The #Rcpp website has been refreshed, but still has quick intros, pointers to the ten vignettes, the gallery, 2500+ #Rstats packages using #Rcpp, and the book. At rcpp.org (and yes, I should order a https cert)

Thanks all: I am (of course) aware of `ymd()`, the point of the tweet was that `anydate()` avoids all this automagically. Plus, as @shabbychef reminded us, base #Rstats was there first (for this value) as `as.Date("2022-03-21") + 7` also works. Peace out.

I also use it but it a) supports fewer formats that anydate(), b) does not deal with as many input types and c) still insists on the re-repeating for 1e5s time what "origin" is (as if there ever was a doubt) so anydate() wins. Apart from that it's great and zero-dependency.

In one week today: @NISS_DataSci seminar on #Rcpp for C++ and #rstats intgegration. Inexpensive registration and more details at niss.org/events/rcpp-r-and-c…
If you want to learn about #Rcpp for C++ and #Rstats integration, I will be giving a one-hour introduction on March 25 thanks to a kind invitation by @NISS_DataSci via Kevin Lee. Registration should be opening soon, more details at the link below. niss.org/events/rcpp-r-and-c…

Excellent proposal. Maybe it should be a copy of the last released version of S-PLUS though?

It's been a while since I looked at it but I am fairly certain that `caret` and/or `mlr3` already cover it for #rstats. It is a not uncommon task. Here is a tweet from just yesterday doing it for #rspatial data too:
New version of #rstats #rspatial package CAST allows visualizing whether training data for #MachineLearning have representative coverage of the prediction area and whether CV folds are appropriately chosen. Tutorial: hannameyer.github.io/CAST/ar… @MLdwig @edzerpebesma @carles_milagarc

Hey, look, round number at CRAN! A big, big thank you to the CRAN maintainers who are volunteers putting together an unparallel repository with unmatched quality guarantees, year in and out. Very much appreciated! (Even if #RStats package authors like myself grumble at times.)

My name is Dirk, and I endorse this package. As I did a year ago in a talk at the @Bioconductor developer forum; video at youtube.com/watch?v=nmY1jIhY… and slides at dirk.eddelbuettel.com/papers… #rstats
#rstats package tinytest now used to unit-test 200+ packages on CRAN! Thanks to all users for your trust in the package, and for all your valuable suggestions!

The second (and more advanced, covering 'live' (financial) market monitoring via pub/sub) of the two new vignettes in package `RcppRedis` is now also on arXiv at, respectively, arxiv.org/abs/2203.08323, and doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2203.…. #rcpp #rstats

M-x R M-x rename-buffer *R:projA* and repeat for several buffers to give multiple (long-running) R sessions within Emacs. Which of course runs in daemon mode so that you can access it at the workstation or remotely ssh'ed in _accessing the same R sessions_. #rstats #emacs

S, of course. Which dates back to May 5, 1976, at Bell Labs and what followed. You may find the excellent article on "S, #RStats, and Data Science" by John Chambers in the ACM HOPL issue interesting if all this new to you: doi.org/10.1145/3386334

It's a NOTE. Not a WARNING or ERROR. There a lots of packages with larger installed footprints. So you can proceed. But you can consider it as hint to maybe reduce same sample data or documentation.

With daughter #1 in town for her first big grad school conference (hello to the APS meeting at McCormick Place) I fired up a family favourite recipe @bittman's HTCE: crispy pork with orange and black beans.

An underappreciated #rstats simulation option is simple mixtures: eg 80% from N(0,1) and 20% from N(0,5) giving fatter tails "cheaply": > set.seed(42) > X <- c(rnorm(10000,0,1), rnorm(2500,0,5)) > e1071::skewness(X) [1] -0.00247981 > e1071::kurtosis(X) [1] 7.92564 >

The quote below is from the @duckdb documentation, but holds in general: don't use `insert` for bulk operations. Rather look at the _specific_ documentation for _your_ SQL backend and see what it recommends for bulk. Or else just be very patient.
