I was looking for data I could use with the geom_text() object in ggplot2 and came across this data from the World Health Organization about the suicide rates by country which I found very handy for my example. I used the scale_colour_gradient2() with...
The pgf drawing package for LaTeX provides facilities for drawing simple of complicated pictures within a LaTeX document. There are many options available within the package and in this post we consider some of the basics to get up and running. Fast Tube by Casper As with all LaTeX documents we need to select...
Thanks to this great post http://www.imachordata.com/?p=730 we can now put multiple plots on a display with ggplot2. This provides somewhat similar functionality to ‘par(mfrow=c(x,y))’ which would allow multiple plots with the base plot function. gridExtra doesn’t have quite the same level of options as ‘par’, but the syntax is simple. grid.arrange( graph1, graph2, ncol=2 Simple....
Recently I had to partition a set of SNPs into a training set and a test set. Making a random split would not do: both sets would likely contain very similar SNPs due to linkage disequilibrium (LD), making them non-independent. … Continue reading →
This week, Le Monde offers not one but three related puzzles: Is it possible to label the twelve edges of a cube by consecutive numbers such that the sum of the edge numbers at any of the eight nodes is constant? Is it possible to label the eight nodes of a cube by consecutive...
This is a great post, very true, not enough of R’s graphics are well displayed online to really see how to achieve what the often ambiguous ‘help’ information suggests. http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/R/Graphics/Basics/mar-oma/index.htm I particularly find “mtext(“lol”, outer=T)” to be particularly useful (requires “oma=c(2,2,2,2)” or similar). http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/ This site is somewhat of the way there, but I’ve...
R is sometime criticized for producing graphs not as elaborated as Matlab ones, or other softwares’. Here is a link to a graph gallery by Romain François to “enhance your data visualization with R”. The corresponding R code is given. Might be useful for ENSAE students for ‘statap’ projects. Below are four examples. The...

This week(end), the Le Monde puzzle can be (re)written as follows (even though it is presented as a graph problem): Given a square 327×327 symmetric matrix A, where each non-diagonal entry is in {1,2,3,4,5} and , does there exist a triplet (i,j,k) such that Solving this problem in R is very easy. We can...
Both lattice and ggplot2 seem really interesting and worthy of learning. But I only have time to learn one of them, and the choice is not an easy one.Here is an awesome reference; this blog is generally very interesting; and here is something...
The tikzDevice package is quite amazing. Here are two graphs I just made, with (lower) and without (upper) using the tikzDevice package. The difference in quality is huge.Also, the package "pgfSweave" is also very helpful if one wants to combine R sess...
