🥳@Windows machine learning engineers: rejoice! GPUs are now readily accessible via WSL:

I am hiring two #postdoctoral fellows in #DataScience #Education. One position is to teach in the @UBCMDS grad program, another is to help develop undergrad courses @UBC. We are building a passionate & excellent #DataScience educator team here, join us! https://t.co/uEyghjwe0f

It feels strange to post this now, but I needed a win. Our Data Analytics course just won an award! Chuffed, because I did not nominate myself, and grateful for the multiple nominations from our students. Thank you so much!

The second in our series of webinars with @techoregon is happening tomorrow! Tune in to learn how the Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program at @uoregon is training small cohorts of students in hands-on data science. Get the details and register:

New blog post! Exploring gradient descent with linear regression. I program an algorithm from scratch in #rstats, and end up producing gifs like this, showing how the algorithm learns! #MachineLearning #ML https://t.co/dxy9TavX9g

Introducing 'dplyr-cli' - a method for manipulating CSV files in bash/shell/terminal using #dplyr Ever wanted to run a quick filter on a CSV file in the terminal without switching to #RStats? 'dplyr-cli' is for you! github: https://t.co/YY3Ql36gGF post: https://t.co/sS7nCnZpJb

CRAN is currently in the process of migrating the default toolchain for R 4.0 on Windows to the new rtools40 (gcc-8). There may be a bit of disruption while everything is being synchronized...

Verbal description: 0) Install your preferred WSL distro, e.g. Ubuntu 1) In RStudio: "Tools > Terminal > Terminal Options" 2) In the dropdown menu for "New terminals open with", select "Bash (Windows Subsystem for Linux)" 3) Refresh your RStudio Terminal (Alt+Shift+R) 4) Profit

The new dplyr::relocate() function is for those of you who spend far too much time retyping column orders in dplyr::select() because your boss has data-OCD - or you do :) #rstats #r4ds #datascience #tidyverse

It's official! Data science is set to debut as @uoregon's newest major this fall. 🎓 View degree requirements and information on applying for the major: https://t.co/HJiolZinKh

My paper w/ @mijkenijk on how to conduct power analysis to detect a target effect in SEM (e.g., between latent factors) is in press at AMPPS! https://t.co/OEbF2kIBdv With it, I am excited to introduce pwrSEM, an app for SEM power analysis: https://t.co/FkUnuRE1sY Thread: 1/13

Introducing {ggpattern} - pattern & image fills for #ggplot Heaps of fun! Bedazzle those plots! My fav: placeholder kittens! code: https://t.co/z5R7GgNLtl Plenty of examples/vignettes are on display on the pkg site: https://t.co/3ZZ0J0c2qQ #RStats #ggpattern

The @RStudio @TensorFlow blog is getting a new name! Can't wait to share new features and projects with #rstats, stay tuned! -- https://t.co/TVyyclpc9V

In teaching some intro-to-ML stuff, I've noticed that there's not a nice automated way to visualize decision tree partitions in #ggplot2. So I packaged up some simple functions in my spare time (ha ha, I know). Feel free to kick the tyres. https://t.co/5bi4oR88ZB #rstats

Come join the conversation! R Consortium has started a new Slack channel to discuss COVID-19 related data visualizations tools and projects -

Online Causal Inference Seminar starts next Tues!

We're going to have an online Tidy Tuesday coding club event on April 8. Come and work on visualizing a dataset together!
