The version there is 1.3 and I’ve completed some testing with the help of David Vavra. The result of that is version 1.5 which is available here at the drop box. I’ll be posting that 
Do you have tens of histograms to show but no room to put them all on the page? As I was reading this paper in Nature Genetics, I came across a simple and clever way of packing all this information … Continue reading →
This is the fourth post in the series about Multiple Factor Models. I will build on the code presented in the prior post, Multiple Factor Model – Building CSFB Factors, and I will show how to build a multiple factor risk model. For an example of the multiple factor risk models, please read following references: 
Lately I have been rather productive in my programming and frustrated at the same time. Trying to solve the problems of creating a demographics summary table proved to be a lesson in frustration with R. Since I love R, this was disheartening.
