similar to: R for education research tutoral?

Everyone: If you work in Higher Education, in either an office of Institutional Research or an office Institutional Effectiveness, I'm keen to hear from you on how you use R, individually or with colleagues. Why do you use R? Is the cost savings an issue? Do you also maintain a license to more established packages (e.g., SPSS, SAS, or Minitab)? Are you encouraged (allowed?) to

Dear R-Devel, I have had it in my mind for some time now that a Task View related to R and education might be a good thing. There are currently 19 Task Views, covering a broad spectrum of general topics for which R may be used. The homepage lists 64 books related to R, and several of them have accompanying packages on CRAN. There is a wiki and a host of contributed documentation. We also have a

I'm sorry for the way OT post, but here goes. I'm an informatics specialist, and R user. My wife is a secondary school maths teacher. My wife recently tried to explain to her class the link between education and potential salary, and I would love to be able to show this graphically, however, I cannot find any freely available data for this. Does anyone know of a suitable dataset,

We've recently had a thread on beginners and FAQs and the like. I decided that it might be a good idea to offer a short list of on-line help pages that beginners should read. Goals: - the list short be short (I think mine is too long) - many of the commonest questions should find answers there (fairish) - I should have found the pages helpful myself (no question about that) - it's a

Martin Maechler <maechler@stat.math.ethz.ch> replied: well, the explantion isn't hard: look at seq.default :-) That's the "efficient cause", I was after the "final cause". That is, I wasn't asking "what is it

I'm in e-mail contact with a geochemist who maintains a well regarded geochemistry web site. He's drawing diagrams either with a Turbo Pascal program running in a DOS window or with Excel. I'm trying to persuade him that R would be a better choice. Something he's particularly keen on is ternary diagrams. I think he is talking about ternary phase diagrams, and if so, it looks as

The Biometrics Research department at the Merck Research Laboratories has an open position to be located in Rahway, New Jersey, USA: This position will be responsible for imaging and bio-signal biomarkers projects including analysis of preclinical, early clinical, and experimental medicine imaging and EEG data. Responsibilities include all phases of data analysis from processing of raw imaging

Bringing up an old topic on a small technicality. In the help documentation on seq. Value: The result is of 'mode' '"integer"' if 'from' is (numerically equal to an) integer and 'by' is not specified. The arguement in seq specifying length also creates "double" which is not obvious in the wording, as "by" is not specified

Dear all, we have an exciting PhD position applying HPC to the analysis of large scale cancer datasets. The post will suit an applicant from a strong computational background who wishes to apply their knowledge to help develop a better understanding of the processes that control how tumours develop. Details below:- High Performance Computing applied to cancer research: Computational analysis of

A student is trying to cluster some data. Tree-building things seem to be pretty hopeless (we've tried most of the ones in R, I think). Multi-dimensional scaling produces somewhat tantalising results: things do clump together somewhat, but the clusters overlap a lot. I was wondering if these was an artefact of squeezing it down to 2D, and whether 3D might be better. So loc <-

I just got a G4 running MacOS 10.3 today, so I immediately downloaded R from CRAN. To my disappointment, it insists on installing in a fixed place and requires a root password to do so. University policy is that if your machine is on the net, you WON'T get root access nohow, unless you're a designated sysadmin, which I'm not. Is there any alternative to downloading a source

In short: I didn't take enough stats courses in college. Now I am working on scientific research and I feel somewhat lost when it comes to designing the statistical framework. I have looked through the books at: http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html I even tried to read [17] Julian J. Faraway. Linear Models with R. This book is too advanced. It helped a little bit but I still

Hi all, I'm organizing a BoF session during the upcoming EuroLLVM developers meeting. As the subject of this message already shows, this session will be on compilers in education. I'm currently looking for both participants to the discussion and input for the actual program of the session. I've already got some ideas which I'll introduce below. At our university, we mostly

I have some data which records, amongst other things, age (recoded by me to be in months), and drug group (a factor). The drug group is a 2 digit number, but there is no numeric relationship, and only 50 of the possible groups occur So > asd <- read.table("asd.dat", header=TRUE) > asd$group <- as.factor(asd$group) > plot(age ~ group, data=asd) gives me a series of

Dear all My 5 cents (or Rappen in CH) if it comes to serving many clients. We are running a 4 node cluster since several years ? rock solid and w/o any issues. This cluster serves many thousands of listeners from all over the world. Our source transcoder sending the audio streams to each Node. Hence, transcoding power is not an issue here. The four Nodes a geographically dispersed in 3

A package I have written makes considerable use of external C code. There appear to be no problems building a Windows binary with the GNU C compiler, but now I would like to make the package available for other platforms. A stringent check of the code with the gcc options '-Wall -pedantic' flags many nested functions and variable-length arrays that are not allowed in ISO C. Is it
