Libby Heeren (@libbyheeren.bsky.social; 56/7/4; 2026-05-23): I discovered my love for statistics/ #rstats in my early 30s
Long before THAT was a love for music, words, & ✨animation✨
I illustrated these 3 frames from Tomm Moore’s Song of the Sea in #Procreate as a study (I’ll put a timelapse vid below)
If I wasn’t in data, I’d be in art & music. You? #notAI ↪

*currently a bit hacky but technically does work

My Categorical Data Analysis course is now done for 2026.
Such a great group of students, and I want to highlight some of their capstone project work, loosely described as: “a research paper or project extending the scope of CDA in some way…”

When Using OLS Hurts 😩
I replicated a high-profile study on racial bias in tenure decisions and show the authors weakened their own findings by using OLS instead of ordered beta regression 🤯.
Use ordered beta and live your best life 👍

Luis D. Verde Arregoitia (@liomys.mx; 22/0/3; 2026-05-23): 💻 RStudio addins now run in Positron through the command palette, including the addins from my annotater package (despite relying heavily on the rstudioapi pkg for modifying open files!)
Nice!

Just got my hardcopy of the mulgar book: MULtivariate Graphical Analysis in R @visnut.bsky.social & Ursula Laa
I want to share my delight in seeing work I admire become a lovely CRC book-book, R Series.
Even more admirable: show what dynamic, interactive graphics can do in print form. ↪

I’m working on some generators for threading/treadling/tie-ups to take some of the early labor out of weaving design.

Gavin Klorfine’s final project: now live as a vignette in {vcdExtra} 📦
“Steps Toward Tidy Categorical Data Analysis” implements 6 new functions for collapsing levels and converting between data forms — fills a real gap in the tidy #CDA toolkit.
