Anyone have experience with #RSelenium and automating a browser or experience automated browser period with #R

Is it just me or is RSelenium difficult?

Does anyone have experience printing tactile graphs produced in R with Braille labels on an embosser? Trying to do this seems straightforward but... has not been smooth. #r #accessibility

Any #DataScience people here?

I have a huge #BeaconDB dataset here, recorded with #NeoStumbler.

I would like to play around with it a bit, display densities of radio devices on a map.

I know #QGis, is it reasonably easy to import a CSV file there, assign the coordinates to some columns etc?

Alternatively I know a bit of #R, but #RStudio is #Electron now, so that could get a hassle XD

Btw, there is a #Fedora #COPR for R-Cran packages, how is the situation on #NixOS?

Interesting data on LLM performance in R coding from @simonpcouch

Note: Not only is OpenAI's o4-mini slightly better than long-time favorite Anthropic Claude Sonnet in these tests, but it's about 3X cheaper
o4-mini: $1.10 input $4.40 output
Claude 3.7 Sonnet: $3 input $15 output

Getting the medical policies

#statstab #324 Information loss due to dichotomization of the outcome of clinical trials. Also it costs more!

Thoughts: Killing the variance in your outcome measure is *not* data transformation.

I'm trying to download pdf's of medical policy but having issues, anyone?

Latest {ragnar} #RStats version now has a very useful viewer to browse and search the duckdb vector store!

I'm having fun with this #R RAG ! Thank you @t_kalinowski and @dfalbel (and @Posit )

#statstab #323 Counterfactuals and G-Computation

Thoughts: Even {emmeans} can do funky stuff for observational studies, if that is your fancy.
