And as usual the @Debian package has been prepared and uploaded (but to 'experimental' as a release freeze is ongoing). The usual CRAN 'backports' for @Ubuntu and @Debian should be coming shortly thanks to @marutterstat and @JohannesRanke #rstats
#rstats 4.0.5 "Shake and Throw" (source version) has been released. NB, very minor update, except if you use East Asian charsets.

New Post: An Ode to Stable Interfaces, and Praise To Base R and R Core In which I run code I posted fourteen years ago: it works unaltered. That should be cherished, celebrated--and encouraged. We need more examples like this. dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2… #rstats #reproducibility

What an absolute legend. May he rest in peace. Ran within sight of him during one or two of my Boston (where everybody is pace-sorted), and he was of course not only a generation older than me, but pushing his son in the runner-chair. Made it look effortless. Beyond impressive.

Thread with details on the outstanding Covid19 mortality risk estimator by @TheEconomist. And reposting (wrt to tweet from Thu) now with correct credit to @XGBoostProject for the model deployed. So read this thread, the article and background piece and the web app. #rstats
