The LangChain LLM framework is only available in Python and JavaScript. But if you're an R user, @jayeung12 shows how to incorporate LangChain Python code into an R script with the {reticulate} 📦. This lets you include #LangChain in an #rstats workflow. https://jason-yeung.netlify.app/posts/2023_5_26/
I would really love a search engine that, when I search for an #Rstats package, just leads me to the appropriate github or CRAN site. How does something as unusable and parasitic (imho) as rdocumentation.org always end up at the top of every search?
@peter_mcmahan It annoys me too to get .rdrr.io results as top answers. Results from Bing's chat may be more likely to give answers you want when search for #rstats 📦s.
does anyone know if it's possible (and how) to check which libraries in a script are actually used? As in have at least a function call in said script.
I have long script with a ton of library calls at the top and I am pretty sure not all of them are used, but except for iteratively remove libraries one by one and watch the script burn, but I don't know how else to test it.
Hey #RStats, here's a cheat sheet I put together about best practice for R. There's some stuff specific to my workplace, but in future I may make a more general version and submit it to Posit. Anything I've missed, or that you'd change?
📊🔬 Exciting news! Learn bootstrap resampling in R with lapply, rep, and sample functions. Estimate uncertainty, analyze data variability, and unlock insights. #DataAnalysis#R#RStats#OpenSource#RProgramming 🎉💻
Still messing around with using OpenAI LLMs in RStudio for writing assistance tools. Getting some decent results from a shiny app that I'm building for grammar checking. This package is experimental and could change at any moment as I figure out what I want to do with it, but it's still fun to make hex logos and pretty things up using pkgdown. (posting to see if the logo shows up here :) )
The #rstats tidymodels team recently converted our website to use #QuartoPub, allowing us to more easily maintain and contribute content.
There are a few bonus features that came along with this conversion too, though! One that's super exciting to me is the searchable broom method table—if you have a model object to summarize but can't find tidier methods for it, you can search across all CRAN packages here🤯

I've been hinting about some larger things going on at work, and that I have not been in a position to say anything untill all applications were approved. It is not approved and I can say:
Me and two colleagues (as a start) are establishing a core facility at the University of Oslo to help researchers in social and humanities sciences with their projects.
And right now another message just popped in my inbox confirming more internal funding from my University for establishing a platform for online behavioural data collection, improving #rstats package installs for our airgapped server and creating a network to share competencies within social and humantity sciences with complex technological needs.
🥳 This is kind of the start of a new career within academia for me, and I am so excited!
