Julien Cornebise posted a rather detailed set of comments (from Jasper!) that I thought was interesting and thought-provoking enough (!) to promote to a guest post. Here it is , then, to keep the debate rolling (with my only censoring being the removal of smileys!). (Please keep in mind that I do not endorse everything

Last morn, I had the surprise of receiving the following email: This is to inform you that the following abstract has been submitted to the 3rd International Conference of the ERCIM WG on COMPUTING & STATISTICS (ERCIM’10) Ab#: 114 Title: Goodness of Fit Via Mixtures of Beta distributions Keywords: nonparametric estimation, posterior conditional predictive p-value. 
Do not resort to Monte Carlo methods unnecessarily. When I received this 2009 Springer-Verlag book, Computational Statistics, by James Gentle a while ago, I briefly took a look at the table of contents and decided to have a better look later… Now that I have gone through the whole book, I can write a short 
In the following post, I'll create a C extension for R. This extension will iterate over all the FASTA sequences in a file and will return a pair(name,sequence) for each sequence, that is to say that I won't store all the sequences in memory.The C code...
In the following post, I will show how I've implemented a custom C function for R. This C function will translate a DNA to a protein. I'm very new to 'R' so feel free to make any comment about the code.C codeThe data in 'R' are stored in an opaque stru...
It seems to be something I am looking for: an interface between R and C for Bayesian analysis.http://www.probability.ca/amcmc/
