Need a #rstats#rcpp project to work on over the summer? Consider checking out the Google Summer of Code Project for RcppMLPACK project (#mlpack). Mentored by myself, Ryan Curtin (MLPACK), and @eddelbuettel (auxiliary mentor, Rcpp) github.com/rstats-gsoc/gsoc2…
A new post on computing group statistics in #rstats. Includes my attempt to demystify a #rdatatable / #dplyr optimization, and how to extend it to situations where it normally does not work.

And don't get me started on the worse-than-dire situation concerning the OS from Cupertino and the utter absence of any semi-sane support for external libraries. If you have libraries needed there (and I do) you are in a, err, "less pleasant" situation.
Sure. Standard CRAN magic. Points that help
- no prior NOTE, WARNING or ERROR -- but OK everywhere
- no rev. deps so no check for 'change to worse' needed
- no compiled code hence no rchk/(ub)san issues
and drake hits all points -- but it is less easy for widely-used packages

Thanks for the kind note -- but I should state that I am merely part-time at the fabulous UofI as an adjunct. But really looking forward to the upcoming @IcorsLacsc2019 conference! See you all in May!!
