Recently, I came across quite a few examples of time series forecasting using R. Here are some examples: Time series cross-validation 4: forecasting the S&P 500 Holt-Winters forecast using ggplot2 Autoplot: Graphical Methods with ggplot2 Large-Scale Parallel Statistical Forecasting Computations in R (2011) by M. Stokely, F. Rohani, E. Tassone Forecasting time series data ARIMA

## Community Detection in Networks with R

I mainly post this visualization because I think it’s pretty. It reminds a little of the work by the famous Dutch painter Mondrian. The complete matrix can be found here. The plot is a heatmap of an adjacency matrix generated by a weighted dir...

## Data mining for network security and intrusion detection

July 16, 2012
By

In preparation for “Haxogreen” hackers summer camp which takes place in Luxembourg, I was exploring network security world. My motivation was to find out how data mining is applicable to network security and intrusion detection. Flame virus, Stuxnet, Duqu proved that static, signature based security systems are not able to detect very advanced, government sponsored

Chaos. Hectic, seemingly unpredictable, complex dynamics. In a word: fun. I usually stick to the warm and fuzzy world of stochasticity and probability distributions, but this post will be (almost) entirely devoid of randomness. While chaotic dynamics are entirely deterministic, their sensitivity to initial conditions can trick the observer into seeing iid. In ecology, chaotic
