The newest version of my #R#package TidyDensity really took off for me. Now wait until the next release which introduces 39 new functions. #R#RStats#RProgramming
A new release of #rstats broom is on CRAN! v1.0.6 includes several changes to well-used tidiers from the package, e.g. for lm(), gam(), and survfit() output.
If you work with text data in R, the gregexpr() function is essential for pattern matching. It finds all occurrences of a pattern within a string. Key parameters include pattern, text, ignore.case, perl, fixed, and useBytes. You can match characters, ignore case, use advanced regex, and search fixed strings.
Next Tuesday I'll be part of a Fireside Chat alongside #useR2024 keynote Abhishek Ulayil on the topic of "Building foundations for R’s future as an accessible and diverse collaboration".
Thank you continuous backups! I was working in RStudio and the git pane was showing "./" as being staged and I was unable to unstage it. It displayed a small amount of code from one R function, so I just reverted it after backing up that file... which reverted ALL the files in the repo to their last state (with days worth of work being gone) 😬 😬 😬
Thankfully I was able to pull versions of the files from an hour prior from backblaze, with minimal work lost
Rendering the moon's craters with displacement mapping in R with rayrender! If you noticed they appear unphysically large, it's because I'm using a information communication technique long employed by cereal boxes: the data have been enlarged to show texture 😉

Anyone else having issues with CRAN today? I was trying to submit an update to a package but I get an error that the SSL certificate has expired and it won't upload via {curl} and Firefox flags the page as unsafe. #RStats
(1/2) I recently posted a few posts about Rust 🦀 and my intention to leverage it for data science applications. Multiple people asked if Rust is a substitute for R or Python, and the short answer (in my opinion) is no. I see Rust as a complementary or supporting language that could make languages like R and Python faster.
Polaris 🐻❄️ is one example of a Python 🐍 application that uses Rust on the backend. 🧵👇🏼
The world of big data, databases, and R is rapidly evolving with an explosion of tools and packages. We're delighted to announce two workshops at posit::conf(2024) tailored for working with large datasets:
• Big Data in R with Arrow, led by Nic Crane and Steph Hazlitt
• Databases with R led by @kirill
