Have you looked into `mlr3` as an alternative?

You are doing it wrong. See `example(grangertest, package="lmtest")` for a formal Granger Causality test on this. 😜 #rstats /cc @AchimZeileis

Solving “What came first the chicken or the egg?” with #RStats. whatcamefirst <- c("🥚","🐔" ) sort(whatcamefirst, decreasing = FALSE) # > [1] "🐔" "🥚" The answer is Chicken :) Mystery solved, thank you R #RStats

PSA: If your #RStats actions at @github end in a nag 'Node.js 12 actions are deprecated.' as shown belowthen do an update as shown in the second picture and use actions/checkout@v3. I so look forward to having to do that for dozens of my repositories. 🤯

Just did something I had not done in a looong time and watched "linear" (non-sports) tv: the @RonCarterBass movie just premiered on @pbs -- and it was really good. Recommended to catch on streaming soon. roncartermovie.com/

The first major film to explore the life and career of jazz luminary Ron Carter, the most recorded bassist in history. Featuring original concert footage and candid insights from jazz icons, Finding...

It actually extends far beyond (some) #RStats package to most (if not all) well-behaved components of the entire Unix toolchain and POSIX spec. Which is why outcries like this recent one are both rare, and justified:

I see that a bunch of system administrators (or distribution packagers) are going to set GNU Grep 3.8 on fire with the power of their minds. Spoiler: new warnings are an API change.

Have this week discovered the wonders of r2u (CRAN as Ubuntu Binaries) by @eddelbuettel. Takes away all the pain of installing R packages on Ubuntu by integrating with apt. Incredibly fast and all OS dependencies automatically taken care of. A revelation! eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/

A concrete example: - a colleague recently demoing / installing `tidyverse` on a RHEL cluster machine: 40+ minutes - using r2u on Ubuntu: around 20 seconds, no questions, no extra steps. It just works. Try it via Docker or in your browser via @gitpod.io (see link at repo).

Then do look at r2u which extends 'easier access / use/ (`bspm`) with a repo full of 19k pre-made binaries (all of CRAN plus bits of BioC) all *with full system-level dependency resolution* for Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04. eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/

You could stick your name into DESCRIPTION and use the RHub builder to build it - - it has Fortran etc set up and should Just Work (TM).

Today is Friday the 14th. I will still be looking over my shoulder all day as we C/C++ programmers are all so wary of off-by-one errors.
