For some reason, I feel like have much better control with plot.xts function from the xtsExtra package described here over some of the other more refined R graphical packages. Maybe, it is just my simple mind, but recently I wanted to shade holding per...
The ETS modelling framework developed in my 2002 IJF paper (with Koehler, Snyder and Grose), and in my 2008 Springer book (with Koehler, Ord and Snyder), is now available in EViews 8. I had no idea they were even working on it, so it was quite a surprise to be told that EViews now includes ETS models. Here is the blurb...
Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been considering alternatives to R. I’d heard Python was much faster, so I translated a piece of R code with several nested loops into Python (it ran an order of magnitude faster). To find out more about Mathematica 9, I had an extended conversation with some representatives from Wolfram
The Shiny package provides great user interactivity and another boost to its attractiveness has come with its integration with googleVis.

At Tuesday's Data Driven Business Day at the Strata conference I gave my talk, Real-time Big Data Predictive Analytics: From Deployment to Production. My goal in the talk was to explain the buzz-phrases "real time", "big data" and "predictive examples" in the context of a specific example: why are some web ads today uncannily targeted at our personal interests...
I want to show you a pollination landscape, but this is not a pollinator landscape with flowers and nesting sites, but a plot showing two components of pollination. Quantity and quality. A recent paper by Pedro Jordano (see here for other … Continue reading →

Recently, I had read an article on R-bloggers, titled Classifying Breast Cancer as Benign or Malignent using RTextTools by Timothy P. Jurka, who is the author of both that article and the RTextTools package. Having reproduced the results using the...
