A simple Metropolis-Hastings MCMC in R

September 17, 2010 | Florian Hartig

While there are certainly good software packages out there to do the job for you, notably BUGS or JAGS, it is instructive to program a simple MCMC yourself. In this post, I give an educational example of the Bayesian equivalent of a linear regression, sampled by an MCMC with Metropolis-Hastings ... [Read more...]

Running R on the iPad

September 17, 2010 | David Smith

I'm a hardcore Mac user, so it's annoying to me that we don't yet support Revolution R Enterprise on MacOS X. Believe me, I've argued the point. But MacOS is still a relatively uncommon platform in business, and there's just not the demand yet from customers to justify porting the ... [Read more...]

Complex-valued linear models

September 16, 2010 | ellbur

Someone has probably already written code to do this. But I couldn’t find it in CRAN, so here goes. Oh no lm() won’t take complex numbers! (or rather, it’ll take them, but it’ll discard the imaginary part.) Easy enough fix. … Continue reading → [Read more...]

R’s time is now

September 16, 2010 | David Smith

Jeff Kelly of Tech Target has just published a feature article about R. While R has been around for almost 20 years now (R&R first started the project in 1993), "its time may have finally come", he says. One thing I really like about the article is how well it highlights ... [Read more...]
