Oliver D. Reithmaier<p>Imho, when it comes to likert-type data, the only reasonable way to make nil-hypotheses tests (like in standard regression outputs) semantically meaningful is to center the data beforehand. Not standardizing, most people can't read that correctly. <br>If you center, you can always interpret deviation from the mean, which is somewhat of a built-in feature, considering it is the backbone of estimation in many cases. <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/stats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stats</span></a></p>

Dan<p>So I'll totally post this on the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@Posit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Posit</span></a></span> community forum, but thought the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a> crowd here might have some ideas... about this potentially daft question.</p><p>So I'm pretty new to using Posit Connect. All seems pretty straight forward, but I'm not an admin so hard to tell exactly what is going on or might have been borked in setting it up.</p><p>The problem is, I can deploy a .rmd document with source code and have it schedule, and I can render everything locally fine, but if I try to deploy a quarto doc with source code it fails saying there is no rmarkdown package, which seems... weird. But this screenshot from the console make me think there should be a universal install of knitr/rmarkdown on the server maybe?</p><p>Do I just need to get an admin to install the packages? It seems so weird because packages (including knitr/rmarkdown) seem to be installing in the deploy process...</p>
