{shinysurveys} is a minimalist package for people who want to easily collect and analyze survey data in R. To use it, you simply supply a data frame of questions, a title and description (both optional), and voila!

[Antoine Fabri @antoine_fabri]

#rstats with {ask} you can now change your code in place using natural language, create some scripts, documentation, README, tests...
Also ask for tibbles with ask_tibble(), or for a command pasted to the terminal with ask_terminal()...

Join us for colloquium on Thursday! @travisgerke (@ThePCCTC) & @malco_barrett (@HPDSLab) will be talking about Causal Inference!

📆 Thursday, March 7
⏰ 12:30p
📍 ZSR Auditorium

[Lucy D’Agostino McGowan @LucyStats]

📣Our 🆕 paper Causal Inference is Not Just a Statistics Problem is out! @malco_barrett, @travisgerke, and I show that you can have 4 data sets with identical summary stats & visuals but very different data generating mechanisms-statistics alone can't tell you what to adjust for!

[Jonathan Trattner @jdtrat]

@Nate__Haines Congrats! That’s awesome!

[Lucy D’Agostino McGowan @LucyStats]

📣 @malco_barrett, @travisgerke, and I have been working on some causal inference in #rstats projects (packages, workshops, and a new blog!) and have recently collected them all in a new website 👇

[Antoine Fabri @antoine_fabri]

Dear #rstats, I'll be speaking next Thursday 18:00 - 20:00 CEST for the Workshops for Ukraine org about debugging, refactoring, and how my packages {flow}, {constructive} and {boomer} can help. Be sure to join (or/and retweet away) !

@seankross @jmcphers Happy New Year! Happy to (try to) help! What’s the typical use case? Do you intend to pass valid R code to a background session and just want to detect when it is busy (either through long running code or an invalid expression like “2+”)?

[Jonathan Trattner @jdtrat]

@seankross @jmcphers Did you find a viable solution?

[Jonathan Trattner @jdtrat]

@seankross @jmcphers Ah, totally missed this, sorry (and happy holidays)! My gut reaction was to make a function that wraps parse(text = “2 +”) and call it inside the background R session. BUT that throws an error since it’s an invalid expression and can’t be parsed 🤔 (see https://t.co/wDA2UCc10K)

@amanda_frazier8 life + geom_resolution(year = 2023)

[Jonathan Trattner @jdtrat]

@seankross @jmcphers Yeah, ofc! I think you can get that behavior with r_session$new(). I might take a look at the source code from https://t.co/9zdXUjKrr4. I think callr has updated since that package was written, but it has some nice material in it that might be adaptable for your use case!

Transparency in public health messaging matters. @hanmmendoza & I looked at how providing transparent information about why a public health recommendation is being made can increase uptake in a randomized trial published today in @PLOSONE

[Jonathan Trattner @jdtrat]

@seankross @jmcphers Depending on your use case, I think you can spin up a background R session as an R6 object and interact with it. It even looks like you could attach it as a REPL (though that’s still experimental): https://t.co/4aIsPAmleb

@hadleywickham I tried grabbing the Nespresso pod images/labels and ran into this issue a few months ago: https://t.co/azo3gMhyLo

My first #JuliaLang blog post - a review of DataFrames.jl from a {dplyr} and {data.table} perspective!

TL;DR - different enough to be interesting but not too different that it's painful. Great R-to-Julia entry point if you're also Julia-curious!

Hi ggplot2 users! Seeing OJS & wondering how to get started w/ Observable Plot to build interactive JS dataviz? You’re already most of the way there! Here I highlight how your existing grammar of graphics know-how gets you up-and-running in Plot 🏃📊
