OK #rstats team - explaining to new #rstats users a nice way to drop the first and last values of a vector is surprisingly tricky - something like this still feels a bit involved to new users, I'm curious what folks would use to teach? This feels a bit much: ```r slice_middle <- function(x){ […]

Ursula Franklin—technology thinker, physicist, metallurgist, Quaker, and committed pacifist—is one of the people whose work I return to the most when things are bad. I *tried* to write about her great short checklist for making decisions about technology and I ended up writing a whole post […]

{greta.gam} is now on CRAN! {greta.gam} is another addition to the {greta} universe, that lets you use {mgcv}’s smoother functions and formula syntax to define smooth terms for use in a {greta} model. You can then define your own likelihood to complete the model […] [Original post on aus.social]

A figure of predictions from a generalised additive model fit using mgcv, with predictions fit using greta.gam overlaid on top. The predictions from greta.gam are essentially the same as the ones from mgcv, although with more uncertainty.

We've now released the #rstats package, {geotargets}, version 0.2.0! Thanks to @LeafyEricScott for making this release possible! In this release {geotargets} can now do dynamic branching over a raster, which is quite awesome. See www.njtierney.com/post/2024/11/27/g… for […]

@LeafyEricScott It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Eric on {geotargets}, he's been consistently pushing great features, and they have been absolutely critical to our work at IDEM. You can see an example of this work in action at github.com/idem-lab/map-ir-pipeline. #rstats […]

I do a lot of interactive debugging in RStudio, I'm wondering if there is already a keyboard shortcut to set "debugonce" to the function that my cursor is on? It seems like I could put something together based on @milesmcbain 's outstanding {fnmate] package […]

@mjskay.com We've been interested in looking into S7 as a potentially easier way to onboard people onto greta. R6 is great but is a different style of programming. It might also be that S7 has similar hurdles. There's a lot of learning that can be shared about probabilistic programming / […]

@mjskay.com Amazing! I'd be really interested in your thoughts on {greta}, I really think it is a super nice way to define models. There's a lot of fertile ground for future development in this space, I think. I haven't played around much with posterior, lately I've been more on the package dev […]

Super stoked to announce that {greta} version 0.5.0 is now on CRAN! Thank you to Nick Golding for making this release happen, and for his continued support, I learnt a lot! Some features I'm really excited about: - Now uses Tensorflow 2.0 (which involved a heavy refactor of internals) - […]

@nxskok Agreed. But now there's a hack from @Pele1410 -- don't use the "copy" button!

How can Microsoft Teams be so terrible at putting code in code blocks? If sharing code between code fences, when you copy it, it copies the text and then removes literally all line breaks so when you paste the code it puts it ALL ONTO A SINGLE LINE. Am I going crazy? Is there a solution to this […]
