Anaerobic Stress in Seeds – A Chemical Similarity Network Story

December 31, 2012 | dgrapov

The chemical similarity network or CSN is a great tool for organizing biological data based on known biochemistry or chemical structural similarity. Here is an example CSN for visualizing metabolomic  changes (measured via GC/TOF) due to anaerobic stress in germinating seeds. In this network edges are formed for chemical ... [Read more...]

The forward (explicit) Euler method

December 31, 2012 | édouard

The forward (explicit) Euler method is a first-order numerical procedure for solving ODEs with a given initial value. The forward Euler method is said to be the simplest and most obvious numerical ODEs integrator. In fact, the simulation using the forward Euler only … Continue reading → [Read more...]

Nested loops with mapply

December 31, 2012 | PirateGrunt

So as I sink deeper into the second level of R enlightenment, one thing troubled me. “lapply” is fine for looping over a single vector of elements, but it doesn’t do a nested loop structure. These tend to be pretty ubiquitous for me. I’m forever doing the same ... [Read more...]

How odd was the UEFA draw?

December 31, 2012 | distantobserver

I've been away for some time without closely following the media, and without significant internet access. When such a period is over it takes some time to regain momentum. Thus my short exit poll series will be continued in 2013. For now I'm still sor... [Read more...]

STL random_sample

December 31, 2012 | Rcpp Gallery

An earlier post looked at random shuffle for permutations. The STL also supports creation of random samples. Alas, it seems that this functionality has not been promoted to the C++ standard yet — so we will have to do with what is an extensions ... [Read more...]

Modeling in R with Log Likelihood Function

December 30, 2012 | statcompute

Similar to NLMIXED procedure in SAS, optim() in R provides the functionality to estimate a model by specifying the log likelihood function explicitly. Below is a demo showing how to estimate a Poisson model by optim() and its comparison with glm() result. [Read more...]

Pearson’s r: Not a good measure of electoral persistence

December 30, 2012 | Jason

Pearson’s product-moment correlation, \(r\), is an incredibly useful tool for getting some idea about how two variables are (linearly) related. But there are times when using Pearson’s \(r\) is not appropriate and, even if linearity and all other assumptions hold, … Continue reading → [Read more...]

RcppClassicExamples 0.1.1

December 30, 2012 | Thinking inside the box

Yesterday's initial upload of RcppClassicExamples was lacking a versioned Depends: to prevent builds on older versions of R. This has been added in a new upload 0.1.1. We also added a NEWS file (see below); no code changes were made. Changes in ver... [Read more...]

National idenftification number: Finland

December 30, 2012 | Xachriel

The Finnish Social Security number (FSSn) is a common variable in a Finnish population based study. Within FSSn are individuals birthday, and gender. We can also check if the FSSn correct because it has a check digit. If the data doesn't have birthday ... [Read more...]

STL random_shuffle for permutations

December 30, 2012 | Rcpp Gallery

The STL also contains random sampling and shuffling algorithms. We start by looking at random_shuffle. There are two forms. The first uses an internal RNG with its own seed; the second form allows for a function object conformant to the STL’s re... [Read more...]

An R wish list for 2013

December 29, 2012 | Luis

First go and read An R wish list for 2012. None of the wishes came through in 2012. Fix the R website? No, it is the same this year. In fact, it is the same as in 2005. Easy to find help? Sorry, next year. Consistency and sane defaults? Coming soon to a ... [Read more...]
