This is a fantastic snapshot of the active #RStats community on Bluesky!
Here are some key observations and themes I see:
Strong Community:
- Frequent Engagement: A lot of posts discussing R projects, packages, datasets, visualizations, and learning experiences.
- Collaborative Spirit: People sharing code, datasets, and insights; citing each other's work; and offering help. The Australian abortion services study example shows how open-source tools like
logitrcontribute to impactful research.
Diversity of Interests:
- Academic Research: Posts showcasing data analysis for various fields (e.g., population studies, statistics, causal inference).
- Data Visualization: Many people sharing engaging data visualizations using R packages like
ggplot2. The TidyTuesday example highlights the fun and creative potential. - Package Development: Announcements about new R packages being released on CRAN, like
spanishoddata, demonstrate the active development of tools within the R ecosystem.
Learning and Support:
- Asking for Help: People openly seeking advice and guidance on R-related challenges (e.g., color palettes).
- Sharing Resources: Links to tutorials, blog posts, and datasets provide valuable learning opportunities for newcomers.
Overall Sentiment: Enthusiastic and positive! The #RStats community seems vibrant, supportive, and constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible with R.
Let me know if you have any specific questions about the content or would like me to elaborate on particular posts!
Top 10 posts:
- Hadley Wickham: Very proud to announce that @posit.co has joined the opensourcepledge.com. We're committing to spending $2000 / developer / year to support open source software that we use (but don't develop): posit.co/blog/posit-p... #rstats #pydata
- Jarrett Byrnes: OK, here is a very rough draft of a tutorial for #Bayesian #SEM using #brms for #rstats. It needs work, polish, has a lot of questions in it, and I need to add a references section. But, I think a lot of folk will find this useful, so.... jebyrnes.github.io/bayesian_sem... (use issues for comments!)
- Danielle Navarro: Some words on regular expressions in #rstats. In which I finally wrap my head around the fact that there are at least three different regex engines in widespread usage in R, they support different features, and they all hate me blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2024-1...
- Colin 🤘🌱🏃♀️: #RStats I'm so, so thrilled to finally share the release of Rlinguo, a mobile app that runs R 📱 This is a fully, native mobile app that uses #webR in the backend to run R functions. Available on the App Store (iPhone) & Play Store (Android) rtask.thinkr.fr/introducing-...
- Erik Reinbergs: These bayes tutorials are the first ones i've actually understood. Looking forward to the rest of the being finished. Go @easystats.bsky.social teams! easystats.github.io/bayestestR/i... #rstats
- Dave H: Just pushed a Christmas update to {ggblanket}. I decided to support colour blending. It uses {ggblend} under the hood (thanks @mjskay.com), which uses graphics features developed by Paul Murrell. Give {ggblanket} and {ggblend} a star, if you find them useful. Oh, and have a merry Christmas #rstats
- Owen Phillips: I created a thing that puts every player's box score stats from the night before in one interactive table. Ive been using it every morning to quickly check who had a good/bad game instead of looking at 10 different box scores updates nightly #rstats #gt #quarto thef5.quarto.pub/boy/
- Frank Harrell: 1/2 Major release 6.9-0 of #RStats rms package now available on CRAN w/complete re-write of the binary/ordinal logistic regression function lrm. lrm began in 1980 as SAS PROC LOGIST so it was time for a re-do for iterative calculations. Details are at fharrell.com/post/mle
- Hadley Wickham: I discovered that the original plyr website still exists: had.co.nz/plyr/. It's hard to imagine that this used to be a better than average package website #rstats
- Joe Chou: As far as I’m concerned, #webr and #shinylive is indistinguishable from magic. I can’t believe that since first installing #quarto-webr a few hours ago till now, I’ve gotten a relatively complicated #shinyapp exported, deployed, and running serverless. This is magic. #rstats
