Didn't know this specific reasoning for the term 'splines' in regression, but it makes a lot of sense!

For this week's #TidyTuesday I explored the "lesser spotted" birds in the Project FeederWatch dataset... and also learnt that that's not what lesser spotted means.

I had wanted to add one of these plots to my portfolio for a while!

This week we continue our series on end-to-end #testing with {shinytest2}!

✨ In part 2 of the series, we will write a simple #RShiny app (as an #RStats package) and show how to generate tests for this app using {shinytest2} ✨

This week's #TidyTuesday data is from FeederWatch, a citizen science program that asks participants to identify and count the birds that visit the area around their home.

The new {eyedroppeR} package from @danoehm lets you pick colours from any image and return the hex in #RStats!

• Write a digestible summary of a new #datascience research paper: https://realworlddatascience.net/contributor-docs/datasciencebites.html

A catch up on one of last year's data sets from R's bakeoff package, which has a lot of data on The Great British Bake Off. Bakers have learned that chocolate and hot tents don't mix, but citrus fruit and ginger does.

@_jcken my protanopic eyes find the text colour on this really hard to read!
Here's what I'm told is a simulation of what I see

#TidyTuesday week 52: Star Trek 🖖

Almost 60% of Star Trek narratives occur between the years 2351 and 2380

✅ A full year of Tidy Tuesday complete!

I made an example of how implementations of user defined probability functions in Stan can be tested in the generated quantities block. This is a much faster and easier approach to see implementation errors than by running MCMC.
