Earlier I suggested a meeting of folks interested in R and who will be attending the Joint Statistical Meetings in Dallas, TX, U.S.A. It would be a good time to talk about the software and the directions it could take or even just to meet some of the people whom you see corresponding on these groups. I suggest we try to meet at the business meeting/mixer for the Statistical Computing and

The BOF in the subject line is a "Birds Of a Feather" meeting. This is a chance for people who normally only get the chance to communicate via e-mail to actually sit down and talk to each other in person. I plan to be at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Dallas in August. If you will be attending and would be interested in getting together with some other R folks, please e-mail me and

We're pleased to announce a one day course covering static and dynamic graphics using R, ggplot and GGobi. The course will be held just before the JSM, on Saturday, 28 July 2007, in Salt Lake City. The course will be presented by Dianne Cook and Hadley Wickham. In the course you will learn: * How to build presentation quality static graphics using the R package, ggplot. We will cover plot creation and modification, and discuss the grammar which...

Dear List, Does anyone know when will be available Peter Dalgaard's book: "Introductory Statistics with R" ?. According to Amazon: "This item will be published on August 15, 2002", but it continues unpublised. Thanks, Carlos Ortega. _______________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

.../useR/ its basically a site for making social mini-networks for conferences, so people can post up links, share photos, list talks, etc. If people going sign up then it'll look a lot better than UseR! 2011, where only three people seemed to have attended - but that's more than went to the JSM in Florida last year (one person). It's no replacement for the official website: http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/UseR-2012 - you might just find it a handy place to keep track of all the conferences you attend, or find new ones. Frank Harrell has given his blessing to the lanyrd si...

Hello all, There is currently a (very !) lively discussions happening around the web, surrounding the following topics: 1) Is R efficient? (scripting wise, and performance wise) 2) Should R be written from scratch? 3) What should be the license of R (if it was made a new)? Very serious people have taken part in the debates so far. I hope to let you know of the places I came by, so you might be

The travel allowance will be given to just one individual in the team, who will be presented the award at JSM. To be eligible, the team must have designed and implemented a piece of statistical software. The individual within the team indicated to receive the travel allowance must have begun the development while a student, and must either currently be a student, or have completed all requirements for he...

Greetings. I'm trying to determine whether to use rpart or randomForest for a classification tree. Has anybody tested efficacy formally? I've run both and the confusion matrix for rf beats rpart. I've looking at the rf help page and am unable to figure out how to extract the tree. But more than that I'm looking for a more comprehensive user's guide for randomForest including

The scagnostics package currently only supports two methods, one which computes the scagnostics for a pair of variables, and the other for all pairs of variables in a data.frame. If you are attending the JSM, there is a session on scagnostics.

At JSM, I spent a bit of time with old friends at the Cytel booth (makers of StatXact/LogXact). They were wondering whether it was both feasible and of interest to create a package of the StatXact compute engine for R (to be commercially licensed, not for free!), similar to what they've done for SAS....

It is interesting how things have changed -- 5 weeks later, I review materials collected at the JSM, and notice that Springer-Verlag's glossy statistics catalog has 3 of 9 books on the front page directly or indirectly related to R (Peter D's intro book, MASS, and Parmigiani et.al's book with a number of Bioconductor-related chapters). (one could argue that 8 of 9 could use it -- it...

Has anyone seen an official announcement to DSC-2005. I saw and email exchange on the R-news list in mid January in which a date was announced unofficially. (to DSC-organizers: we need and "official" announcement to request funding and travel permission and flights from Europe to Seattle are starting to fill up, so this is urgent).
