This is an excellent podcast.

Hi all! I'm looking for people to try out my new collaborative writing platform. Think: Overleaf or GDocs for Mkdown LaTeX HTML Typst Quarto Free, open source, and full-featured. Many editors, chat, comments, track changes, history, AI, mobile, templates, etc Would ❤️ any feedback! librepaper.org

How should we track human decisions in the kind of data science project that Alex envisions, and how can we ensure LLMs implement our decisions faithfully? One idea would be "Data Analysis Decision Records" What do you think? I'd love any feedback on #DADR ! vincentarelbundock.github.io/dadr

I’m pleased to announce that Vol 18 Issue 3 of The R Journal is out now! 🥳 Free & open access, R journal is made possible by our volunteer editors, reviewers + contributing authors. Thank you all! journal.r-project.org/issues/2026-3/ 🧵 20 articles 👇 #rstats journal.r-project.org/issues/2026-3/

Big news! 🎉 𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚕𝚎𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚜 1.0.0 for #Rstats is out. It’s a big number and it feels like a big step. I wrote a blog on the challenges of interpreting statistical models, SPEED, cool new features, the future, and a 5 year package development and writing odyssey. arelbundock.com/posts/margin...

🎙️ New Podcast! @sarahlotspeich.bsky.social & I are launching Regression to the Mean Girls where we go way too deep into silly data side quests! In our first episode Sarah deep dives on time to first kiss in romance novels! open.spotify.com/episode/73wC... regressiontothemeangirls.com

#rstats I'm glad to announce Jarl 0.6.0! Jarl is a very fast R linter, written in Rust. This release brings many improvements and fixes. See the blog post: www.etiennebacher.com/posts/2026-0... And the full changelog: jarl.etiennebacher.com/changelog 🧵 to highlight some features below (1/5)

The 𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 0.18.0 📦 for #RStats is out! The new version is faster, has lots of bug fixes, and some beat new features. Check it out if you need a dead simple, ultra-flexible, and dep-free package to draw tables: (interactive) html, typ, tex, pdf, and png. vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable

Cutest book cover picture ever!

New issue of WiP just arrived and I genuinely can’t decide what to read first — What medicine could be, will farm animals always suffer, what if everything we know about recycling was wrong, a piece about how Thailand was never conquered, daycare pseudoscience.

If you use #Typst and want to create beautiful slide shows, using a simple interface, check out my new Mosaic package! The website hosts tons of tutorials and examples. Please let me if you try, find bugs, or have feature requests. I'm very eager to improve Mosaic!

Today I was delighted to discover the meme gallery on the marginaleffects website 😂 marginaleffects.com/bonus/meme.h...

Bigger daughter made a photo montage of herself at the Detroit Institute of Art, 13 years apart.

Issue 55 of #rdmweekly is out! 📬 ➡️ The Rapid Rise of Bayesian Inference and Open Science Practices in Psychology @ejwagenmakers.bsky.social ➡️ data.table, base, dplyr, pandas, and polars @vincentab.bsky.social ➡️ SQLite Query Explainer @simonwillison.net rdmweekly.substack.com/p/rdm-weekly...

Here's a useful page with a **ton** of common tasks in #RStats, done with parallel syntax for tidyverse vs. data.table vs. base. arelbundock.com/posts/dt_tb_... #rdatatable #tidyverse

I'll be in Ann Arbor next week to talk about `marginaleffects` and how to interpret statistical models. Let me know if you're around! pdhp.isr.umich.edu/workshops/ #RStats #PyData

𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭 v0.7.0 now available on CRAN 🎉 This is big release, with loads of new features. Same tiny footprint, though ;-) Short highlight thread below, borrowing examples from our gallery: grantmcdermott.com/tinyplot/vig...

Can you guess a country by looking at its Greenhouse Gas emissions? It's hard!! climatle.xyz shows you the country's worst sectors, electricity mix, and its GHG trajectory over time. You get 6 guesses and geographic hints after every bad guess. h/t the great Sam Rowan

What can surveys miss when respondents choose the same answer option? In this pre-print, we argue that public opinion research needs not only to know where respondents stand, but how they think. AI Conversational Interviewing is one way to make that observable at scale

Today I visited LG2, Canada's largest hydro-electric dam. The selfie (sorry!) shows the "Staircase of the Giants." It's an iconic angle every Québecois has seen, but it's hard to convey scale. The 2nd pic is from the top, showing just how big just the first step is. What an amazing day! #hydroquebec

I highly recommend this very clear, helpful and practical paper on statistical inference with marginaleffects package. I added it to my lab’s “required reading” list.

Incentives to reproduce and replicate articles are so bad. Even when your comment leads to the retraction of a PLOS One article, the reward is a (10 days late) email with a thank you at the bottom. Retraction notice: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti.... But we are not complaining about PLOS One 🧵

I teach marginaleffects in my intro stats class at Berkeley public health. I've heard some pushback that students don't learn how to eg exponentiate a coefficient from a logistic regression. They don't understand this is a feature and not a bug. Keep up the good work @vincentab.bsky.social

Next week!

In "Uncertainty in Bayesian leave-one-out cross-validation based model comparison" doi.org/10.1214/25-B... we showed when LOO-CV elpd_diff and se_diff normal approximation uncertainty quantification in model comparison is well calibrated. We have now merged a related PR to loo R package 1/
