🚨 New paper and blog post together with my #gamlss colleagues.

Refuting "Debunking the GAMLSS Myth: Simplicity Reigns in Pulmonary Function Diagnostics"
(Letter to the editor of Respiratory Medicine)

📈 Blog post with replication #rstats code:

https://www.zeileis.org/news/undebunking/

I needed to do some text manipulation (reformat sample names) in R and it suddenly hit me that I can use regex capturing groups and write a on-liner. I was surprised that the default `base::gsub()` actually handled them without any issues:

```r
gsub(x = "Sample1_blah_Treatment2",
pattern = "^([\\w])\\w+(\\d+)_[^_]+_([\\w])\\w+(\\d+)",
replacement = "\\1\\2.\\3\\4",
perl = T)
```

> [1] "S1.T2"

My days of using Perl and learning regex is paying off 😅
