Jörn Alexander Quent (@jaquent.bsky.social; 0/0/0; 2026-02-11): If you want to give you figures different names (fig1.svg etc.) but still want to show them in the document without always typing them out you can also use this:

```{r, echo = FALSE}
knitr::include_graphics(plot_filename)
```


Heather Turner :rstats: (@heathrturnr.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy; 0/1/0; 2026-02-09): @eliocamp going via markdown seems an unnecessary complication in this case. Have you tried using the knitr integration? https://docs.overleaf.com/integrations-and-add-ons/r-code-knitr

Thus you can use the full @quarto.org eco system and benefits.

Jan Broder Engler (@jbengler.de; 25/1/3; 2026-02-07): You can save #tidyplots in multiple formats by piping through multiple rounds of save_plot() 🤩

Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 23/1/2; 2026-02-06): Ok, getting pretty excited for this. Can’t WAIT to show you how you can do (almost!) your entire GH collab workflow (issues, PRs, Reviews) directly in Positron. Isabella and I will collab in realtime and show you the whole process. We’ll even show resolving merge conflicts if we have time! #rstats


terence (@tterence.bsky.social; 22/2/6; 2026-02-06): The Amazon basin. Been wanting to do this for a while and finally managed to fix the errors I was getting.

I rather like how it turned out.

Georgios Karamanis (@karaman.is; 21/0/1; 2026-02-08): This week’s #TidyTuesday was about edible plants. Not sure if this plot makes much sense, but I had fun experimenting with bitmap fonts and color gradients for the plant names and temperature ranges.

terence (@tterence.bsky.social; 20/1/6; 2026-02-06): The Ganges–Brahmaputra basin. Have another version that includes even more rivers but that’s taking forever.

Ed Hagen (@edhagen.net; 13/0/0; 2026-02-08): Here’s a quick way using #rstats to create a copy of a data frame where all the variables have the same distributions but no relationships to other variables, useful for checking that your modeling code works while also helping you resist the temptation to tweak the model, overfitting the data:


Konsta Happonen (@konsta.happonen.eu; 11/7/3; 2026-02-07): Lighting the Bayesian bat signal: #stan #rstats #statssky

A latent construct C is informed by multiple variables X like so:

X₁, X₂ ~ C

I want to use C to also predict Y,

Y ~ C

but without C being informed by Y. What’s the cleanest way to implement this in Stan?


Jan Broder Engler (@jbengler.de; 11/0/2; 2026-02-06): This is how you can adjust the plot size in #tidyplots 🔥

All measures are in mm.

Christos Argyropoulos MD, PhD, FASN 🇺🇸 0kale/acc (@christosargyrop.bsky.social; 7/0/1; 2026-02-08): I decided to write a paper (a technical note in #rstats) using one of the frontier models available through github copilot.
Everything will be documented ofc, but the draft of the intro is not promising: numerous subtle mistakes that are easily missed if you don’t know the topic.


Physalia-courses@Online (@physaliacourses.bsky.social; 7/0/3; 2026-02-07): 🚀 New edition, new programme!
We’ve improved our course with @philipleftwich.bsky.social adding @eivimeycook.bsky.social as co-instructor 🎉
