Way to surprise me, Texas.
The Texas House of Representatives has voted to impeach scandal-plagued Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, triggering his immediate suspension from duties and setting up a trial that could permanently remove the state’s top lawyer from office. apnews.com/article/texas-att…

Dear #RStats , on windows why do I sometimes get an error when installing packages with the message "Error in utils::install.packages(package, ...) : type 'binary' is not supported on this platform"?

{easystats} is now a CRAN package! Not only that you can now just do "library(easystats)" to use the full feature-set of our ecosystem, you can also easily stay updated with the latest features by running `easystats::install_latest()` (easystats.github.io/easystat…). #easystats #rstats
We are beyond excited that the {easystats} meta-package is on CRAN! 🥳

Now, to access functionality provided by all 10 📦s in this ecosystem, you need to do just this 🙌
```
install.packages("easystats")
library("easystats")

ALT easystats is a collection of R packages, which aims to provide a unifying and consistent framework to tame, discipline, and harness the scary R statistics and their pesky models. The image shows all hexstickers for R packages that belong in this ecosystem.

Interesting article on modeling excess mortality, including discussion of some of the work I've been doing as part of the WHO Technical Advisory Group: nytimes.com/2022/04/16/healt…

On the need for calibration of risk assessment in predictive analytics for medicine. I strongly agree. A lot has been done in other fields, especially meteorology, starting with the Brier score (1952); see. e.g. sites.stat.washington.edu/ra…. Don't reinvent the wheel!
"it is imperative to evaluate calibration using appropriate measures & visualizations – this helps us to understand how the algorithm performs in a particular setting, where predictions may go wrong"
A must read to understand the importance of calibration tinyurl.com/mrwwrw6r
Still not seeing (or probably I missed it) a good argument for moving from #rmarkdown to #quarto #RStats, or going through the exercise for converting.
