April 30, 2011
By

I remember a few weeks ago, there was a challenge in the R-help list to make the prime symbol in R graphics. In LaTeX, we simply write $X'$ or $X^\prime$. R has a rough support for math expressions (see demo(plotmath)) and they are certainly unsatisfactory for LaTeX users. In fact we can write native LaTeX

## A Tiny Model of Evolution

April 25, 2011
By

I've always wanted to write a(n overly) simple model of evolution. The assumptions are minimalistic: only one species, for which each individual's genotype is represented as a one-dimensional real number, e.g. 7.4. Now, the fun stuff: I define a fu...

## Alpha shapes with R and lattice

What are the alpha shapes?: “The concept of alpha shapes formalizes the intuitive notion of “shape” for spatial point set data, which occurs frequently in the computational sciences. An alpha shape is a concrete geometric object that is uniquely defined for a particular point set. Alpha shapes are generalizations of the convex hull. Given a

## No simulation is complete without a gif

I promise this is my last post on the now week and a half old π pay! Building on the last post, I figured I could show how convergence actually works in the estimation algorithm. If you’ll recall, we plotted … Continue reading →

I am a regular reader of the FlowingData blog by Nathan Yau. It is an excellent reference for anyone interested in statistical visualization of data. One of his posts that caught my attention was a visualization of the growth of Walmart in the US. Given my research interests in retail, it was a fascinating insight
