DataSift: Realtime Social Data Mining Platform. Welcome to the caBIG® Community Website — CDE Browser. PMN presentations recomendations. A GUI for R - Deducer Manual. An R Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Everyone Deducer is designed to be a free easy to use alternative to proprietary data analysis software such as SPSS, JMP, and Minitab. It has a menu system to do common data manipulation and analysis tasks, and an excel-like spreadsheet in which to view and edit data frames.

The goal of the project is two fold. Provide an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for R, encouraging non-technical users to learn and perform analyses without programming getting in their way. Increase the efficiency of expert R users when performing common tasks by replacing hundreds of keystrokes with a few mouse clicks. Also, as much as possible the GUI should not get in their way if they just want to do some programming. Deducer is designed to be used with the Java based R console JGR, though it supports a number of other R environments (e.g. Download and Install Join the Help/Discussion Group Screen shots Video introduction: New Users Existing R users Menu Structure Data.

Statistical Methods for Eliciting Probability Distributions. Ricardo Pietrobon - Google+ - Duke is paying for fees associated with open access… Duke is paying for fees associated with open access publications, at least within some limits which roughly comes down to approximately one or two articles/author/year. I personally didn't know about this up to this point. Below a list of institutions supporting their faculty in relation to open access, many of them without restrictions such as Johns Hopkins: for BMC: PloS: the issue is not without controversy, and I believe that one of the claims is that paying an institutional fee will potentially taint the peer-review process, unfairly facilitating the publication of articles that didn't have enough merit. My personal take is that this is an empirical question -- let's compare articles published by faculty members belonging to institutions who do or don't pay membership fees and check whether the publications coming out of the paying ones do indeed have less impact or are more frequently criticized for methodological flaws.

PERSPECTIVAL REALISM. LibraryCloud | Home. Missing-data inputation. The Spread of Start-Up America and the Rise of the High-Tech South - Richard Florida - Technology. Start-up culture is taking root in lots of places -- and not just the usual suspects. Some of the hottest hotbeds are in the South. The United States has been and continues to be one of the world's great start-up incubators, but with innovation no less than with agriculture, some places are much more fertile than others. What gives some cities and regions such extraordinary creative and entrepreneurial vitality -- and what holds others back? Paul Graham, who is reinventing venture capital for our time, has perhaps the clearest insights into what makes for a successful Start-Up Hub, the term he uses for places like Silicon Valley. Startups are fragile things by their very nature -- few succeed even under the best of circumstances.

Jane Jacobs identified almost exactly the same dynamic when I asked her some years ago why only a handful of places pioneer innovations and unleash the creativity of their residents, while most are content to sputter along, stagnate, and even die. ParticipatoryResearch.
