R Programming
Welcome to the R programming Wikibook This book is designed to be a practical guide to the R programming language[1]. R is free software designed for statistical computing. How can you share your R experience ? Explain the syntax of a commandCompare the different ways of performing each task using R.Try to make unique examples based on fake data (ie simulated data sets).As with any Wikibook please feel free to make corrections, expand explanations, and make additions where necessary. Some rules : Prerequisites[edit] We assume that readers have a background in statistics. We also assume that readers are familiar with computers and that they know how to use software with a command-line interface.

Quick-R: Home Page Statistics with R Warning Here are the notes I took while discovering and using the statistical environment R. However, I do not claim any competence in the domains I tackle: I hope you will find those notes useful, but keep you eyes open -- errors and bad advice are still lurking in those pages... Should you want it, I have prepared a quick-and-dirty PDF version of this document. The old, French version is still available, in HTML or as a single file. You may also want all the code in this document. 1. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License.

Outright non-working code is unlikely, though occasionally my fingers fumble or code-rot occurs. Other useful materials Suggestions for learning R The R project is at : In particular, see the `other docs' there. Over and above the strong set of functions that you get in `off the shelf' R, there is a concept like CPAN (of the perl world) or CTAN (of the tex world), where there is a large, well-organised collection of 3rd party software, written by people all over the world. The dynamism of R and of the surrounding 3rd party packages has thrown up the need for a newsletter, R News. library(help=boot) library(boot) ? But you will learn a lot more by reading the article Resampling Methods in R: The boot package by Angelo J. Ajay Shah, 2005

Model visualisation. had.co.nz This page lists my published software for model visualisation. This work forms the basis for the third chapter of my thesis. classifly: Explore classification boundaries in high dimensions. Given p-dimensional training data containing d groups (the design space), a classification algorithm (classifier) predicts which group new data belongs to. clusterfly: Explore clustering results in high dimensions. Typically, there is somewhat of a divide between statistics and visualisation software. There are also some custom methods for certain types of clustering, mostly inspired by the work of Dr Dianne Cook: Self organising maps (aka Kohonen neural networks), ? meifly: Models explored interactively. Meifly is tool that uses R and GGobi to explore ensembles of linear models, where we look at all possible main effects models for a given dataset (or a large subset of these models). Installation Please make sure you have a current version of R and rggobi installed, then use the following R code:

Big Data, Data Mining, Predictive Analytics, Statistics, StatSoft Electronic Textbook This free ebook has been provided as a public service since 1995. Statistics: Methods and Applications textbook offers training in the understanding and application of statistics and data mining. It covers a wide variety of applications, including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business statistics, credit scoring, forecasting, social science statistics and survey research, data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others. The Textbook begins with an overview of the relevant elementary (pivotal) concepts and continues with a more in depth exploration of specific areas of statistics, organized by "modules", representing classes of analytic techniques.

RStudio Server Amazon Machine Image (AMI) - Louis Aslett Current AMI Quick Reference (27nd Jun 2015)Amazon instance type reference Click to launch through AWS web interface: What’s new recently? Easy Dropbox setup to make syncing files on/off server easy, including selective folder sync. Preinstalled RStudioAMI R package for server control. HVM AMIs for full current generation instance support. < Back to homepage Amazon’s EC2 platform provides a convenient environment for rapidly procuring computational resources in the cloud. To get started with the Amazon cloud, you must first signup for an AWS account if you don’t already have one. Click here for a simple video guide to using the AMIs listed here, or for more detailed information read on. What is this? If you want to run a server in the Amazon cloud, you have to select what system you are going to bootup. In particular, many common tools and dependencies are built-in. Why an RStudio AMI?

Building an R Hadoop System - RDataMining.com: R and Data Mining This page shows how to build an R Hadoop system, and presents the steps to set up my first R Hadoop system in single-node mode on Mac OS X. After reading documents and tutorials on MapReduce and Hadoop and playing with RHadoop for about 2 weeks, finally I have built my first R Hadoop system and successfully run some R examples on it. Here I’d like to share my experience and steps to achieve that. Before going through the complex steps below, let’s have a look what you can get, to give you a motivation to continue. Now let’s start. 1. 1.1 Download Hadoop Download Hadoop (hadoop-1.1.2-bin.tar.gz) at and then unpack it. 1.2 Set JAVA_HOME In conf/hadoop_env.sh, add the line below: export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home 1.3 Set up Remote Desktop and Enabling Self-Login System Preferences > Sharing (under Internet & Network), Under the list of services, check "Remote Login". ssh-keygen -t rsa -P "" cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys 2.

Cookbook for R » Cookbook for R developers:projects:gsoc2012:ropensci Summary: Dynamic access and visualization of scientific data repositories Description: rOpenSci is a collaborative effort to develop R-based tools for facilitating Open Science. Projects in rOpenSci fall into two categories: those for working with the scientific literature, and those for working directly with the databases. Visit the active development hub of each project on github, where you can see and download source-code, see updates, and follow or join the developer discussions of issues. Most of the packages work through an API provided by the resource (database, paper archive) to access data and bring it within reach of R’s powerful manipulation. See a complete list of our R packages currently in development. The student could choose to work on a package for a particular data repository of interest, or develop tools for visualization and exploration that could function across the existing packages.

10 tips for making your R graphics look their best So you've spent hours slaving over the code for a beautiful statistical graphic in R, and now you're ready to show it to the world. You might be printing it, embedding it in a document, or displaying it on the web. Don't do your graph a disservice by causing it to look anything less than perfect in its final venue. Here are 10 tips to help make sure your graphic will always look best. 1. It's tempting to just create graphics to the on-screen device (such as X11 on Linux or Quartz on MacOS) and then just use "Save As..." from the menu. The best practice is to create a script file that begins with a call to the device driver (usually pdf or png), runs the graphics commands, and then finishes with a call to dev.off(). png(file="mygraphic.png",width=400,height=350)plot(x=rnorm(10),y=rnorm(10),main="example")dev.off() 2. If you plan to print your graphic, you want to use a vector-based format. 3. The main choice you need to make when using png() is the dimensions of the graphic in pixels. 4.
