The last 6 weeks of blog time have been occupied by the construction of war-on-ice. And leave this one for data science-y explorations. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Amazon is great for backups of sites if you remember to make them.

I learned a very interesting relation between numerical integration and Bayesian inference from Diaconis. Which I shortly review in what follows. I am doing teaching assistantship for Monte Carlo methods course. I explained the following exercise as an application of the Monte Carlo principle. It is nice because it coincides with a very intuitive guess. Probabilistic models of nonnegative matrix factorisation.

Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science. I recommend as an easy default option. Are you ready to go fishing in the data lake? Posted by Aki Vehtari.

Applied Psychology, Research Methods, and Statistics. New R offerings, R blog. Anyway, I saw on some other blogs that a new company REvolution Computing. Aside from the product, they also have a pretty decent blog. Which is worth checking out. New book on team effectiveness in organizations, etc. I just received my copy of Team Effectiveness in Complex Organizations.

He certainly seems to know something about time series. We know that Tamino is Grant Foster. Kent Holsinger sends along this.

Monday, October 7, 2013. The connection between Linus Pauling and fMRI. When I think of Linus Pauling. Pauling, in fact, had had a long interest in the properties of blood. In 1936 he published an important paper on the magnetic properties of hemoglobin. Pauling did not envision an application at the time but from the mid-1960s on much work was done on engineering MR field gradients.

A simple one-line tweak can significantly speed up package installation and updates. See my post at the Jumping Rivers blog. A number of R, Stan and Scala courses around the UK.

Statistics, computing, data science, Bayes, stochastic modelling, systems biology and bioinformatics. Comonads for scientific and statistical computing in Scala. Statistical computing with Scala free on-line course. A quick introduction to Apache Spark for statisticians. Books on Scala for statistical computing and data science.

A practical use for - in R. And they are represented as a keyword surrounded by.

Place du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny. F-75775 Paris Cedex 16 FRANCE. Algebraic-geometric rigidity in analysis and in random structures. Read the story on my blog.
