I wish to second this approach to learning R. I tried for several years to translate other stat programs or provide parallel analyses with R. This dabbling-in-R approach did not work . When a transferred to a research unit that could ill afford commercial software, I devoted my entire time to doing everything in R. This was a difficult learning process, but I eventually became proficient

This implementation uses decimation to generate an estimate of the required ReplayGain adjustment for tracks sampled at high rates. This approach avoids having to generate filters with commensurately more taps, and also the subsequent effect on performance as these additional taps are evaluated for high sample rate tracks. Filter table entries with coefficients that are unchanged are marked /*

Am I being too optimistic in expecting this (mixing and matching matrices and Matrices) to work? If x is a matrix and m is a Matrix, replacing a commensurately sized sub-matrix of x with m throws "number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length" ... x <- matrix(0,nrow=3,ncol=10, dimnames=list(letters[1:3],LETTERS[1:10])) rr <-

Right, we want them to be roughly comparable. O0 -> best debug experience, fastest compile times. O2 -> optimize without bloating...

...ot; when an NFS user finds that she can't > execute a file because one of the DOS bits was flipped on by a Windows user? Methinks "least surprise" is really only applicable to things which are very close in behavior. The is a principle of "no surprise" applicable to commensurable things: if one of the services' operations is a proper subset of the other, then one can argue for no or least surprise. If one has no overlap between the two things' behaviors, everything is a surprise! And between the two comes a muddy middle, full of execute and "hidden&qu...

I haven't run out of popcorn watching the "Upstreaming PNaCl's IR simplification passes" thread but one thing struck me that I would really like clarified. It feels like a tangential issue so I thought I'd ask it separately. In the very same message, I see this: >>>> Some background:  There are two related use cases for these >>>> IR simplification

Hi all, When configuring Asterisk with an ISDN card, it will at one point become necessary to select the LBO (Line Build-Out) value. This is an integer (0-7) that is determined by the length of the cable and is selected from the following table. Many of us are familiar with it: CSU (dB) DSX-1 (feet) ------------------------------- 0 0 0?133 1

Dear List the other day, I had my yearly staff interview with my Head of Department. Under my list of publications, I included a document which I wrote (R-and-octave.txt) that ended up in the "contributed docs" section of CRAN. Unfortunately, neither my HoD nor the personnel person were terribly impressed with it, even though its preparation time was commensurate with many of my (co

I have a Master's student working on a project which involves estimating parameters of a certain model via maximum likelihood, with the maximization being done via optim(). A phenomenon has occurred which I am at a loss to explain. If we use certain pairs of starting values for optim(), it simply returns those values as the ``optimal'' values, although they are definitely not

Greetings, My team at Numerix LLC (www.numerix.com) is spinning up what I expect to be a long term effort using LLVM to generate fast code for calculations on financial instruments. One area we will apply apply LLVM is compiling instead of interpreting our domain specific language (DSL) that our customers use for modeling complex financial instruments to dramatically improve performance.
