Been playing around in R for a while and then a bit in the GIS environment - within R of course. Do not know very much about GIS, but know what I want: Looking at GIS fisheries data across various scales (macro to global). Now we have myriads of websit...
I’ve been using Graphviz to create better decision tree graphics “by hand” for rpart objects created in R (final tree). I stumbled on this post that shows how one could convert an rpart object to a party project via the as.party function in partykit to utilize the plot functions in party. It looks quite nice....

Chemometric software´s have the option to export a matrix to a TXT file (in this case a constituents matrix), in a way we can import it easily into R, to work with. It is the first step to go into the R world.I use in this case Win ISI Soft...

In this series of three posts, we’ll look at colours in R graphics produced with ggplot2: what are the available choices of colour schemes, and how to choose a colour palette most suitable for a particular graphic? In kindergarten, choosing a co...
Nick has a paper in the American Statistician warning about bias in multiple imputation arising from rounding data imputed under a normal assumption. One example where you might run afoul of this is if the data are truly dichotomous or count variables, but you model it as normal (either because your software is unable to model dichotomous...
I just noticed that Markus Gesmann has a nice post on using RStudio, knitr, Pandoc, and Slidy to create slideshows. After my recent attempt to use deck.rb to turn a Markdown/knitr file into a deck.js presentation I caved in and also decided to go with ...
Tonight I will give a talk at the Cambridge R user group about googleVis. Following my good experience with knitr and RStudio to create interactive reports, I thought that I should try to create the slides in the same way as well. Christopher Gandrud's...
