Sometimes a student may use a self explained chart, instead of a boring table for showing outcomes in a research paper. Yet, graphs are efficient in showing the broad picture of an issue and also for present results. In political science, you can getting into this topic reading Kastellec and ... [Read more...]

Examples at the link below illustrate interactive charts created with the googleVis package and R. http://code.google.com/p/google-motion-charts-with-r/wiki/GadgetExamples Some amazing features are: a motion chart shows the changes over time, an AnnotatedTimeLine shows zoom-in/zoom-out view of time series, a TreeMap supports drill-down … Continue reading → [Read more...]

I am running GEE logistic regression model for my fetal loss paper. As usual, I compare results between Stata and R and make sure they are consistent. To my surprise, the models assuming independent correlation structure give similar results but the mo... [Read more...]

PloTA ( plot + ta ) library in the Systematic Investor Toolbox is a simple plot interface to charting Time Series and Technical Analysis plots. I created it as an alternative to charting functionality in quantmod package. It is designed to mimic default plot interface and works with xts objects. PloTA implements following ... [Read more...]

Title: Bayesian Computation with RAuthor(s): Jim AlbertPublisher/Date: Springer/2009Statistics level: High Programming level: Low Overall recommendation: Recommended Bayesian Computation with R focuses primarily on providing the reader with a basic understanding of Bayesian thinking and the relevant analytic tools included in R.

Multivariate ordination methods are commonly used in ecology to investigate patterns in species composition in space or time. Constrained ordination methods such as redundancy analysis (RDA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) are effectively just multiple regressions, but we lack the … Continue reading → [Read more...]

Psychologists are gradually coming round to the view that it is a good idea to present interval estimates alongside point estimates of statistics. The most common statistic reported in psychology research is almost certainly the mean (strictly the arithmetic mean). Presenting an interval estimate for the mean of a single ... [Read more...]

This blog following up my previous oneattempts to explain how the geo-pie map was created. I do not know how to attach a .rflow file in this blog. What you can do is to copy the following code into Notepad … Continue reading → [Read more...]

In this post I will show one way to display explained variance using a line chart. There is no default plot for displaying the effect of each factor on deviance of the model, so this is a tentative proposal for my dissertation. The following values were obtained using multilevel models ... [Read more...]

Sometimes, the only thing we want is a chart that speaks for itself rather than boring regression tables in our research paper. Graphs are efficient at showing the broad picture of an issue. In fact, graphs in research papers seem to be gaining a momentum in political science. If you ... [Read more...]

How much predictability is there for these higher moments? Data The data consist of daily returns from the start of 2007 through mid 2011 for almost all of the S&P 500 constituents. Estimates were made over each half year of data.  Hence there are 8 pairs of estimates where one estimate immediately follows ... [Read more...]

Generically, error rate of predicting binary variable by a certain model becomes plateau increasing sample size. When the model fits training data , the error rate gains from 0 to true error. And when the model fits test data, the error rate decreases ... [Read more...]
