Luis Apiolaza<p>I like these two little books: Bulmer 1979 Principles of statistics and Fox 2009 A mathematical primer for social statistics. </p><p>They are small format, soft cover, with unpretentious design. They deliver what they promise. </p><p>And Bulmer is the same guy of Bulmer Effect in quantitative genetics.

Eamon<p>Pulled off a lazy <a href="https://social.coop/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RStats</span></a> hack today: I put a simple anonymous function inside a call to `base::Vectorize` to avoid writing a loop inside my function definition.

Anatoly Tsyplenkov<p>Hey, a tricky (or maybe not) <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> question: how can I add an R package dependency as “Imports” if that package is not available on CRAN, but present on R-Universe? For example, I see that {tidypolars} by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@etiennebacher" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>etiennebacher</span></a></span> depends on {polars}, but the DESCRIPTION file looks normal to me. Does the Sys.setenv(NOT_CRAN = "true") call before install.packages() do the trick? Both packages are on R-Universe</p>
