The SAS Analysis blog post 'A macro calls R in SAS for paneled 3d plotting' influenced my macro coding.   The following macro call: %EXPORT_TO_R(DATA = YOURDATA)  exports the SAS data set 'YOURDATA' as .csv and produces the R code for se...

I developed the following schematic (with annotations) based on supporting documents (link) from the article cited below. The authors used R for their work. The ROC curve in my schematic was output from PROC LOGISTIC in SAS, the scatterplot with m...

After a week as SAS Gobal Forum, I've been pretty excited about some of the text mining presentations that I got to see. I couldn't wait to get back to work to at least try something.  After getting home I found a tweet from @imusicmash sharing a post from the ...

The following post at Constructing Difference Curves - Part 3 from economics.about.com provides a discussion on indifference curves (but actually I think they are isoquants) and how to construct them. I think I have a grasp on how to do this in R if yo...

From: In defense of the Gaussian copula, The Economist"The Gaussian copula provided a convenient way to describe a relationship that held under particular conditions. But it was fed data that reflected a period when housing prices were not correlated to the extent that they turned out to be when ...

Earlier I had a problem that required merging 3 years of trade data, with about 12 csv files per year. Merging all of these data sets with pairwise left joins using the R merge statement worked (especially after correcting some errors pointed out by Ha...

I recently undertook a project where a colleague had about 12 .csv files that they wanted to merge. Each file had a common (key) variable 'Partner' (which is trading partner) with differing columns (variables) except for the common key variable. Actual...

In this post,  I provide results from my first full blown application of R to read, merge, clean, subset, manipulate, analyze and visualize data related to agricultural subsidies by Kentucky counties. This is very similar to the work I do on a daily basis, and was a great test of ...

See also NEURAL NETWORKS. In this past June's issue of R journal, the 'neuralnet' package was introduced. I had recently been familiar with utilizing neural networks via the 'nnet' package (see my post on Data Mining in A Nutshell) but I find the neuralnet package more useful because it will ...
