i wrote this gem from locascio 2011 down, bc i think everyone learning stats needs to hear it
"Exploratory and confirmatory graphical analysis of raw and transformed data should be done preliminary to, concurrently with, and after numerical analysis" - karger.com/Article/Abstract/…
I think these get shadowbanned but I am on M astodon too mastodon.social/@emem_tee

Register for the 2023 JSM Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program (DWMP)! DWMP brings historically underrepresented graduates, post-docs, and early career professionals together with more senior statisticians in academia, government, and the private sector.
I'm not sure I agree with *all* of this but it is a clever way to organize what we aim to do with our hobbies and how we can better use them.
Also shout out to vicki's blog post curation, probably responsible for 90% of my blog reading
This is really good and one of the reasons I am turning down talking engagements for a bit. If you are talking about something you don’t have the attention to be building it. brooker.co.za/blog/2023/04/2…

There are some posts I like to re-read from time to time and each time I read them, I come out of them with a different understanding and experience. Today was the day to re-read “Teach Yourself Programming in 10 Years.” norvig.com/21-days.html

Prolific #rspatial dev @paleolimbot of @voltrondata making the case at #rstudioconf for {geoarrow}: use geoparquet files for reading in spatial data fast! Includes easy transfer across geo software
Maybe I’ll finally be convinced to use @ApacheArrow now… #rstudioconf2022
MM Thomas retweeted
For exploratory spatial data analysis, you 1) move bt multiple levels of spatial aggregation 2) quickly explore links bt multiple variables. This “linking”/“brushing” is in @GeoDaCenter!
Now in #rspatial with the {leafdown} pkg 4 Shiny! #rstudioconf2022

How to pick which open source project to contribute to? Look for packages with issues tagged things like “good-first-issue” (shows they welcome new contributors) and pkgs that you use regularly. Making documentation clearer can be a great start! -@nic_crane #RStudioConf2022
Loved @dgkeyes talk and glad to see a useful, approachable framing of marketing skills
When marketing your business, find your people - go deep, don’t try to speak to everyone. For R for the Rest of Us, that’s people who want to learn #rstats but are intimidated - all content is targeted to that audience. @dgkeyes #RStudioConf2022
MM Thomas retweeted
While we hope to see you in person at #rstudioconf, we want to include as many of you as possible. We invite you to join us virtually!
📺 We will livestream talks on the conference site.
📆 Get ready! Start adding to your calendar.
