Hi all, I apologize for this off-topic question but I need your help -- I know there are lots of experts here. As a lover and student of statistics, I am thinking of building a tree of various branches of statistics and keeping track of the greatest historical inventions/discoveries in statistics and the latest development of each branch. The goal is to understand in what context did the great inventions come out and then try to follow the greatest minds in terms of creating future significant inventions/discoveries in the statistics field... This is the "...

Is there a function in R for calculating empirical cumulative distribution functions, i.e. the inverse of the quantile function? Perhaps in some library? I''d hate to have to re-invent the wheel.

...m struggling with the puppet labs module repo. I''ve toyed with numerous automation and configuration methodologies over the decades. Perhaps I''m seeing puppet wrong, Compared with CFEngine there is a a lot I like, but I''m not sure why I''m still having to re-invent the wheel for a linux server distribution. What I mean is, why at this point in the linux lifecycle, there are not standard modules for the 10,50 or 100 things that an admin must change to deploy a linux server in prod or dev Even though puppetlabs has a modules repo, if you look for some b...

...the necessary binning as well as the actual statistical test? (Yes, you can accuse me of laziness: I just don't fancy trying to figure out a routine that would make sure that there more than 5 samples in each of the expected bins before applying the chi-squared test. It seems too much like re-inventing an elementary wheel that must have been invented by someone else.)

...tput. =================== One thing that stands out to me are that none of the primary claims seem to describe the technical format itself (ie, no algorithms, keywords, block sizes, byte-alignment, etc..) This means the claims at issue seem to be *methods* of data handling, (and not particularly inventive ones in my opinion). That suggests to me that with a little thought it should be possible to generate the same results via a method that doesn't infringe one of the 4 specific claims listed above. To clarify, despite all the technical mumbling in the abstract the claimed invention does not a...

I mean, this has nothing to do with DID, where everything that comes after the "base number" will be transmitted to the PBX anyway. Wasn't DID invented to get rid of number blocks? Please enlighten me. Thanks. Andi

It seems people are reinventing the wheel here: The goal is to generate all combinations of 1:n of size k. This (typically) results in a matrix of size k * choose(n,k) i.e. needs O(n ^ k) space, hence is only applicable to relatively small k. Then alternatives have been devised to generate the combinations "one by one&...
