It's been a busy Q1 for tidymodels with the release of features for survival analysis and fairness - but that's not even all! The post for tune 1.2.0 shows further goodies in that release. This new Q1 roundup post surfaces even more from across the package collection! These roundup posts highlight changes nice enough to mention but maybe not big enough for their own post. #RStats

A key component of the new tidymodels functionality for survival analysis are the new metrics. This post walks you through the Brier score and area under the ROC curve, as adapted for predictions of survival probability! #RStats

We've released support for survival analysis in tidymodels. This methodology is useful for all kinds of time-to-event data: That event may be a customer churning, a machine needing repairs or replacement, a shelter animal being adopted, etc.

For a new case study on tidymodels.org, that event is a complaint to the NYC Departments of Buildings being dispositioned. The analysis shows how to use tidymodels for censored regression, covering the whole process. #RStats

New: tidymodels supports survival analysis! This now unlocks the entire framework for analysis of time-to-event data.

On the #RStats tidyverse blog, I make a case for when this is useful and cover what's new to make this happen:

What makes an album the greatest of all time?

Today I cooked for my kids (because husband is at dinner with his friends).

For the first time they told me that they loved it. As good as daddy food.

Maybe at 46 I'm finally learning to cook. 👩‍🍳 😅🤭

My thanks to everyone recommending 80s dance music for my daughter. Her response is, "I'm gay, dad - I got it covered."

The tidymodels digest for Q4 2023 is here!

We continue to improve error messages, this time in recipes. And unlike usual, we are also looking ahead to Q1 because we are so excited! Survival analysis! 👀 Model fairness! 👀

Some news to share - my role as Open Source Program Director at Posit was eliminated in December, so I’ll be moving on to new opportunities.

I'm so grateful for the time at RStudio/Posit, & the chance to work with such talented and kind people in open source. It was a truly a joy and a privilege to work with colleagues who will remain friends.

While this chapter comes to a close, I'm looking forward to staying involved with projects like TidyTuesday and pyOpenSci & whatever is next!

OMG! I got accepted for a postdoc position at Monash University! It feels unreal.

Any tips for moving across the Pacific Ocean to a country 14 timezones over?

If you are putting together Secret Santa pairings, TJ Mahr's blog post is really nice because it's easy to extend and include your own restrictions:

I’ve been so excited to come to #LatinR2023 and give a keynote! Thank you for having me and letting me nerd out about cognitive load and programming. My slides on ways to read and write code that support your brain in its tasks are at https://hfrick.github.io/2023-latinr #RStats
