@thomasp85 Is saving ggplots to RDS files in general a bad idea? (e.g. to later load in a Rmd.) Or just a problem if doing it inside a package?
New blog post: How I produce ‘publication ready’ tables and figures using R neilwright.uk/posts/tables-a… #RStats #rmarkdown

😯 TIL (courtesy of @thomasp85) you can access the defaults for any {ggplot2} geom using the default_aes field (i.e. GeomBlah$default_aes). #rstats code in a gist: buff.ly/3CKkuH6
I decided to give #quartopub a go by updating my website (now with blog posts). A very slick and easy experience. 👍 neilwright.uk
Richard Doll's landmark study was the first to show an association between #smoking and #lungcancer in 1956 New studies are continuing this important work on a global scale Find out more 👉 ctsu.ox.ac.uk/research/smoki… #NoTobaccoDay 🚭 @UniofOxford
I find animations useful to teach metrics to undergrads. I believe it improves understanding to see what goes on. Here is a thread with my favorite GIFs, most of them are re-makes of stuff from #EconTwitter.
This is a weird mistake.
We just learned that President Biden’s first year in office was the strongest year for economic growth since 1984.
Important work by @Christiana_K_ and colleagues showing circulating proteins associated with development of pancreatic cancer, an under-studied disease that has a high mortality. Many thanks to @PancreaticCanUK @CRUKresearch and @Oxford_NDPH for supporting our work.

Among much else, I often recall his contribution to this session on P-values at the RSS conference in 2016: youtu.be/B7mvbOK1ipA?t=… (I can be seen listening *intently* in the audience.)
We're deeply saddened to learn of the death of Sir David Cox, a giant of statistics and a dear friend, supporter, and past president of the RSS.
I've said/done this before, but again: the BMJ Statistics Notes series from the mid-late 1990's really give some nice, neat little examples to help explain tricky concepts with statistics in medicine, and I try to read through one or two every week...
Join us on Monday at 10am at @CFECMStatistics to hear from Bronner Gonçalves, @emman_dankwa, @NeilStats on various topics in biostatistics (Session EO196, Virtual R20)
Niche but very-useful-that-one-time-you-need-it #rstats function I learned of today: as.roman()
As a kind service I have prepared this simple illustration. Showing my usual tact and discretion, I have decided not to name the community of data-analysis in particular need of this. Next week: "The meaning of 'multivariate' for dummies."
The "round" function uses the "round-to-even" rule. round(3.5) and round(4.5) are both 4 rdocumentation.org/packages/base/… #rstats
This paper is firmly in my 'favourites' folder for much future reference: Making apples from oranges: Comparing noncollapsible effect estimators and their standard errors after adjustment for different covariate sets onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bi…
@HamedZakerzadeh @ValirieAgbor ckbplotr essentially uses ggplot2's geom_point(), geom_errorbar() and geom_text() to create forest plots - so you could create your own using ggplot2. forest.meta() in the meta package could also be used, or other packages in some other replies.
