The intersection of mapping APIs, fast database operations and user engagement offers a lot of very cool crowdsourcing applications ranging from the benign and powerful (Google’s Person Finder) to the minor and questionable (A DUI checkpoints app). Most intriguing in … Continue reading →
I'm working on a project using next-gen sequencing to fine-map a genetic association in a gene region. Now that I've sequenced the region in a small sample, I'm picking SNPs to genotype in a larger sample. When designing the genotyping assay the lab wi...

Tim Hesterberg has effectively argued for a larger role for resampling based inference in introductory statistics courses (and statistical practice more generally). While the Central Limit Theorem is a glorious result, and the Student t-test remarkabl...
R 2.13.0 will be released tomorrow. It contains a new package by R Core member Luke Tierney: compiler. What a simple and straightforward name, and something that Luke has been working on for several years. The NEWS file says
o Package compiler is now provided as a standard package. See

Hi,in these days I'm creating lots and lots of box plot with ggplot2.The look of them is really good and you can change every bit of code so that you can customize the plot completely.Here is the code I'm using with a test data file to try it:BoxPlot.z...

And as usual, I always want a longer data set, so after a little playing with R-Excel, we can extend our historical sources of bond returns to 1919. If nothing else, maybe you can find other uses for the Shiller Dataset in R. From TimelyPort...
