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

## Using R + Bioconductor to Get Flanking Sequence Given Genomic Coordinates

April 12, 2011
By

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...

## Example 8.34: lack of robustness of t test with small n

April 12, 2011
By

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...

## Wilcox’s Robust Statistics: A new R package

April 12, 2011
By

Recently I started to build a new package for R containing Wilcox’ collection of functions for robust statistics. Wilcox provides 700+ functions for robust statistics, including: robust correlations (e.g. percentage bend correlation) robust measures of location and mean differences (e.g. … Continue reading

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...
