Congratulations to my student, Maggie Ma, for publishing her first #rstats package {ggincerta} on CRAN πŸ₯³ Spatial uncertainty visualisation (bivariate, pixel, exceedance, glyph), like {Vizumap}, but fully integrated with ggplot2 – a much simpler API with all the advantages of the ggplot2 system.

eli knaap (@knaaptime.com; 0/1/0; 2025-11-19): as part of this journey, i also learned that knitr (and thus quarto, as a side effect) can automatically translate interactive graphics (e.g. leaflet maps) into static images via webshot2 (github.com/rstudio/webs…), which is just awesome and i wish the jupyter engine could pull that off too β†ͺ

Robert (Bob) Kubinec (@rmkubinec.bsky.social; 66/5/9; 2025-11-16): My #rstats cheat code for today is the binom.confint function in the binom package that will spit out 12 different ways of calculating a CI for a proportion.

Also, this is why you use R for statistics…

(and of course the correct CI method is bayes 😎) β†ͺ
