Shiny version 0.4.0 is now available on CRAN. The most visible change is that the API has been slightly simplified. Your existing code will continue to work, although Shiny will print messages about how to migrate your code. Migration should be straightforward, as described below. It will take a bit of work to switch to 
Preface I will every now and then post my experience with R, a package for statistical analyses. I try to show some solutions for common types of analyses or problems you are facing when you start working with R. These … Weiterlesen →
How to control the limits of data values in R plots. R has multiple graphics engines. Here we will talk about the base graphics and the ggplot2 package. We’ll create a bit of data to use in the examples: one2ten <- 1:10 ggplot2 demands that you have a data frame: ggdat <- data.frame(first=one2ten, second=one2ten) Seriously

Installing and changing fonts in your plots comes now easy with the extrafonts-package. There is a excellent tutorial on the extrafonts github site, still I will shortly demonstrate how it worked for me. First, install the package and load it. You can now install the desired system fonts (at the moment only TrueType fonts): The 
I found a golden website. The blog of Esteban Moro. He uses R to work on networks. In particular he has done a really nice code to make some great videos of networks. This post is purely a copy of his code. I just changed a few arguments to change colo...
In this short tutorial I will show how you can add the relative amount over the barplots, such that you have both, the absolute and relative Information in the plot. First, I create some artificial SNPs and TPMT-genotype. Now we calculate the percentage and reshape the data for ggplot. I used two times geom_bar as
A prediction of a portfolio’s volatility is an estimate — how variable is that estimate? Data The universe is 453 large cap US stocks. The variance matrices are estimated with the daily returns in 2012. Variance estimation was done with Ledoit-Wolf shrinkage (shrinking towards equal correlation). Two sets of random portfolios were created. In both … Continue reading...
In the past, I wrote about robust regression. This is an important tool which handles outliers in the data. Roger Koenker is a substantial contributor in this area. His website is full of useful information and code so visit when … Continue reading →
Setting up Shiny Server on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) can be a bit of a process if you’re unfamiliar with Linux system administration. Thankfully, we’ve done all the hard work for you! If you’re looking to get Shiny Server running in EC2 without delay, just boot up an instance of our public Amazon Machine
As a PhD student and researcher, I often hear friends and colleagues say that they want to learn R, but that the learning curve is so steep that they can't seem to get started. It's true that learning any tool as powerful as R can be confusing at...
