The full R+AI 2026 schedule is up and it is a good one!

Nov 10–11. 100% online. Keynotes, talks, lightning talks, a workshop, and a tutorial.

A taste: statistical thinking when AI writes the code, agents in R, private AI for sensitive data, and shipping R models to production.

A pharmacometric fit can take minutes to weeks. nlmixr2save 0.2.0, now on CRAN, keeps the fit readable and skips the rerun when nothing changed.

A fit is the saved result of estimating a drug model against observed data.

saveFit() stores it as R source and CSV in one zip. := reruns only when the model, data, or settings change. Same material on the ACoP 2026 poster. 7-minute walkthrough in the post.

nlmixr2 is an open source R ecosystem for nonlinear mixed-effects modeling and pharmacometrics.

Matthew Fidler shows how a fitted model can generate its own compartment diagram and equations, so the figure and the math in a report stay aligned with the code.
