I'm a postgraduate researcher, in adaptive clinical trial design methodology. It's quite a change from using occupancy modelling to look at marine mollusc range changes, but it's still #rstats and #bayesian.

Someone sorted it! Apparently you can put backticks around the whole function name (which does not display well in Mastodon on android, alas):

`tsum.minrep::accr` <- function(x) {
tsum(x@accrual)
}

More #rstats #s7 dispatch woes. Trying to write an S3 method for a S7 class which operates on an attribute which is an array, and also on an array directly. Can't use a S7 method because S7 doesn't have class_array(). Can't use the S3 method because I'm trying to follow best practice and export the class as package::class. Minrep on this stackoverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78989779/specifying-name-of-s3-method-on-s7-class-when-s7-class-is-exported-as-packagenam

Can anyone help?

Specifying name of S3 method on S7 class when S7 class is exported as packagename::class

This should be tagged r-S7 but I don't have enough reputation to create it. I am writing a package in {S7} and wish to follow the recommendation that classes exported from the package are exported ...

Does anyone here know a good way of making a 3d ternary plot of a surface in R? I'm guessing I may have to learn rayshader... #rstats

I can't seem to create an #S7 object that inherits from base class array or matrix, so unless I'm being spectacularly stupid (always an option) S7 won't do the job anyway; my data structures are irretrievably 3d #rstats

#S7 does just what I want, but dare I use it in anything that needs to be maintainable? OO R implementations get replaced so quickly. Is it better to just pretend the only options are #S3 and #S4? #rstats

Can anyone here tell me how to stop the #vscode #R linter highlighting lines where I define functions which have a na.rm argument, because it's not snake case? I've read as much as I could find about linter options but couldn't find the right one (camel case option yes, dot case no). The highlighted lines are distracting my brain ferrets, and I won't change the case of the option, because standards are a Thing.

But benchmarking dplyr::mutate() against apply and a for loop is making me rethink my strategy. I wanted the fewest dependencies but that difference is huge! Is there something else I should try? Data.table's next on my list #rstats #tidyverse

It's been a long time since I last wrote base #rstats instead of tidyverse. The linting in #vscode is teaching me some useful stuff.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... they got the #LastPass vaults (all of them? Some of them?). Still encrypted, but... They know what sites you had stored and your main email address so... That's not great. #InfoSec #MSP #SysAdmins #SysAdminNightmares

I am new to #VSCode, migrated from #RStudio because the latter's compatibility with the #Wacom tablet I use instead of a mouse (for disability reasons) has become completely untenable. I've added the R and R Debugger extensions, but I am still getting #linting issues with #ggplot2 code. Lots of "No visible binding for global variable" for column names and things like ..level.. specified in aes() statements. Does anyone know a fix?
