(This post is the preliminary version of a book review by Alessandra Iacobucci, to appear in CHANCE. Enjoy !) As Rob J. Hyndman enthusiastically declares in his blog, “this is a gem of a book”. I would go even further and argue that The Art of R programming is...
I just got the “news” that Dennis Ritchie died, although this happened on October 12… The announcement was surprisingly missing from my information channels and certainly got little media coverage, compared with Steve Jobs‘ demise. (I did miss the obituaries in the New York Times and in the Guardian. The Economist has the most...
This example is very informative in illustrating how to use CppBugs module with Rcpp to conduct fast MCMC simulation in R.
I write code mainly in R, and from times to times, in C, C++, SAS, bash, python, and perl. There are style guides out there that help make your code more consistent and readable to yourself and others. Here is a style guide for C++, and here is Google’s style guide for R and...
In this post, I give a brief and basic example of how to import a file into R and then display it using a C#-based windows GUI. Background I’ve previously put up an introduction to getting C# and windows-based GUI programs to interact with R using R.NET. My previous example was very, very basic...
In this post, I’ll take a look at using R.NET with the creation of an application written in C#. As this is a first, basic step, I’ll provide the code to make a calculator. Not exciting I know, but it demonstrates the basics! I provide full code for the C# solution at the end:...
Many times you don't want to trouble friends for help with menial tasks like moving furniture. But sometimes you need to step out and ask. Your friends are always happy to help, and after the heavy lifting is done you see how easy it can be. R likes to...
When clearing out some of my old programming books the other day I realised how far I’d come with programming over the years, and the number of different technologies that I have used over time. I thought I’d do a little summary post going from first programming experience to now – and it’s amazing...
I have started redoing the source code measurements that appear in my C book, this time using a lot more source, upgraded versions of existing tools, plus some new tools such as Coccinelle and R. The intent is to make the code and data available in a form that is easy for others to...
by Szilard Pafka Discussions on various software tools (C, C++, Perl, Python, Unix shell, R, Matlab, SAS, SPSS, Excel, databases, Hadoop etc.) used in data analysis. Szilard Pafka (founder and co-organizer of the Los Angeles R users group) presents an … Continue reading →
