- So that, for now, is that! Last show of 2025 done. A truly brilliant final week, with a couple of my favorite shows ever in the Gold Coast, and then a joyous, rowdy Toowoomba Sunday night to finish it off. 📷 Damian Bennett #SongsTheWorldWillNeverHearTour
- HEY! YOU! ggdibbler 0.6.1 is finally up on CRAN! harriet-mason.github.io/ggdibbler/in... You can now pass random variables to any aesthetic in any ggplot geom/stat. If you can express it as a distribution, ggdibbler can plot it. It also works with ggplot extensions, like gganimate. #rstats
- My favourite learning from #ASC2025 was from @robjhyndman.com The goal of forecasting isn't always to be correct, it can be to influence policy If you're successful, the forecast is probably wrong now and that's good

- You say "ridge regression", I say "weight decay (L2 regularisation)"... Are statistics and data science speaking the same language? ow.ly/efK950XsSWq #freetoread #stats #data
- Congratulations to my student, Maggie Ma, for publishing her first #rstats package {ggincerta} on CRAN 🥳 Spatial uncertainty visualisation (bivariate, pixel, exceedance, glyph), like {Vizumap}, but fully integrated with ggplot2 -- a much simpler API with all the advantages of the ggplot2 system.
- New on CRAN: ggincerta (0.1.0). View at cran.r-project.org/package=ggincerta

- I clearly had a lot of thoughts/feelings from reading Terry's blog post, so I wrote one of my own It ended up being a bit of a stream-of-thought post but I think it captures some of my worries benharrap.com/post/2025-10... #statssky #episky #academicsky
- Y'all. I just got ChatGPT to do everything in R for this manuscript. I mean EVERYTHING. And it's all legit and reproducible. I'm shook. How are we mentoring our trainees in statistics now? Who needs to learn coding in R line by line, and who doesn't? scienceforeveryone.science/statistics-i...

- Currently attending a conference & our field is quite a bit into fancy modeling, so it’s time to repost this blog post. Don’t try to squeeze your research question into whatever model is fashionable right now; try to build the right model for your research question. www.the100.ci/2024/08/27/l...

- I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN. It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package. Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

- Happy to announce ✨quarto-revealjs-editable✨ This fully supersedes the imagemover extension, as I back then didn't realize the potential. You can now also move, resize, change font size and alignment for text in your slides github.com/EmilHvitfeld... #quarto #slidecrafting
