2022-02-04 - Invited Lecture at FSTA 2022
I’m giving (online…) an invited lecture at FSTA 2022 today entitled Clustering and aggregation, where we will examine a few scenarios where aggregation methods can aid in the construction, analysis, and evaluation of tools related to data clustering, including linkage criteria, partition similarity measures, and cluster validity indices. We’ll also indicate some noteworthy challenges for both theoretical and practical future research endeavours.

2021-07-29 - stringx: Drop-in replacements for base R string functions powered by stringi
English is the native language for only 5% of the World population. Also, only 17% of us can understand this text. Moreover, the Latin alphabet is the main one for merely 36% of the total. The early computer era, now a very long time ago, was dominated by the US. Due to the proliferation of the internet, smartphones, social media, and other technologies and communication platforms, this is no longer the case. The stringx package replaces base R string functions (such as
grep(),tolower(), andsprintf()) with ones that fully support the Unicode standards related to natural language processing, fixes some long-standing inconsistencies, and introduces some new, useful features. Thanks to ICU (International Components for Unicode) and stringi, they are fast, reliable, and portable across different platforms. Now available from CRAN.2021-07-14 - stringi 1.7.2
Another major update of stringi brings a rewritten version of
stri_sprintf, support for custom rule-based transliteration, extraction of named regex capture groups, and many other enhancements.2021-06-17 - realtest 0.2.1 on CRAN
An update to realtest is now available.
2021-06-04 - realtest: When Expectations Meet Reality: Realistic Unit Testing in R
