Andrej Blejec has a very nice R demo of Galton's quincunx (link1, link2). It is a bit tedious to copy the code from PDF to R console, but it is worth the effort as the demo simulation clearly shows the nature of quincunx. After a bit of search I also f...
The "animation" package is a good teaching tool to demonstrate some key concepts in a introductory statistics course.
My new R package, swfDevice, is getting close to its first release. This package enables native R graphics output as swf (flash) files. It also as the ability to create animations with player controls. The main project page is here and the results of the test suite are here. Here are some samples: http://swfdevice.r-forge.r-project.org/swfDevice_test29.swf http://swfdevice.r-forge.r-project.org/swfDevice_test28.swf
ince animation 1.0-9, we will be able to create a PDF document with an animation embedded in it; the function is saveLatex(), and its usage is similar to saveMovie() and saveSWF(): you pass an R expression for creating animations to this function, and this expression will be evaluated in the function; the image frames get
I love R because there are always exciting new packages which can be far beyond your imagination. Here I’d like to introduce a couple of packages that look really awesome: 1. swfDevice: R graphics device for SWF output (by Cameron Bracken) This package is still at a pre-alpha stage but you can see a sketch now in
oday Romain Francois posted an interesting topic in the R-help list, and you can read his blog post for more details: celebrating R commit #50000. 50000 is certainly not a small number; we do owe R core members a big “thank you” for their great efforts in this fantastic statistical language in the 13 years.

He should have added the last sentence if he were a Windows user in this age. 1. Avoid Using M$ Excel A lot of R users often ask this question:

So I haven't had success YET in finding a way to post here the animations, but I thought it would be interesting to show you at least a couple of examples using this software, and I chose 2 pretty interesting ones by Yihui Xie and Xiaoyue Cheng.The fir...
