Last night I started wondering about ways in which I might be able to use signal processing (Fourier analysis) or symbol dynamics (eg Thinks: Symbolic Dynamics for Categorising Rally Stage Wiggliness?) to help categorise the nature of rally stage twistiness. Over a morning coffee break, I reminded myself of spectrograms, ...

I was discussing the effect of the Trump being President during the bulk of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. My friend believes that Trump had a significant negative effect on the course of the pandemic in the United States. Meanwhile, I think that Trump was not helpful but ...

In this blog post, I want to discuss something that I, personally, have never seen discussed; how to create a “serverless” (or “shinyless” you could say) dashboard using R. I made one dashboard like that, which you can find here. This dashboard is running on a simple, standard web server. ...

I’m preparing a lecture on simulation for a statistical modeling class, and I plan on describing a couple of cases where simulation is intrinsic to the analytic method rather than as a tool for exploration and planning. MCMC methods used for Bayesi...

I'm in the throes of submitting a paper on effect sizes in ALDEx2, and so I thought I would take a stab at a nice concise blog post to summarize and simplify. Effect sizes are standardized mean differences between groups, and are designed to conve...

In a recent post I talked about collecting temperature data from different rooms in my house. Using {targets}, I am able to get temperature readings for any given day down to five-minute increments and store that data on a DigitalOcean space. Since I want to be able to both fit ...

Brim Security maintains a free, Electron-based desktop GUI for exploration of PCAPs and select cybersecurity logs: along with a broad ecosystem of tools which can be used independently of the GUI. The standalone or embedded zqd server, as well as the zq command line utility let analysts run ZQL (a ...
