So you want to run R in the cloud so you can set your Gibbs sampling off, forget about it, and not be paranoid about power cuts and reboots. Andrew Gelman hosted a good debate on the pros and cons of R in the cloud on his blog.
The consensus seems to be RStudio and EC2. P.S. If...
For a much better looking version of this post (where code is actually readable!), see this Github repository, which also contains some of the example datasets I use and a literate programming version of this tutorial. Introduction This is a bare-bones introduction to ggplot2, a visualization package in R. It assumes no knowledge of R

One of the great things about (software) code is that people build on it and out from it… Which means that as well as producing ever more complex bits of software, tools also get produced over time that make it easier to do things that were once hard to do, or required expensive commercial software 
The next version of RStudio (v0.95) is now available as a preview release. Highlights include: Projects — A new system for managing R projects that enables easy switching between working directories, running multiple instances of RStudio with different projects, and per-project contexts for source documents, workspaces, and history. Code Navigation — Typeahead navigation by file 
Earlier we spoke about PITCHfx resources, and now we will learn about R resources. Well, what is R? Straight from wikipedia:R is a programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The R lang...
Things have been a little quiet, post wise here, of late, in part because of the holiday season… but I have been posting notes on a couple of charts in progress over on the F1DataJunkie blog. Here are links to the posts in chronological order – they capture the evolution of the chart design(s) to 
Another set of stepping stones that provide a clunky route to a solution that @mhawksey has been working on a far more elegant expression of (eg Free the tweets! Export TwapperKeeper archives using Google Spreadsheet and Twitter: How to archive event hashtags and create an interactive visualization of the conversation)… The recipe is as follows:

I studied psychology in Marburg (Germany). At university we exclusively used SPSS. The courses were among my classmates usually not the most popular. After over 10 years in management consulting, I have noticed that little has changed to this. It’s a shame because a lot of interesting data in consulting firms and HR departments remain unused. In my role as managing director of kibit GmbH, I have placed the focus of the company on ”R” … Weiterlesen →
I do a alot of my modelling on Rstudio hosted on EC2 instances. If you don’t use, I would highly recommend. A brilliant tool. Kudos to the Rstudio team. I have made a personal and professional pledge to obsessively use version control. I hope to show...
