We're going to have an online Tidy Tuesday coding club event on April 8. Come and work on visualizing a dataset together! meetup.com/portland-r-use…

In teaching some intro-to-ML stuff, I've noticed that there's not a nice automated way to visualize decision tree partitions in #ggplot2. So I packaged up some simple functions in my spare time (ha ha, I know). Feel free to kick the tyres. github.com/grantmcdermott… #rstats

Come join the conversation! R Consortium has started a new Slack channel to discuss COVID-19 related data visualizations tools and projects - bddy.me/33Wd53W

The RStudio TensorFlow blog is getting a new name! Can't wait to share new features and projects with #rstats, stay tuned! -- blogs.rstudio.com/tensorflow/pos…

My paper w/ Mijke Rhemtulla on how to conduct power analysis to detect a target effect in SEM (e.g., between latent factors) is in press at AMPPS! psyarxiv.com/pj67b With it, I am excited to introduce pwrSEM, an app for SEM power analysis: yilinandrewang.shinyapps.io/pwrSEM/ Thread: 1/13

Introducing {ggpattern} - pattern & image fills for #ggplot Heaps of fun! Bedazzle those plots! My fav: placeholder kittens! code: github.com/coolbutuseless… Plenty of examples/vignettes are on display on the pkg site: coolbutuseless.github.io/package/ggpatt… #RStats #ggpattern
