While R is certainly a great tool, some functions seem to be missing. Take for instance the standard error, for some reason there is no standard function included, while you would expect se(x) to work. Therefore I usually include a couple of functions,...
Maximum likelihood estimation can be implemented like Quasi-maximum likelihood in Matlab, You can also write an R function which computes out the likelihood function. As always in R, this can be done in several different ways.One issue is that of rest...
Everything started with the article in the NYT talking about R – and of course – did mention SAS. Andrew Gelman picked up the article and posted his take on the matter. Maybe it are sentences like Andrew’s “And it’s good to hear that SAS is in trouble” and Anne H. Milley, director of technology product marketing

There are now many places where one can find "my" Sweave.sh shell script for running Sweave and post processing with LaTeX directly from the command line. I published first version of Sweave.sh here (web page of the department). Later I moved my pages ...
When you write a large structured document using LaTeX, it is wise to use \input{} and/or \include{} commands (see here for a nice description). However, you can not "fully" use these two commands with Sweave documents. You can use them, but when you w...
Version 0.1.2 of r (pronounced littler) was just rolled up.
This version adds two new command-line switches:
-t selects per-session temporary directories in the same way
as R does (with thanks to Paul Gilbert
for the suggestion), and
-q skips autoloading of default libraries at startup for another
small yet noticeable gain in startup speed (with thanks to Simon Urbanek).
As usual, our code in...
A couple of weeks ago, I finally took up running seriously. To keep myself motivated -- especially on dark winter nights -- I bought the Nike+ iPod sports kit. The sports kit was developed by a partnership of Nike and Apple, and consists of a tiny acce...
I came across a useful post showing how to generate error bars on plots in R Note that for bar plots with error bars, you can use the function barplot2 which is associated with the gplots package (click [ here … Continue reading →
