Looking for ideas for building a little #Rstats function.

Let's say I asked a bunch of people if they felt older, younger, or the same age as half a dozen randomly-selected ages.

Let's say that because that's what I did.

Example: Jane is asked this question about ages 17, 19, 25, 38, 41, and 52.

Each person answers younger/same/older to each of the ages (each person also gets a different selection of ages to answer).

Ultimately, I want to use those answers to get an estimate of the age each person feels. First, however, I want to see how numerically consistent each person's answers are.

Examples: if Jane said
17: older
19: older
25: older
38: same age
41: younger
52: younger

That's numerically consistent. However, if she said

17: older
19: younger
25: older
38: same age
41: older
52: younger

that's not consistent (she can't be both younger than 19 and older than 41).

It's also consistent if she said she felt younger than all the ages or older than all of them.

Maybe because it's late or maybe because I'm slow, I'm having a hard time approaching this. I'll leave it on the back burner for a couple of days since it's late where I am and I won't have time for it tomorrow.

If any of y'all (and many of you are ridiculously more quantitatively skilled than I am) have ideas of how to approach a function for this, or -- even better -- if a solution already exists as a formula or something, lay it on me. I'll be in your debt*.

(pandas cont'd) For #rstats users, the DataFrame name will be familiar, as the object was named after the similar R data.frame object. Unlike Python, data frames are built into the R programming language and its standard library. As a result, many features found in pandas are typically either part of the R core implementation or provided by add-on packages

matplotlib. Yhe most popular Python library for producing plots and other two-dimensional #datavisualization or #dataviz

IPython & Jupyter

every now and then I try to explain how all my generative art comes from a place of extremely raw emotion. yes, it's usually an #rstats script that does the work, but... it's not like normal programming or analysis, it's something else. anyway. this one. this piece is exactly that - for a thousand different reasons I've been really moody and messy the last month or so and *this* is what my code does when that happens

R Weekly HighlightsIssue 2025-W14 HighlightsBy some minor miracle (even on April Fools) the R Weekly Highlights podcast has made it to episode 200! We go "virtual" shopping for LLM-powered text…

Maybe Shiny is playing an April Fools trick on me? My R Shiny app works fine in RStudio *on my Shiny Web server* but not at its URL. All my other Shiny apps work fine on that server at their URLs. Sigh. Don't see anything useful in my logs.
The app will work on shinyapps.io so I guess that's what I'll use meanwhile.

I've finished an audiobook version of my #statistics textbook for biological and environmental sciences with #jamovi -- all free and available on my website and Spotify (bradduthie.github.io/audiobook). I initially underestimated how much my own students would want this, so my hope is that others my benefit from it.
