It feels strange to post this now, but I needed a win. Our Data Analytics course just won an award!

Chuffed, because I did not nominate myself, and grateful for the multiple nominations from our students. Thank you so much!

New blog post! Exploring gradient descent with linear regression. I program an algorithm from scratch in #rstats, and end up producing gifs like this, showing how the algorithm learns! #MachineLearning #ML https://t.co/dxy9TavX9g

Introducing 'dplyr-cli' - a method for manipulating CSV files in bash/shell/terminal using #dplyr

Ever wanted to run a quick filter on a CSV file in the terminal without switching to #RStats? 'dplyr-cli' is for you!

CRAN is currently in the process of migrating the default toolchain for R 4.0 on Windows to the new rtools40 (gcc-8). There may be a bit of disruption while everything is being synchronized...

Verbal description:

0) Install your preferred WSL distro, e.g. Ubuntu
1) In RStudio: "Tools > Terminal > Terminal Options"
2) In the dropdown menu for "New terminals open with", select "Bash (Windows Subsystem for Linux)"
3) Refresh your RStudio Terminal (Alt+Shift+R)
4) Profit

The new dplyr::relocate() function is for those of you who spend far too much time retyping column orders in dplyr::select() because your boss has data-OCD - or you do :) #rstats #r4ds #datascience #tidyverse

My paper w/ @mijkenijk on how to conduct power analysis to detect a target effect in SEM (e.g., between latent factors) is in press at AMPPS! https://t.co/OEbF2kIBdv

With it, I am excited to introduce pwrSEM, an app for SEM power analysis: https://t.co/FkUnuRE1sY

Heaps of fun! Bedazzle those plots!

My fav: placeholder kittens!

The @RStudio @TensorFlow blog is getting a new name! Can't wait to share new features and projects with #rstats, stay tuned! -- https://t.co/TVyyclpc9V

[Grant McDermott https://bsky.app/profile/gmcd.bsy @grant_mcdermott]

In teaching some intro-to-ML stuff, I've noticed that there's not a nice automated way to visualize decision tree partitions in #ggplot2.

So I packaged up some simple functions in my spare time (ha ha, I know). Feel free to kick the tyres. https://t.co/5bi4oR88ZB #rstats
