If github desktop is wrong i don't want to be right

In the past I've used the DALEX explain_tidymodels / model_parts as well (mainly from www.tmwr.org/explain).

From my (very limited) usage thus far of these new tidymodels packages, I'd say the biggest benefit is the easy tie in with feature selection recipe steps.

Certainly no need to change.

I'm all in on @topepo.bsky.social and co's new {important} and other variable importance/feature selection tools in tidymodels! #rstats

Kf2 was a really pretty move!

As a college student in LA I feel that and empathize greatly with you😭

Which repo would you like the issue in?

With bigrquerystorage downloaded it's about twice as slow for me (21.53 sec vs 10.83 sec)

I tried it and didn't notice any speed-up. Might have to try again.

Am really liking it

Volleyball Statistics for Irvine and Stanford's 2025 MVB season

I had the idea to add distributions to my volleyball summary tables today. Thanks to @richmeister.bsky.social's gt, @mjskay.com's ggdist, and @themockup.blog's gtExtras packages! Took awhile but got there eventually!

Yeah &juliet is wonderful, very fun time.

Which show? Just saw Maybe Happy Ending this weekend!

Fighting the good fight.

I took a python class in the fall at my university which taught pandas. As a fervent R user, I hated it and started learning polars. At end of the course, I was talking with the professor about switching to Polars. Unfortunately, in 2025, I agree that you can’t teach just polars in an intro course.

A stacked bar graph with different sources of funding with gia taking up the largest bit. The graph peaks at 2007 with a value of around 145 million pounds before falling back to ~80 million pounds in the year 2023.

This week's #tidytuesday shows how different British Library Funding has changed over time. #rstats

I honestly have worked best just writing most notes in apple notes app, and i take class notes on physical paper (because I know I won't look at them years later). I am a huge fan of Zotero though for annotating and keeping important sources of info.

These changes rock.

TidyTuesday featuring Purple, Green, Brown, Pink, Blue "waffles" of different hexes. Most of the guesses are accurate but some seem a bit humorously incorrect.

Better late than never to analyze the biggest pink fan in the #tidytuesday dataset! Very colorful week which I appreciated. Used the fun waffle package. #rstats
