## Analyses as Packages

Analyses as Packages TL;DR Instead of writing an analysis as a single or set of R scripts, use a package and include the analysis as a vignette of the package. Read below for the why, the how is in the next post. Analyses and Reports As data science or statistical researchers, we tend to do a lot of analyses, whether for our...

## A Few Notes on UseR! 2014

July 25, 2014
By

It has been a month since the UseR! 2014 conference, and I'm probably the last one who writes about it. UseR! is my favorite conference because it is technical and not too big. I have completely lost interest in big and broad conferences like JSM (to me, it has become Joint Sightseeing Meetings). Karl has written two blog posts...

18.07.2014 A very time expensive process is the documentation of software you created yourself. I was finally able to update and improve the documentation for Bio7 and the embedded R “Graphical User Interface”. For the documentation this time i used Lyx to export the LaTeX document as HTML with the available eLyXer export module. The

## another R new trick [new for me!]

July 15, 2014

While working with Andrew and a student from Dauphine on importance sampling, we wanted to assess the distribution of the resulting sample via the Kolmogorov-Smirnov measure where F is the target.  This distance (times √n) has an asymptotic distribution that does not depend on n, called the Kolmogorov distribution. After searching for a little while,

## Buster – a new R package for bagging hierarchical clustering

$Buster – a new R package for bagging hierarchical clustering$

I recently found myself a bit stuck. I needed to cluster some data. The distances between the data points were not representable in Euclidean space so I had to use hierarchical clustering. But then I wanted stable clusters that would retain their shape as I updated the data set with new observations. This I could … Continue reading...

$recycling accept-reject rejections (#2)$

Following yesterday’s post on Rao’s, Liu’s, and Dunson’s paper on a new approach to intractable normalising constants, and taking advantage of being in Warwick, I tested the method on a toy model, namely the posterior associated with n Student’s t observations with unknown location parameter μ and a flat prior, which is “naturally” bounded by
