off topic but need your pointers about statistics
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 "lea...

cdf function: inverse to quantile?
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.

Dummy variables model
Hi, all! Anyone know an easy way to specify the following model. Panel dataset, with stock through time, by firm. I want to run a model of y on a bunch of explanatory variables, and one dummy for each firm, which is 1 for observations that come from firm i, and 0 everywhere else. I have over 200 firms (and a factor variable that contains a firm identifier). Any easy way of going about

Re-inventing the Wheel (again?)
I''m new to puppet and working my way through the documentation. I''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

Automating binning for chisq.test()
The standard chisq.test() and fisher.test() functions, when applied to two distributions (to determine whether the same underlying distribution applies to both) requires one to pre-bin the distributions. Is there a library function (either built-in or in a package) that acts more like the ks.test() function, in that one can simply pass the two distributions and have it do the necessary binning as

Status of s3tc patent in respect to open-source drivers and workarounds
...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 appear to be a "format" as such, but a method of pulling "blocks" and a "header" out of an undefined format and generating "color pixels". Even the abstract claims all the presented examples of keywords, values and structure for s3tc are not the actu...

DID in the U.S.
Hello! There is something I really don't get: As I ordered a PRI ISDN line in Germany with DID, I had not to pay anything for a "DID number block", now I'm trying to get a PRI ISDN in the U.S. (CA) and SBC wants to charge more than 200 USD/month for numbers. I mean, this has nothing to do with DID, where everything that comes after the "base number" will be

I have a couple of questions/comments: Actually, you're note is timely, because I'm planning to send out a patch (as soon as I update LangRef and rerun tests) that supports safelen but *not* lexical dependences.

combn(n, k, ...) and all its re-inventions
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", and I think I remember there has been a quiz/challenge about 20
