Positron key encoding.

Excited!!! 🧹🧺

Kelly Bodwin (@kellybodwin.com; 25/0/3; 2025-08-09): “I believe #rstats is an orchestrator. It’s the language that binds your data to all the other tools.”

(+ bonus silly AI illustration just because I can!) ↪

Kelly Bodwin (@kellybodwin.com; 21/3/5; 2025-08-09): This morning at #useR2025, some nice insights from Simon Urbanek about the ways #rstats is optimized for different goals than a general-purpose programming language.

Always a special treat to hear from R Core members! 🥰

Some of my favorite takeaways…

#!/usr/bin/env Rscript (@randvegan.bsky.social; 20/1/5; 2025-08-08): Finally used the niche but exceptionally helpful num_range() as a tidy select verb.

Very powerful and very cool
