Totally get that! Wish we had stricter privacy laws in the US!

I’ll check this when I can! Thanks!

What do I not know about Dropbox??

We can’t share from our OneDrive to external users without explicitly getting them whitelisted at their professional domain… that’s the only reason I’m still using Dropbox.

WHOA I just discovered the kbd shortcode in #QuartoPub, which automatically creates an OS-specific <kbd> element, You can specify different OSes and it'll show them in an HTML title element, or expand them in print formats - documentation here: quarto.org/docs/authori...

It seems to not work:
Error:

1. └─rstudioapi::selectFile(...)

#rstats friends, do you know if there is a comparable command in Positron for selectFile() that works in RStudio?

Thanks for sharing this!

Looks super cool! I’ll have to check this out soon!

Not particularly but Bayesian methods have kept coming up as I’ve used ChatGPT to explore ideas. Looking to better understand the techniques.

Will this workshop be solely related to economics or can the methods be applied to other fields (e.g., education)?

Data Cleaning IS Analysis, Not Grunt Work Also, most data cleaning articles suck

I got introduced to @randyau.com's 'Data Cleaning IS Analysis, Not Grunt Work' post during the #dataBS Conf this week: www.counting-stuff.com/data-cleanin... . I just finished--it was a great read.

Here are some quotes and thoughts I'm walking away with 👇

1/9 #RStats

I’m currently looking at using student score information to build individual and group reports. This is what I’ve thought about using targets specifically.

Thanks! It seems to make a lot of sense theoretically but I’ve not quite taken the time to figure it out. I’ve been hopping around on various projects and need to slow down and focus on trying this out with some of my reporting workflows I’m doing. — also interested in looking into pointblank

If you take a look into it, let me know what you think! I started my first real steps into it yesterday.

🤞

Not exactly related, but do you use the targets package for your package or other work? I’m starting to dabble with it.

I’d love to see this when you’re finished!

I think it depends on the audience/goals of the course. I remember taking a course that went through similar algorithms & I hated it. I also didn’t really have proper context of where the algorithms were useful & how, though. I now wish I had that context to appreciate the course better at the time.

Automate the creation of google documents for class Automate the creation of google documents for class - auto_google_docs.R

Here's a little #rstats script I wrote to automate creating Google docs for my students for an assignment. The idea is that the history in the Google doc will help secure the integrity of the assignment by discouraging gen AI use.

It is something I’m working on for work. I’ll share but want to make sure sure everything is right with my code and such first.

I’m looking at some demographic data of AP computer science participation by gender and FRL status in KY. And wow oh wow! The gaps are HUGE!

#rstats #advancedplacement #gifted #gtchat

Yes - meaning uneven time intervals. I don’t have a need to use this right now but your post made me think of time scales (e.g., www.math.unl.edu/~apeterson1/...) and how they might be used in this type of work.

Large deviations of Markov chains with multiple time-scales For Markov processes evolving on multiple time-scales a combination of large component scalings and averaging of rapid fluctuations can lead to useful…

Makes me wonder if there is a time scale equivalent model 🤔

I did find this with a quick search www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Any packages implementing something like this already? #rstats

Just added @posit.co Conf 2026 to the list of conferences. Let us know if we've missed any! #rstats

My University has decided to close the #Statistics department along with several others. The public comment form opened up today: apc.unl.edu/fall-2025-bu...

Please feel free to explain how problematic it is to close a department teaching #datascience #rstats #python in this day and age.

Oh nice! Thanks! I’ll take a look at that and see about using RAG with it.

I’m going to have to stop following @bigbookofr.com… they post nonstop and ALL of the books are ones I want to read. My reading list is getting toooooo long from them alone! 🤣😂

But for real, thanks for all the recos!

#rstats

I agree 100%!
