Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Nico Büttner. Wie schon gesagt, ich bin Gamer. Ich bin außerdem Freizeit-Spieleentwickler und Angestellter. Es ist also nicht weiter verwunderlich, dass Gamification (ich möchte hier bei der englischen Schreibweise bleiben) ein interessantes Thema für mich ist. Gemeint ist damit die Übertragung von Techniken, die üblicherweise in Spielen eingesetzt werden, auf andere Bereiche, unter anderem auf die Unternehmenswelt, mit dem übergeordneten Ziel, die Umsätze zu erhöhen. Per Definition zielt Gamification darauf ab, das Verhalten von Menschen zu verändern und sie dazu zu bringen, bereitwillig in der erwünschten Art und Weise zu agieren.

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: John Mount. We recently commented on excess package dependencies as representing risk in the R package ecosystem. The question remains: how much risk? Is low dependency a mere talisman, or is there evidence it is a good practice (or at least correlates with other good practices)? Well, it turns out we can quantify it: each additional non-core package declared as an “Imports” or “Depends” is associated with an extra 11% relative chance of a package having an indicated issue on CRAN. At over 5 non-core “Imports” plus “Depends” a package has significantly elevated risk. The number of ... Read More

Categories Getting Data Tags Data Management Plot R Programming Since the initial publication of the Three Factor Model by Eugene Fama and Kenneth French in their influential 1993 paper (Common Risk Factors in the Returns of Stocks and Bonds) a lot of academic research has been dedicated to the analysis of factors driving security returns. With the rise of quantitative investment management, this field has also attracted increasing awareness of practitioners trying to find factors that help them to select securities that generate superior returns or analyze the driving forces behind realized portfolio returns. Fortunately, ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R on Will Hipson. In this month’s post, I set out to create a visual network of emotions. Emotion Dynamics tells us that different emotions are highly interconnected, such that one emotion morphs into another and so on. I’ll be using a large dataset from an original study published in PLOS ONE by Trampe, Quoidbach, and Taquet (2015). Thanks to Google Dataset Search, I was able to locate this data. The data is collected from 11,000 participants who completed daily questionnaires on the emotions they felt at a given moment. The original paper is fascinating and I ... Read More
