Using R and Hadoop to analyze VOIP data
Last month, the newest member of Revolution's engineering team, Saptarshi Guha, gave a presentation at Hadoop World 2010 on using R and Hadoop to analyze 1.3 billion voice-over-IP packets to identify calls and measure call quality. Saptarshi, of course, is the author of RHIPE, which lets R programmers write map-reduce algorithms in the Hadoop framework without needing to learn...
Updating meteorological forecasts, part 1
As Mark Twain said "the art of prophecy is very difficult, especially about the future" (well, actually I am not sure Mark Twain was the first one to say so, but if you're interested by that sentence, you can look here). I have been rather su...
Splines: opening the (black) box…
Splines in regression is something which looks like a black box (or maybe like some dishes you get when you travel away from home: it tastes good, but you don't what's inside... even if you might have some clues, you never know for sure*). With spl...
My residuals look weird… aren’t they ?
Since I got the same question twice, let us look at it quickly.... Some students show me a graph (from a Poisson regression) which looks like that, and they asked "isn't it weird ?", i.e."residuals are null or positive... this is not what we...
R is Hot: Part 4
This is Part 4 of a five-part article series, with new parts published each Thursday. You can download the complete article from the Revolution Analytics website. High Quality Graphics, Made Easy R is especially useful for generating charts and graphics, quickly and easily. The ability to create visual plots of complex data is more than just a handy trick;...
Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) with uncertain Spatial Effects
This file illustrates the computer code to use spatial filtering in the context of Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA). For more details and in case you use the code please cite Crespo Cuaresma and Feldkircher (2010). In addition, this tutorial exists as ...

Help! My model fits too well!
This is sort-of related to my sidelined study of graph algebra. I was thinking about data I could apply a first-order linear difference model to, and the stock market came to mind. After all, despite some black swan sized shocks, what better predicts a day’s closing than the previous day’s closing? So,
The 2009 homicide data for Chihuahua has been updated
As I described in this post, the reported number of homicides in Chihuahua during 2009 turned out to be incomplete. Guess what? The SNSP just released an updated version of the homicide data, and Chihuahua went from having 2,523 homicides to 3,156. My estimate was 3,256, so I came pretty...
