I am a somewhat minimalist R user. I feel uncomfortable if something is not in a good order, such as the names of variables and documents, the structures of my codes and projects. I prefer my data stored in .txt or .csv so I can load them to R using read.table or read.csv. For most of the time we...
Today, I visited a webpage inadvertently and found several job positions that I am competent with, unfortunately all of them has expired. How many chances we lost in this way?! So I decide to do somthing to limit this kind of loss, and of course using our smart R!
The idea is simple: check the job vacancy webpages reguarly, if...
As a R user with 5 years experience, I still have some basic functions that never used or never thought they could exist. Many times I was suprised with some elegant R functions, such like strwidth, parent.frame, etc. No one can know all R functions (and it’s unnecessary), but it’s very convenient to know some basic functions, especially...

But, we often make change to our photos, such like copy them from a place to another, edit using Photoshop, Picasa, etc., and then, the Date...
RStudio and knitr are an excellent conbination for generating dynamic reports. But in this blog, I will show you how to generate HTML-style presentaion using R only. OK, I confess that we still need something else: deck.js and markdown and R.utils. ...
R Packages All Well maintained? There are so many R packages, can they all be trusted? or are they well maintained? To answer this question, we just need to take a look of their archive histories. If a package has many versions, we can take that as th...
R Packages growth Curve Why R is so popular? There are a lot of reasons, such as: easy to learn and convenient to use, active community, open source, etc. Another important reason is the numerous contributed packages. Up to yesterday, there are 4033 R...
Most of regression methods assume that response variables follow some exponential distribution families, e.g. Guassian, Poisson, Gamma, etc. However, this assumption was frequently violated in real world by, for example, zero-inflated overdispersion problem. A number of methods were developed to deal with such problem, and among them, Quasi-Poisson and Negative Binomial are the most popular methods perhaps due to that...
