Review: Kölner R Meeting 12 April 2013
Our 5th Cologne R user group meeting was the best attended meeting so far, with 20 members finding their way to the Institute of Sociology for two talks by Diego de Castillo on shiny and Stephan Holtmeier on cluster analysis, followed by beer and schnitzel at the Lux, a gastropub nearby.
Shiny
Diego gave an overview of...2D plot with histograms for each dimension (2013 edition)
In 2009, I wrote about a way to show density plots along both dimensions of a plot. When I ran the code again to adapt it to a new project, it didn't work because ggplot2 has become better in the meantime. Below is the updated code. Using the gridExtra...
Using data.table for binning
I discovered the impressive data.table package more than a year ago. In order to learn how to use it, I …
analyze the medical large claims experience study (mlces) with r
not a survey, not even remotely current, the society of actuaries' medical large claims experience study (mlces) might be the best private health insurance claims data available to the public. this data should be used to calibrate other data sets...
What Is the Probability of a 16 Seed Beating a 1 Seed?
Note: I started this post way back when the NCAA men's basketball tournament was going on, but didn't finish it until now. Since the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament has moved to 64 teams, a 16 seed as never upset a 1 seed. You might be tempted to say ...
Ordinal data, models with observers
I recently made three posts regarding analysis of ordinal data. A post looking at all methods I could find in R, a post with an additional method and a post using JAGS. Common in all three was using the cheese data, a data set where...
Agent-based modeling in R – habitat diversity and species richness
How does habitat diversity affect species richness? Perhaps intuition suggests that habitat diversity increases species richness by facilitating niche or resource partitioning among species. But, for a fixed area, as habitat heterogeneity increases, the area that can be allocated to each habitat type decreases. In a recent paper, Allouche and colleagues (2012) provide a theoretical and empirical treatment...
The OpenStreetMap Package Opens Up
A new version of the OpenStreetMap package is now up on CRAN, and should propagate to all the mirrors in the next few days. The primary purpose of the package is to provide high resolution map/satellite imagery for use in your R plots. The package supports base graphics and ggplot2, as well as transformations between spatial coordinate
