Introduction
Naming a baby can be a difficult task. It can take - soon to be - parents quite some time to align
on a name they both like. Afterwards it can also be challenging to keep the name a secret until
birth.
If you are lucky, there might be ...

The more I use LLMs for programming, the more it seems to me that they can only be used successfully if you ask them to do things that you could do yourself.
This seems to be the case because:
you know exactly what you want/need and thus ...

The eagle-eyed among you might have noticed in recent months updated wording on our pharmaverse charter and generally across our website to generalize our scope to “open-source software packages and codebases”.
As par...
One Hundred seventy-six new packages made it to CRAN in May. Here are my Top 40 picks in eighteen categories: Climate Science, Computational Methods, Data, Decision Analysis, Ecology, Epidemiology, Finance, Genomics, Machine Learning, Medicine, ...
Beyond just plotting points on a chart, how can you transform a simple ggplot dotplot into a powerful narrative tool that reveals the hidden stories within your data's distribution, all while avoiding the common pitfalls of visual clutter and misinterpretation?
A ggplot dotplot is a powerful data visualisation tool within ...
