OECD Statistics

July 2, 2009 | Allan Engelhardt

I am a sucker for good quality data. I wrote about data.gov, the US Government data site before, and now I find OECD Statistics which has some 300 data sets, many of which seems to be readily accessible (though some may require subscription)

Example 7.4: A prettier jittered scatterplot

July 2, 2009 | Ken Kleinman

The plot in section 7.3 has some problems. At the very least, the jittered values ought to be between 0 and 1, so the smoothed lines fit better with them. Once again we use the data generated in section 7.2 as an example. For both SAS and R, we use conditioning (section 1.11.2) to make ...

R String processing

July 2, 2009 | Chris

Here's a little vignette of data munging using the regular expression facilities of R (aka the R-project for statistical computing). Let's say I have a vector of strings that looks like this:__ coords [1] "chromosome+:157470-158370" "chromosome+:1583...

Getting help with R

July 2, 2009 | Stephen Turner

There's no doubt that by now you've noticed that we're big fans of R around here. It's completely free, has superior graphing capabilities, and with all the extension packages available there isn't much it can't do. One of the problems with R especially to new users is that it isn't ... [Read more...]

RSI(2) Evaluation

June 28, 2009 | Joshua Ulrich

Despite my best efforts, it's been a month since the last post of this series. The first post replicated this simple RSI(2) strategy from the MarketSci Blog using R. The second post showed how to replicate the strategy that scales in/out of RSI(2). ... [Read more...]

Filtering cases

June 26, 2009 | Jim

Something that's very important to be able to do in data analysis and visualization is to filter out cases. Let's say you want to do identical analyses of two different groups, or of one group and then a subset of it. R can do this a little differently; instead of ... [Read more...]

Development of tikzDevice is underway

June 26, 2009 | cameron

Development of the R package tikzDevice has been underway for about a month now. This package allows for the output of R graphics as TikZ commands. Charlie Sharpsteen and I have gotten it into an alpha stage. There is no real documentation but there is plenty of comments in the ... [Read more...]

A bit about linear models

June 26, 2009 | Jim

Before we delve into slightly more advanced plotting commands I want to talk a little about linear models, specifically, linear regression. In R this is very, very simple. For instance, in our 'states' data frame, we might want to look at median household income as a predictor of state education ... [Read more...]

Reading data, and a graph

June 25, 2009 | Jim

Using Microsoft Excel I'm collecting aggregate data, by state, of various social, political, and economic indicators. I export them into a tab-delimited file called 'states.txt' (pretty clever, I know.) I've got data on education expenditures, firearm deaths per capita, median household income, etc. I'd like to do some analysis ... [Read more...]

A start

June 24, 2009 | Jim

I've decided that this summer I will finally break down and force myself to learn a little bit about using R. I currently use Stata, a very good program, but the idea of R is appealing since it's free under the GNU license. It has a large and active us... [Read more...]

Weekly R Clinic

June 24, 2009 | Stephen Turner

For readers at Vanderbilt: At yesterday's R course I found out that Theresa Scott in the Biostatistics department holds a weekly R clinic and encourages new R users who want to learn more to bring any questions about R, or even your own code and data. The R clinic is ... [Read more...]
