@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?

😯 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 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.

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...

If you click on the R hex icon in @rstudio's Files pane, it brings you back to the top-level folder of your Project, if you've navigated away. I use this all the time and I want to make sure you know about it. #rstats

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."

@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.
