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. brodieg.com/2019/02/24/a-str…

And @Debian packages for R 3.5.3 have been prepared and shipped. @Ubuntu backports should follow as soon as @marutterstat gets to it. #rstats
#rstats 3.5.3 "Great Truth" is released (source version). (@LucyStats: The hint is in the date.)

Replying to @AvrahamAdler
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
In his #chirunconf wrap-up presentation, @wmlandau submitted an update of the #rstats package drake to CRAN. Live. And it’s been accepted.
