Hive mind, please help me out!

I need a more informative and explicit subtitle for my upcoming #RStats book "Model to Meaning"

The premise is that analysts should often transform coefficient estimates into more meaningful / interpretable quantities like predictions, risk differences, slopes, etc.

I’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(

So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

I've been working on a history of the tidyverse for an upcoming special issue of the Australia/New Zealand Journal of Statistics celebrating 25 years of R. I'd love to get your feedback! What have I missed?

Screenshot of foreign aid by country

The data at USAID's ForeignAssistance dot gov was removed over the weekend, but it seems to be back (for now). As a backup, I've uploaded the data both as static CSV files and a queryable API

- Details: andrewheiss.github.io/foreignassis...
- API: foreignassistance-data.andrewheiss.com

A reminder that {modelsummary}, {tinytable}, and {marginaleffects} are Canadian so if you're an American researcher, you'll have to increase your citations of those #rstats packages by 25%, err, next month.

You know what I haven't done in almost 900 days? A livestream! Join me on YouTube on January 31st at 2pm Central (UTC - 6), where I'll walk through / break down some monochrome maps I made for a forthcoming book.

(And I'll try to remember how live streaming works).

How do autocrats stay in power?

Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇

Yep, you need at least three windows of 100+ tabs

Welcome, Helen!

Hi I'm Helen and I don't know how Bluesky works! I'll be sharing maps & dataviz that I make and love - as well as tutorials on how to recreate them!

These will likely be interspersed with photos of my enormous cat and/or lunch.

Agreed. Kids do love being able to print the photos they take though.

A screenshot of a tweet by Joshua Stevens that says: "R is a niche language and belongs in the past. It perpetuated through academia (largely poli sci and soft sciences), not by virtue of its innate qualities. The tragedy of R is that many wonderful devs created fantastic libraries, all of which should have been in Python."

Salty dude from ESRI uses popularity to judge the utility of tools. Also fails my freshman methods course with what he thinks science is (hint: it ain't because you use hard objects like pipettes and calipers).

Half-baked trolling attempt; 1.5 out of 5.

PDF table made with LaTeX and tabularray with {tinytable}

R code for making the table

#rstats and #QuartoPub PSA: @vincentab.bsky.social's {tinytable} is the absolute best table making package out there for LaTeX output (it natively supports tabularray!), and it's phenomenal for HTML. It has fully replaced {gt} and {kableExtra} for me vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/

I genuinely do not understand what this is like but it sounds rough. Not having to deal with this is a perk of an utter nobody like myself. He gets ~20 emails an hour; I get less than that a week, almost all of which are campus announcements and the like.

I have now also ported the color vision deficiency simulation app to Shiny live. Advantage is this runs entirely in your browser, even though you "upload" the image it never leaves your computer.

This is helpful, thanks!
