I sincerely apologize for the mcptools package not having a cute lil feller on its hex sticker in its first release. This will be corrected in the next #rstats CRAN release!!! posit-dev.github.io/mcptools/

dplyr::rows_update() and dplyr::rows_patch() continue to be super helpful functions when you want to fill missing data with data collected from another source. #rstats More examples: cghlewis.github.io/data-wrangli...

Use tree-sitter, they said. It has great Rust bindings, they said! here I am, writing #define macros and hard-casting pointers like I'm in undergrad operating systems class again. Except debuggers don't work nearly as well as gdb in emacs did back in 2000! Computers were a mistake

Significance tests, p-values, and falsificationism
This thread takes its inspiration from the recent discussions in social science and statistics about significance tests, what they’re good for, whether p-values should be banned, and what all of that ...
![Results of model fitting to the average daily fat content data from @Henderson1990-bd. a) observed average daily fat content (points) and estimated lactation curves from Wood's [-@Wood1967-re] model, a Tweedie GLM, and a Tweedie GAM (lines) with associated 95% confidence (Wood's model) or 95% credible intervals (GLM and GAM). Response residuals for Wood's model (b), Tweedie GLM (c), and Tweedie GAM (d), plus scatter plot smoothers (lines) and 95% credible intervals (shaded ribbons).
The fitted lactation curves are like an inverted U, with an extended longer tail to the right (later in lactation). The GAM curve fits the data well, but the fitted curves from Wood's model and the GLM equivalent do not provide good fits to the data, and over predict the amount of fat produced at the peak of lactation, and only grossly capture the decline in fat production later in lactation. The remaining panels show the raw response residuals for the three models, drawing attention to the poor fit; for Wood's model and the GLM there is significant pattern in the residuals, while for the GAM no residual pattern is observed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vyspvwpd2wp4rt3sg3guwefm/bafkreifhngtwpi7dgrf4atute3lm6wdyipyblcu3qlyxarkgsryytxtw64@jpeg)

Alt: Rafiki yeeting Simba off of Pride Rock to the adoring cheers of the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom is a metaphor for frustrated scientists everywhere. Simba is the giant Excel file. Rafiki is someone whose time is being wasted. The rock is the uncaring ether, which we drift through in a disinterested universe which has no qualms over whether we live or die
Robin Blythe@rbly.bsky.social
Every single time I get asked to look at someone's survey: no validation. Clear priming in question format. Way too long. No reasoning behind some questions. I point out issues, then get told it's already been given to >1000 patients and clinicians. Waste of everyone's time and brain cells. Hate it!
