GO #ARTEMISII GO!!!! 🚀

Godspeed, humans!

Statistical Rethinking 2026 is done: 20 new lectures emphasizing logical and critical statistical workflow, from basics of probability theory to causal inference to reliable computation to sensitivity. It's all free, made just for you. Lecture list and links: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

Finally made the time to finish all of reproducible-data-science.dev

It's great, and you should read it.

There's certainly more available to be adopted than might be right for you / your team, but the layout is very clean and the topics get good treatment.

(Use rix! It's so useful.)

I saw this when it was a preprint? They have a unique version of the estimand-estimator-estimates workflow, will be useful for may biologists, not just ecologists. We need more case studies for ecologists to emulate and for norms to shift so "regression and storytelling" becomes unpublishable.

Graphics are... inline!??

The cover of Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, which has a young dude who IMHO looks like Luigi and superimposed over him are the outline of a howling wolf and a hatchet and also a crashing plane

This is super neat

One of my aims at the time was to make sure we can show this relationship in simulated data, inspired by
@rmcelreath.bsky.social's approach to statistics. Statistical Rethinking is a life-changing book, this paper wouldn't be the way it is now without it. Very grateful to McElreath!

As the US economy screams ever higher on mostly AI bets, I feel obligated to put a marker down here and emphasize the business value of machine learning in the hope that this future AI winter will miss ML practitioners and researchers. AI winter is coming again when the bubble pops

Hudson Bay polar bears have nowhere to go (no ice of significance) & it's still much warmer than normal. When I started studying the bears here in 1984, they were back on the ice weeks earlier. At 1 kg mass loss/day, the bears would welcome some frigid weather.

You should read this wonderful little history of the #tidyverse, by @hadley.nz.

It reminded me about my early #rstats days as a PhD student (2011 - 2016), where I was constantly trying out the new things Hadley and crew were cooking up.

A #Slurm user just confirmed that "yay it works. Pretty sick!"

Thanks to excellent feedback from several users, it'll soon be even easier to distribute #rstats code via #HPC job schedulers using future.batchtools

AI is powerful, but it's no free lunch - and again, it's no substitute for YOUR expertise.

R and QGIS, name a better combo

“I used R the statistical programming language to analyse each of the 3-hourly netCDFs — a file format for storing multidimensional scientific data — and create a geoJSON file where the data was greater than 35C. These files were then loaded into Qgis and styled….” - @sdbernard.bsky.social #RStats

Functional Programming Tools A complete and consistent functional programming toolkit for R.

Bleeding edge update for the #tidyverse purrr package with even more seamless #rstats parallel maps.

Introducing our shiniest new adverb: `in_parallel()`. Just wrap your function to take advantage of blazing fast parallel processing via mirai.

Posit Accelerate model deployment with Databricks and Orbital for R and Python Scikit-learn/Tidymodels projects.

Being able to productionize a ML model is often the goal, however there are many things to keep track of when you do. The orbital package lets you translate your fitted scikit-learn or tidymodels model into SQL that that when run produces predictions.

How reliable are LLMs at extracting data from pdfs? Inspired by @simonwillison.net's PyCon talk, I added extracting FEMA's daily operation briefing to my LLM evals suite.

Just one model extracted the data from the pdf correctly: Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview. Full results -> kschaul.com/llm-evals/ev...

It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social
