This post will eventually grow to hold a wide list of books on statistics (e-books, pdf books and so on) that are available for free download. But for now we’ll start off with just one several books: The Elements of Statistical Learning written by Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani and Jerome Friedman. you can legally download

Example 7.16: assess robustness of permutation test to violations of exchangeability assumption
Permutation tests (section 2.4.3) are a form of resampling based inference that can be used to compare two groups. A simple univariate two-group permutation test requires that the group labels for the observations are exchangeable under the null hypothesis of equal distributions, but allows relaxation of specific distributional assumptions required by parametric procedures such as the t-test (

This post lists a few data mining resources in R. I also provide a few observations on the distinction between data mining, data analysis, and statistics as it pertains to the analysis work that I do in psychology.Online ResourcesThe classic book The E...
RSPerl : Using R from within Perl
Some things I write in perl some in R, sometime I use perl to write R and run R. One thing that I find very useful is the functionality of RSPerl which enables you to call R functions from within perl and on perl variables. It can also call perl from R, though I have no idea why...

From ORD Sessions to R-Forge in 12 hours with RProtoBuf
Yesterday, via in invitation from fellow Chicago-area Google Summer of Code mentor Borja Sotomayor, I attended the Second ORD Sessions. These are happening at the HQ of Inventable where a couple of technologists and Open Source geeks from the Chicagoland area get together and riff on code for a few hours after work over some pizza and beer.
Sounded good, and I...
