The stats book guy. Metal fan masquerading as Prof of Quantitative Methods. Learn R with the discovr package. (http://discovr.rocks/discovr/).
In preparation for the imminent publication of the new edition of my R textbook, the updated interactive tutorials are now available on CRAN. I did a massive re-write last summer, road tested them in my teaching last term, and I’m pretty happy with them. For now. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

@posit.co this fundamentally undermines me using your products as a teaching tool. Will this be in posit cloud too? If so, instructors need to be able to switch this off in module workspaces.

high on my list would be travelling from one side of London to the other at 8am to buy concert tickets from the venue box office, with cash, when they went on sale and still having change from £10.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Just uploaded the updated `discovr_18` R tutorial, which it turns out I did months ago and just needed some tweaks (hooray). Covers contingency tables and chi-square stuff. Changed to match the chapter of the forthcoming textbook. github.com/profandyfiel...

While re-writing my R tutorials I removed the Bayes material from individual tutorials, rewrote it, and collected it in its own home. Just pushed the resulting tutorial `discovr_bayes` to github, it's a gentle intro to Bayesian estimation using rstanarm. github.com/profandyfiel...

When I see clips of RFK jr. I think ‘that’s what a cane toad would look and sound like if being strangled’. The cane toad would talk more sense though.

'Amazing Things’ greatest asset won’t be found in innovative recording techniques or outlandish compositions, but in Hayman’s heart-wrenching sincerity, both in celebrating his friend and articulating his sadness.'
