In this post, I will show you how to create an animation using R and ffmpeg. The idea to do so is pretty simple: Generate a number of snapshots Combine them in a video file using ffmpeg The best way to learn about the art of animation is by doing ... [Read more...]

In my previous post, I introduced the concept of smoothing using Fourier basis functions and I applied them onto temperature data. It is important to note the that a similar kind of analysis can be replicated using B-splines (see this page). In this post, I extend the concept to an ... [Read more...]

In this post we will introduce the Fourier basis functions in the context of Functional Data Analysis. The Fourier basis function is method to smooth out data varying over a continuum and exhibiting a cyclical trend. Smoothing techniques play an important role in Functional Data Analysis (FDA) as they provide ... [Read more...]
