## BISON USGS species occurrence data

May 27, 2013
By

The USGS recently released a way to search for and get species occurrence records for the USA. The service is called BISON (Biodiversity Information Serving Our Nation). The service has a web interface for human interaction in a browser, and two APIs (application programming interface) to allow machines to interact with their database. One of the...

$Creating a typical textbook illustration of statistical power using either ggplot or base graphics$

A common way of illustrating the idea behind statistical power in null hypothesis significance testing, is by plotting the sampling distributions of the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. Typically, these illustrations highlight the regions that correspond to making a type II error, type I error and correctly rejecting the null hypothesis (i.e. the test's power). In this post...

## Sentiment analysis finds trouble in the Enron emails

May 24, 2013
By

The Enron email dataset, collected during the FERC investigation of the Enron financial scandal, represents the largest publicly available set of emails. This makes theman ideal testbed for sentiment analysis algorithms. Ikanow's Andrew Strite used the open-source Infinit.e framework and a Hadoop cluster to generate sentiment scores for all of the Enron emails, and then used R to manipulate...

## Working with shapefiles, projections and world maps in ggplot

May 23, 2013
By

In this post I show some different examples of how to work with map projections and how to plot the maps using ggplot. Many maps that are using the default projection are shown in the longlat-format, which is far from optimal. Here I show how to use either the Robinson or Winkel Tripel projection. Read more

## Veterinary Epidemiologic Research: Modelling Survival Data – Non-Parametric Analyses

May 23, 2013
By

Next topic from Veterinary Epidemiologic Research: chapter 19, modelling survival data. We start with non-parametric analyses where we make no assumptions about either the distribution of survival times or the functional form of the relationship between a predictor and survival. There are 3 non-parametric methods to describe time-to-event data: actuarial life tables, Kaplan-Meier method, and

## xkcd Style Bubble Plot

May 23, 2013
By

A package was recently released to generate plots in the style of xkcd using R. Being a big fan of the cartoon, I could not resist trying it out. So I set out to produce something like one of Hans Rosling’s bubble plots. First I needed some data. Spoilt for choice. I scraped some population data broken

## My Prime Sieve – Homage to Yitan Zhang

May 22, 2013
By

# As a homage to Yitang Zhang who has proven a mind-bending property of Prime Pairs, I have written a prime Sieve to detect all of the prime numbers from 1 to N. # There might very well be a function in the base package that already does this. No...

## Analyzing a simple experiment with heterogeneous variances using asreml, MCMCglmm and SAS

May 17, 2013
By

I was working with a small experiment which includes families from two Eucalyptus species and thought it would be nice to code a first analysis using alternative approaches. The experiment is a randomized complete block design, with species as fixed effect and family and block as a random effects, while the response variable is growth
