Attention R pirates! My book YaRrr! The Pirate's Guide to R bookdown.org/ndphillips/YaRr…, was written (almost) completely in old-school base-R -- with all its benefits and headaches. Should I write a new version that is full on #tidyverse? 100 comments = Yes 😃🏴‍☠️

Just published a fun little tutorial on my FFTrees R package for Data Camp that shows people how to use R to make simple, transparent decision rules from data, check it out here datacamp.com/community/tutor…!

Video from #useR2017 is live! See how to create simple decision rules with FFTrees channel9.msdn.com/events/use…

Just ran script on my first fully pre-registered project on @OSFramework and the very first p-value was 0.049! #realpvalue!

Slides from my presentation at #useR2017 on my FFTrees package online at goo.gl/mTWrSZ. Full video (hopefully) coming soon!

Found a hidden fast-and-frugal tree deciding if a president will be impeached for misconduct in the @NewYorker! FFTs everywhere!

I be spreading R piratery at #useR2017! Sadly no pirateplots yet!
