On 28 November 2018 I presented a poster at Dutch Demography Day in Utrecht. Here it is:

What is restez? R packages for interacting with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) have, to-date, depended on API query calls via NCBI’s Entrez. For computational analyses that require the automated look-up of reams of biological sequence data, piecemeal querying via bandwith-limited requests is evidently not ideal. These ...

What is homology? Proteins are conserved bio molecules present in all organisms. Some proteins are conserved in many similar species, making them homologues of each other, meaning that the sequence is not the same but there is a degree of similarity. This is measured as homology in percentage. Histone H1 ...

We at STATWORX work a lot with R and we often use the same little helper function within our projects. These functions ease our daily work life by reducing repetitive code parts or by creating overviews of our projects. At first, there was no plan to make a package, but ...

CategoriesAdvanced Modeling Tags Data Management Data Visualisation R Programming We are continuing on with our NYC bus breakdown problem. When we left off, we had constructed a rule-based Cubist regression model with our expanded pool of predictors; but we were still only managing to explain 37% of the data's variance with ...
