I’ve had a few emails lately about forecast evaluation and estimation criteria. Here is one I received today, along with some comments. I have a rather simple question regarding the use of MSE as opposed to MAD and MAPE. If the parameters of a time series model are estimated by minimizing MSE, why do we
In the debate over the accuracy of the global temperature nothing is more evident than errors in the location data for stations in the GHCN inventory. That inventory is the primary source for all the temperature series. One question is “do these mistakes make a difference?” If one believes as I do that the record 
The online training provider Statistics.com has three great courses based on R coming up in the next few months: Nov. 5 - Dec. 3: "Graphics in R," with Paul Murrell Nov. 20 – Dec. 18: Support Vector Machines in R" with Dr. Lutz Hamel Dec. 17 - Jan. 22: "Geostatistics in R" with Prof. David Unwin The courses take...
R currently supports two internal OOP systems (S3 and S4), and several others as add-on packages, such as R.oo, and OOP.
S3 is easy to use but not reliable enough for large software projects. The emphasis of the S3 system was on generic functions and polymorphism. It’s a function centric system which is different to class centric system like JAVA.

With Pierre Jacob, my PhD student, and Murray Smith, from National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Wellington, who actually started us on this project at the last and latest Valencia meeting, we have completed a paper on using parallel computing in independent Metropolis-Hastings algorithms. The paper is arXived and the abstract goes as follows: 
Recently ICC awards 2010 were announced and I began wondering how the process works. I haven't seen any good documentation of the process, so I started thinking how would I do it. Here's my version. Thoughts?Note: I is impossible to det...
