R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

• The “default” ("lm" etc) methods of vcov() have gained new optional argument complete = TRUE which makes the vcov() methods more consistent with the coef() methods in the case of singular designs. The former behavior is now achieved by vcov(*, complete=FALSE).

• The BioC extra repository which was dropped from BioC 3.6 has been removed from setRepositories(). This changes the mapping for 6-8 used by setRepositories(ind=).

How I picture what’s happening to my data every time I use %>% in #rstats pic.twitter.com/jYBTR4vMIj

I didn't realize that ggplot2's new map layer - geom_sf( ) - can do projection on the fly! Definitely a big time saver in #rstats. pic.twitter.com/JojeHCO3I2

Well this is a new R error on me: 'This should never happen' - doesn't seem good 😂 #rstats pic.twitter.com/p6fz2nRGEM
