Inspired from a mail that came along the previous random generation post the following question rised : How to draw random variates from the Von Mises distribution? First of all let’s check the pdf of the probability rule, it is , for . Ok, I admit that Bessels functions can be a bit frightening, but
A lot of us know about Sweave and Latex and they work very well in creating elegant dynamic reports from R computation. However, sometimes we would like to also produce a word processing document for a colleague or a html version of the same report. Now there are tools for producing these like odfWeave. But
Matlab and R are two popular languages for data analysis and visualization. The similarity between the two languages is high. Both are interpreted languages that run in a shell-like environment (while also allowing to run scripts or functions written off-line). Both tend to be slow if your code contains many loops but are fast when
Meteorologist Joe Bastardi recently made a video asking “…how the heck does it get this warm and yet we are back to normal global sea ice extent in the Northern Hemisphere?”. In this post I show how Joe misread the … Continue reading 
Here is a small update to the Donchian Channel type system I displayed in the last post.Fig 1. Sensitivity of Net Combined L/S Gain to parameter n.Using the S&P500 index as a proxy for the market, a simulation was run over the lifetime of the index. No...

OK, let's say you want to create a plot and you need an easy way to specify where along the scale your tick marks and labels land, as opposed to having R just decide itself. An easy way to do that is to create a vector and assign the axis characteristi...
