OpenStatsware co-chairs Alessandro Gasparini, Daniel Sabanés Bové, and Ya Wang discuss the group's shift to #OpenSource statistical software in the pharmaceutical industry.
The interview covers the success of the 'mmrm' #RStats package and the group's future. Read it here! https://posit.co/blog/openstatsware-interview/
Using R to simulate the sky for the full day of July 30th, 2025 in Washington, DC
(hint at what's coming in the future for rayshader: give a lat, long, and time of day, and render an image with not only the exact sun orientation at that time, but a realistic simulation of the atmosphere as well
)
I cannot stress how much easier #RStats ggtext::element_textbox_simple makes dealing with the egregious # of facets I have for some plots of our data
```
strip.text.x.top = element_textbox_simple(height = unit(N, "lines"))
```
zero headaches getting the full strip text

Do you (sometimes) use print() or message() for debugging your code? Next time you can use {icecream} instead: https://turtletopia.github.io/2022/07/28/ice-cream-for-r-programmers/ #rstats #icecream #debug

Is anyone here also on bluesky and can tell me how the rstats community there compares to here? Also, how well does this "briding" thingy work? #rstats
Join us on September 29th for amazing workshops followed by great talks on September 30th about new and classic #RStats packages, insightful use cases and discussions on how to to best communicate your results.
Virtual #useR2025 has officially started, but you can still register throughout the day!
If the scheduled times are no good for your time zone, you can always catch up with them when it's a better time of the day for you. The registration confirmation contains info to access the videos. #RStats
The first video is up and the rest are queued up to be released throughout the day!
Daft #useR2025 newbie question.Where do you go when the virtual sessions go live to watch them,.is it the website virtual conference programme page or somewhere else?
I'm fully expecting to muck up my timezone calculations 
Just discovered that {mgcv} supports parallel processing in `gam()` and `bam()`.
Promptly ran out of RAM.
Another #rstats experiment. I'am not sure if it's weird or genius.
Just checked #useR2025 registrations and we're just 40 people shy of hitting 1000 signups for the virtual conference! If you're in the mood for some #RStats from the comfort of your home, register at https://user2025.r-project.org/register and join the fun!

If you use government data hosted on Socrata portals such as the New York, Los Angeles, Chicago data portals, you can now automate the import of that data in R through {socratadata}!
It improves on the existing {RSocrata} by supporting all Socrata data types (including spatial data) with the help of Rust 
.

@Posit is maybe trying the "kotlin" model, ie having an editor than can pay (they also have cloud products).
#Rstats is probably closer to an academic language (see Evan talk at strangeloop). Or it can just be a productivity language in the "excel" equivalent of digital market
#Python is probably an amazing model for the "productivity language" ?
(always great to listen to him!)
but you can catch it here:
