Andrej Blejec has a very nice R demo of Galton's quincunx (link1, link2). It is a bit tedious to copy the code from PDF to R console, but it is worth the effort as the demo simulation clearly shows the nature of quincunx. After a bit of search I also f...

IowaHawk has a excellent article attempting to reproduce the infamous CRU climate graph using OpenOffice: Fables of the Reconstruction. We thought we would show how to produced similarly bad results using R. If the re-constructed technique is close to what was originally done then so many bad moves were taken that you can’t learn much Related posts:
Until recently, I’ve never had any reason to learn how to define my own classes in R. Having learned this week, I was surprised to find out how easy it is to start implementing classes in R. If you know nothing about creating classes and class methods in R, here’s a very quick overview of
Probably all of us have met the issue of handling missing data, from the basic portfolio correlation matrix estimation, to advanced multiple factor analysis, how to impute missing data remains a hot topic. Missing data are unavoidable, and more encompassing than the ubiquitous association of the term, irgoring missing data will generally lead to biased estimates. The...
I would like to suggest to my readers to take a look and bookmark a new blog named R-bloggers which aims to be "a central hub of content collected from bloggers who write about R".It seems a nice idea to me to have a centralized source of information f...

A bar graph is a frequently used type of display that compares counts, frequencies, totals or other summary measures for a series of categories, e.g. sales in different market sectors or in quarters in a financial year. The bar graph can be laid out with the categories either on the vertical or horizontal axis of
When looking around on Amazon, I found that “Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R” was associated with another very recently published (same day as ours!) book, “Understanding Computational Bayesian Statistics“, by William Bolstad, that seems to mostly cover the same ground as us (with some connections with Bayesian Core for prior modelling in regression and 
I've pushed to CRAN the package bibtex package The package defines the read.bib function that reads a file in the bibtex format. The code is based on bibparse The read.bib function generates an object of class citationList, just like utils::citation
