I am pleased to announce that clitable, my new R package for printing tables in the terminal, just made its way to the CRAN!! It lets you print pretty colorful tables directly in the R console or terminal. I am also quite proud that it was accep...

In this article, we executed a successful integration of a non-standard Python forecasting model into the R Tidyverse/Tidymodels framework, primarily leveraging the reticulate package. 1. The Objective (The Challenge) The goal was to utilize a powerful, custom Python model (nnetsauce‘s MTS wrapper around a cyb$BoosterRegressor) and integrate its ...

Introduction In the previous posts in this series (Using R in Excel) I have demonstrated some basic use-cases where using R in Excel is useful. Specifically we have looked at descriptive statistics, linear regression, forecasting, and calling Python. I...
