Having discovered codegolf on Stack Exchange a few weeks ago, I spotted a few interesting puzzles since then but only got the opportunity at a try over a quiet and rainy weekend (and Robin being on vacation)! The challenge was to write an R code for deciding whether or not a given integer n is
Larger packages typically consist of functions that are visible to the users (exported functions) and functions that are used by the exported functions, but that are invisible to the user. For example: # exported, user-visible function inch2cm

So, we’re down to the last few days before the Australian federal election, the first one that I’ve been tracking polls and making forecasts for. I thought I’d address a couple of points raised on Twitter about my forecasts. My forecasts are gene...

Bavaria is known for its famous Oktoberfest… and within Germany also for its presumably difficult Abitur, a qualification granted by university-preparatory schools in Germany. A mandatory part for all students is maths. This year many students protested that the maths part was way too hard, they even started an online petition with more than seventy … Continue reading "Was...

Every time there is a new major update from The R Foundation (like the recent 3.6.0 release in April). I’m always happy to see the continuing progress and the combination of new features and bug fixes, but I also dread the upgrade because it means I have to address the issue of what to do about the burgeoning number...

NASA generates and provides heaps of data to the scientific community. Not all of it is looking out at the stars. Some of it is looking back at us here on Earth. NASA’s Earth science program observes, understands and models the Earth system1. We can use these data to discover how our Earth is changing, to better predict change, and to understand the...
A couple of weeks ago, I was inspired by a study to write about a classic design issue that arises in cluster randomized trials: should we focus on the number of clusters or the size of those clusters? This trial, which is concerned with preventing opioid use disorder for at-risk patients in primary care clinics, has also motivated this...
The Game of Thrones character, Daenerys Targaryen, suffered a hit to her reputation in the final season of the much-watched HBO series. For the past few years, she has been a crowd favorite--combining brave determination, style, and dragon(s). Many people went a step further in their admiration and named their offspring after her. Below are a couple of charts...
I was playing around with the gganimate package this morning and thought I’d make a little animation showing a favorite finding about the distribution of baby names in the United States. This is the fact—I think first noticed by Laura Wattenberg, of the Baby Name Voyager—that there has been a sharp, relatively recent rise in boys’ names ending in...
A new release of RcppAnnoy is now on CRAN. RcppAnnoy is the Rcpp-based R integration of the nifty Annoy library by Erik. Annoy is a small and lightweight C++ template header library for very fast approximate nearest neighbours—originally developed ...
When we’d like to slice a dataframe by row, we can employ the split() function or the iter() function in the iterators package. By leveraging the power of parallelism, I wrote an utility function slice() to faster slice the dataframe. In the example shown below, the slice() is 3 times more efficient than the split()
Bryan Lewis is a mathematician, R developer and mushroom forager. Morchella Americana by Bryan W. Lewis, see https://ohiomushroomsociety.wordpress.com/ It’s that time of year again, when people in the Midwestern US go nuts for morel mushrooms. Although fairly common in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and, especially, Michigan1, they can still be tricky to find due to the vagaries of weather and mysteries...
Recently, we published a post presenting a small convenience function, from the bayestestR package. This function, named rnorm_perfect, generated an empirical distribution (i.e., a vector of values) as close as possible to a desired distribution, in...

Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like… People think it’s this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‚Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. Steve … Czytaj dalej Make...

Each observation forms a row. Each type of observational unit forms a table. … Continue reading What...
“There’s something so paradoxical about pi. On the one hand, it represents order, as embodied by the shape of a circle, long held to be a symbol of perfection and eternity. On the other hand, pi is unruly, disheveled in appearance, its digits obeying no obvious rule, or at least none that we can perceive. … Continue reading Big...
