Too much code.

https://sites.google.com/site/laurentrberge/
Among the new features:
- new builtin VCOV: HC2 aand HC3 (thanks to Kyle Butts!)
- new function sparse_model_matrix
- improved internal algorithms
- coefplot/iplot become similar to etable
- batched estimations are easier to make

& many many more, check out the news file!

Hey, I'm new developing a package to make reproductibility easy.

It's rmake!

Contrary to {targets}, you don't need to set up anything, it is all automatic!

So you can have modular code while writing in a single script!!!

Just gave a presentation a the REGIS summer school we organised in Bordeaux.

Algorithms for empirical research

Slides and material here: github.com/lrberge/2025...

The conclusion is that, even in the age of AI, using your brain is still relevant!

Nice post!

I honestly find it waaay easier and intuitive in pure base R (w/t tidy slop, with all due respect! :-))

I also teach this kind of things, but in pure base R, and the students (not all of course) usually quickly grasp how to do and expand the approach.

Indeed, it's still there!

Thanks correcting my mistake!

That's really huge.

FYI, it's very likely fake.

Damn Kyle, I just checked: it's a lot of fooling around :-D

No kidding: that's pretty cool!

Example: I wanted to duplicate a document (for a quizz, to have twice the same quizz on the same sheet when printing 2 pages per sheet => you agree that's an unusual request).

A few lines of code and... boom it works.

Once you get the (weird) logic, it just works and that's just great.
