As a coincidence, while I was waiting for the solution to puzzle #737 published this Friday in Le Monde, the delivery (wo)man forgot to include the weekend magazine and I had to buy it this morning with my baguette (as if anyone cares!). The solution is (y0,z0,w0)=(38,40,46) and…it does not work! The value of (x1,y1,z1,w1) is 
My boss sent me an email (on my day off!) asking me just how much of R is written in the R language. This is very simple if you use R and a Unix-like system. It also gives me a good excuse to defend the title of this blog. It’s librestats, not projecteulerstats, afterall. So 
The rdatamarket post on the Revolutions blog and this post on Decision Stats reminded me about my list of Data APIs/feeds available as packages in R on Cross-Validated (which is a great site that you all should use). Many of these packa...
If you missed this week's webinar, the slides from my presentation Revolution R Enteprise: 100% R and More may be useful as an introduction to R and the additional capabilities of Revolution R Enterprise. The slides themselves and the replay video are also available for download from the link below. Revolution Analytics webinars: Revolution R Enterprise: 100% R and...

Last week I talked about our editrules package at the useR!2011 conference. In the coming time I plan to write a short series of blogs about the functionality of editrules. Below I describe the eliminate and isFeasible functions. But first: … Continue reading →

Something I’m missing from R (especially coming from Mathematica) is the ability to quickly build interactive graphs, which I find very useful for getting a good intuition of the impact of parameters on a mathematical function. Richie Cotton’s post about … Continue reading →
