Y'all know I'm right.
We need more idiots on mastodon.
Statistical illiteracy is a university promoting de facto citation rings among senior academics in the same institution and pretending those are independent observations when bragging about their top cited scientists.
Sharon MachlisThe {tsbox} #rstats 📦 lets you work with time series data in any class:
* “Convert everything to everything - ts, xts, data.frame, data.table, tibble, zoo, zooreg, tsibble, tibbletime, timeSeries, irts or tis to each other“
* “ Helper functions make it easy to combine or align multiple time series of all classes”
* “Plotting all kinds of classes and frequencies is as simple as it should be. And we finally get a legend!”

Everybody's backyard
John Tukey said that the best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone’s backyard. It’s a great quote. While it more obviously reflects the tendency of applied statisticians (defined broadly) to be involved in lots of studies, it also captures something about statisticians that is often missed - that we are also scientists, delighted in the pursuit of new knowledge.

Chris Chambers10 years after we created Registered Reports, the thing critics assured us would never (in a million years) happen has happened: @Nature is offering them.
The Registered Reports initiative just went up a gear and we are one step closer to eradicating publication bias and reporting bias from science.
Congratulations to all involved in achieving this milestone.

Peter EllisSome months ago after a Twitter exchange I learned some stuff about analysing simplex data - where the rows are constrained to add up to 1, data like soil composition, time use composition, etc. I have now written an #rstats blog post about what I have learned about the standard process of transforming, centering and rotating such data before visualisation or other analysis: http://freerangestats.info/blog/2023/02/25/ilr
