Hey, new to the Fediverse and thought I would put this out there.

If you teach stats or use stats in your job, you might be interested in using my GUI for R. I hope this doesn't count as an ad, since it is free.

I like how versatile R is, but I hate remembering how to type in what I already know it can do.

So I wrote an app.

You can tell I am not a programmer or a computer scientist (I am an engineer, industrial researcher and occasional teacher) but it works to do the basic to the moderate stats you probably use all the time.

It is free. I just put some of my blog posts and books on the splash page. If you register I only send you info about the app.

Let me know if you would like any enhancements. I continue to add stuff to it until I can do most of what the practical researcher would need.

Internal emails highlight how an advertising company can use its in-house resources to oppose public policy proposals.

One of the world’s largest advertising firms is crafting a campaign to thwart a California bill intended to enhance people’s control over the data that companies collect on them.

According to emails obtained by POLITICO, the Interpublic Group is coordinating an effort against a bill that would make it easier for people to request that data brokers — firms that collect and sell personal information — delete their dossiers.

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that she plans to put serious limits over how sensitive evidence is handled in the Donald Trump 2020 election interference case, in a dramatic hearing Friday in Washington, DC, that could set the tone for the upcoming trial.

The former president has a right to free speech, but that right is “not absolute,” Chutkan said. “Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech, but that right is not absolute. In a criminal case such as this one, the defendant’s free speech is subject to the rules.”

I can't figure it out.
