The problem I am in the process of migrating my (rather ugly) small blog from “Bloggers” to `blogdown` and, as several others, I choose to use the hugo-academic theme due to its good looks, simplicity, and “focus” towards researchers. One nice feature of hugo-academic is that it includes out-of-the-box a “...

Fixed appearance of plots Added plot_density function for comparison pdfs of fitted functions Updated argument naming conventions fitur on CRAN Density Diagnostic Plot

library(fitur)
library(ggplot2)
library(trstyles)
set.seed(37)
x <- rgamma(10000, 5)
dists <- c('gamma', 'lnorm', 'weibull')
fits <- lapply(dists, fit_univariate, x = x)
theme_set(theme_tr())
plot_density(x, fits, nbins = 20)

QQ-Plot The output is a ggplot object so you can add colors, styling, etc.

plot_pp(x, fits) +
  scale_color_tr()

PP-Plot You can also zoom in on different areas.

plot_qq(x, fits) +
  scale_color_tr() +
  coord_cartesian(xlim = c(5,10))

Outline of the Problem When learning to program, we often start with trivial exercises that don’t motivate anyone to treat programming seriously. Here I want to develop an example step-by-step that will illustrate key concepts of programming in R and … Continue reading →

Being a self learner and explorative by nature, I love to try out new technology and keep learning something all the time. Especially, working in a Biotech organization as a data scientist, and being the only one in the region, "technical" talks and discussions are very limited from the programming ...

R project has been participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) since 2008. We have numerous packages which have received code contributions from GSoC participants. This year too, R is participating and there is already an impressive list of potential projects listed at [https://github.com/rstats-gsoc/gsoc2018/wiki/table-of-proposed-coding-projects] and ...

Yesterday the UUK/UCU negotiations at ACAS concluded with an agreement document. In this post I’ll look at the numbers in those proposed interim changes to the Universities Superannuation Scheme, to work out how much money would effectively be lost by USS members at each salary level. This is ...

In previous post we discussed two common methods of Poisson process simulation. The reason why this trivial problem was of my interest is the fact that this is simplification of a larger scale problem of a classical ruin process. Let me remind that I focus on an extenssion of Cramé...

Introduction Maps of United States often focus only on the contiguous 48 states. In many maps Alaska and Hawaii are simply not shown or are displayed at different geographic scales than the main map. This article shows how to create inset maps of the USA, building on a chapter in the ...

Shiny’s Design Most Shiny apps out there have a similar design style. It is usually easy for a seasoned Shiny developer to tell the difference between a Shiny app and a standard website. Why is this? Shiny apps ARE websites for all intents and purposes. Why do they not ...
