#NowReading — Writing #RStats Extensions.

[Notes on terminology]
"A package is not a library."
Library refers to:
- "A directory into which packages are installed"
- "That used by the operating system, as a shared, dynamic or static library or (especially on Windows) a DLL, where the second L stands for ‘library’."
"Installation takes a source package and installs it in a library using R CMD INSTALL or install.packages."
"Source packages can be built. This involves taking a source directory and creating a tarball ready for distribution"

What does one get when mindlessly applying logistic regression to a too small dataset? Well…

[thread]
Just to be clear, I have zero interest in shaming these authors. Small sample logistic regression analyses are very common! But for those of you interested here is the link: journalacs.org/article/S1072-…
“The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of medical student placement of Foley catheters on rates of postoperative catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI)”.

Getting ready to teach dplyr joins to new #rstats users tomorrow, so naturally I productively procrastinated by getting to know the new gganimate. It is the coolest!
The readme is a great intro -- github.com/thomasp85/ggan…. I basically just replaced `+facet_wrap(~ key)` with `+transition_states(key)`.
I really like how easily the gganimate calls fit in with the ggplot pipeline. It's very clear @thomasp85 put a lot of thought and care into the API design.

1-I need to look into what triggers shills to come to my account and why. Because when they do, they all seem to concentrate in the same posts and have (allgegdly) no connection to each other.
What's more, #memes seem to trigger them and not posts per se.
& specific #hashtags
2- @CIA and other shills are DICKS. you know why? Cos you are all morons enough to come at the same time and concentrate in the same FUCKING post?
Are you seriously that dumb?
I don't need a degree to teach u the basics of stealth and concealment,but apparently you need a lesson
3-So here is the lessons:
-If you want to seem genuine, you need to come at me at different times and concentrating on different posts.
-If you all come at me at once (pretending not to know each other) and talking about the same post, I know are all FUCKING SHILLS

So folks, what package would you recommend for paralellising code in R?
I thought this would be simple based on previous experience with parallelising code but I am quickly realising it is not going to be simple. Blargh.
I have had a total turnaround and now think I do not need the paralell package.

I hope you are all enjoying this live commentary on the realities of science.
