While looking for an online computing provider, I bumped into OpenCPU.org: OpenCPU is a new initiative to make innovations in statistics, visualization and data-science more widely applicable. I guess the idea of online analysis and visualization, and online cloud R computing platform isn’t really new at this point anymore, but the real incentive is the
At last month's useR! 2011 conference at Warwick University, there were two talks on the RevoScaleR package for big data statistics in R. The first was a keynote presentation from Revolution Analytics' Chief Scientist, Lee Edlefsen. Here is the overview of his talk, Scalable Data Analysis in R: For the past several decades the rising tide of technology --...
tl;dr See this movie visualization for a case study on how a post propagates through Quora. How does information spread through a network? Much of Quora’s appeal, after all, lies in its social graph — and when you’ve got a network of users, all broadcasting their activities to their neighbors, information can cascade in multiple 
Check them out. Here are thirty homoskedastic ones: > homo.wiener for (j in 1:30) { for (i in 2:length(homo.wiener)) { homo.wiener for (j in 1:30) { plot( homo.wiener, type = "l", col = rgb(.1,....

The post is officially up on the StatDNA blog. Go check it out.As I said in my previous post, this is a very rough and preliminary model. This is why my work was not any sort of formal entry, just some fun with some great data.I used an Vector Genera...
Capabilities of R are definitely unless! After my previous posts about some easy image editing in R (they are here, and here), now is the time to explore if R is capable of sound editing!
Just for fun, here I created a function that receives a phone number (or another sequence of numbers), and returns the equivalent melody...
Today, programmers have to deal with multi-core and multi-computer technologies. Several people claim that software developers are far behind hardware technologies. My two favorite posts for this statement are Editor’s Desk: Software Lags Behind Hardware, But That’s a Good Thing A Hacker’s Craic -Why is software so far behind hardware? Parallel computing is not that
In Using Google Spreadsheets as a Database Source for R, I described a simple Google function for pulling data into R from a Google Visualization/Chart tools API query language query applied to a Google spreadsheet, given the spreadsheet key and worksheet ID. But how do you get a list of sheets in spreadsheet, without opening 
Like every year, August sees the thousands taking part in the Perth City to Surf, and with that comes the chance for some stats. Why? Curiosity more than anything, and to convince myself that my time in the 12km run … Continue reading →
