For those of you who run lab groups, consider creating a lab handbook if you don’t already have one. Ideally something all members can contribute to with philosophies, policies, procedures, tips, etc! This could be as simple as a shared google doc or something a little fancier. Need a template […]

Our group, @cct-datascience.bsky.social, was given 30 days notice to be 100% soft-funded. I'll need to drop to 50% time in May or find more projects in order to keep my job. But more importantly, our group is not sustainable under this model. datascience.cct.arizona.edu/news/data-sc...

There was a lot of debate about this, and plenty of good arguments on both sides. The shorter variable names are for more compact code and data display. For those wanting to covert existing scripts to use the #RStats 4.5.0 versions, there’s the new {basepenguins} 📦 ellakaye.github.io/basepenguins

We are thrilled to announce Air, an extremely fast R formatter! This super speedy tool written in #Rust ensures consistent, readable #RStats code. Read more on the tidyverse blog: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/02...
Whimsical illustration featuring a hot air balloon carrying cartoon animals (lion, giraffes, elephant) flying through a starry sky with planets and clouds. The word 'Air' is integrated into the balloon's design. The 'posit' logo is present, and the overall design is contained within a yellow-outlined hexagon on a textured light blue background.

If you (like me) are brushing up on your #python plotting using #matplotlib or #seaborn, check out the python graph gallery by Yan Holtz: python-graph-gallery.com Being more versed in R, I've found it hard to find others using python (but the #PydyTuesday hash helps). 🙋🏻‍♀️ Say hi if that's you! #databs

Helpful trick for academic writing with #QuartoPub: sometimes when trimming down papers, you've got to remove references (ugh—bibliographies shouldn't count in word counts!) so I use this #rstats snippet to extract all citations & and find things that I've only used once to see if they're droppable
library(tidyverse)

citekeys <- read_file("manuscript.qmd") |>
  str_extract_all("@([A-Za-z0-9_:]+)") |>
  unlist() |>
  str_remove_all("^@") |>
  as_tibble() |>
  count(value) |>

⚠️WANTED⚠️ Dirty datasets that can be used in training courses! Have you got any great examples of datasets (preferably CC0 or CC-BY) that you think demonstrate some of the key issues with dirty data? I'm interested in teaching how to improve data collection, & about cleaning data once you have it. 📊

I am having a hard time finding literature guidance on how to perform model diagnostics for a nonlinear model with multiplicative errors: Y = aX^b*epsilon. In this case, the residuals should be Y/fitted, with fitted = ahat X^bhat. That’s how far I got. Help! 🤭 #rstats
