News and information about the R programming language
- After an extended beta period, JAGS 5.0.0 is now available. The release is more of a process than a single event, but we have started by uploading the source tarball and the Windows installer to SourceForge. The macOS installer will … Continue reading → Continue reading: JAGS 5.0.0 is released
- In their paper “A Synchronized Multi‑IMU Wearable System for Tracking of Joint‑Angles in Sports Motion Analysis” (arXiv:2607.26027v1), Samarasekera and colleagues set out to solve a very practical problem: how to reliably measure joint angles in dynamic sports movements using wearable IMUs. Their goal was to design a … Continue reading: Analyzing Financial Trends: Kalman Filtering […]
- We have all seen colourful signposts with great cities and their distances – how far each is from this current standpoint. And fundamental question is, how correct these distances are? Or even, one should ask, how honest a particular signpost…Read more › Continue reading: Little useless-useful R functions – Honest geographical location signposts
- LLMs can produce a convincing media recommendation in a few seconds. The more useful question is whether the recommendation is correct: are the reach calculations right, are the assumptions visible, and does the plan fit the brief? I work at Havas Med… Continue reading: Evaluating LLMs/AI for Media Planning in R
- The package garchf wraps the extensive GARCH modeling machinery in rugarch behind a forecast-style interface, so that GARCH-based forecasts can be produced, plotted, and evaluated with the same conventions used throughout the forecast ecosystem (in the… Continue reading: ‘garchf’: GARCH probabilistic forecasting with package ‘forecast’-style interface (and ‘rugarch’ under the hood)
- Like many people I have been keeping track of the slow-burn fuel crisis arising from the war in Iran, its possible expansion to the Red Sea, and exacerbation from the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. The latter seems to have reached a stage wher… Continue reading: US oil stocks by @ellis2013nz

- This release adds feedback from students and instructors Continue reading: Spurious correlations 0.2 is on CRAN!
- Join our workshop on Introduction to All Things About bpvars, the R package for Forecasting with Bayesian Panel Vector Autoregressions, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! Here’s some more info: Title: All Things About bpvars, the R package for Forecasting with Bayesian Panel Vector Autoregressions … Continue reading: ntroduction to All […]
- I’m a big fan of Github Copilots ghost text and next edit suggestions. As a data analyst they give you much more control over the pace and direction of analysis code than a full AI agent. They also let you practice the core skill an agent needs … Continue reading: Using ghost text and next […]
The 8 Best R Programming Books in 2022
New course aims to train next generation of data scientists
“Ogihara and Bonnell chose to use R because it is attuned to statistical analysis and, by incorporating an increasingly popular collection of tools in R called tidyverse, students can easily learn how to process, wrangle, transform, and model data on their own, too.”

R and Python play a crucial role in handling and manipulating the data. Many beginners find it difficult to shift from Python to R or vice-versa in such requirements. This will help the beginners to understand the differences and also help them switch in between.
