## 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...

## More on birthday probabilities

June 15, 2012
By

Last week, Joe Rickert used R and four years of US Census data to create an image plot of the relative probabilities of being born on a given day of the year: Chris Mulligan also tackled this problem with R, but this time using 20 years of Census data from 1969 to 1988. Chris extracted the birthday frequencies using...

## Pretty Correlation Map of PIMCO Funds

As PIMCO expands beyond fixed income, I thought it might be helpful to look at correlation of PIMCO mutual funds to the S&P 500.  Unfortunately due to the large number of funds, I cannot use the chart.Correlation from PerformanceAnalytics.&nbs...

## Simulating the Birthday Problem with data derived probabilities

June 6, 2012
By

You've probably heard of the Birthday Paradox: it only takes a small gathering of people before it's quite likely that two of them share the same birthday. You can solve the problem analytically or with simulation, but usually in either case simplifying assumptions are made (no-one born on February 29, for example). Joe Rickert uses Revolution R Enterprise 6...
