Beyond pleased that my `igcop` #rstats package is now on #CRAN! I discovered this #copula family during my PhD. Its use? When Y gets riskier and riskier as X increases. igcop.netlify.app

When I first learned #rstats, I was aghast that there were TWO types of 1D arrays: (atomic) #vectors and #lists! I now have a YouTube video on this. 🤓 youtu.be/nJgrDoCENBI #stat545

Now this -- yet more evidence that we need to step up our efforts to be inclusive in a big way.

#ThisMatters: This was a personal one. A cathartic episode too, where @EVYSTADIUM and I (and Sean, our audio engineer/producer) talked about how quickly Chinese Canadians are seen as the “Other” in a moment of crisis like the pandemic thestar.com/podcasts/thism

Even if you think you are inclusive, you very well might not be.
Here is actionable advice for those in academia to promote inclusion: medium.com/the-faculty/wh

For me, solving programming problems using the #tidyverse just *feels* more fun/satisfying than in base #rstats. But I can’t articulate exactly why. Anyone with similar thoughts, or helpful insights?
