A So-So Second Date with Julia A few months ago, I wrote a quite positive blog on the Julia analytics language, reveling in its MIT pedigree, its comprehensible structure, and its interoperability with data science stalwarts R and Python. I demonstrated some of Julia's capabilities with a skinny data set of daily stock index values, and I showed it collaborating with R's powerful ggplot graphics subsystem. This time around, I decided to test Julia against a much meatier data set -- one that I've already examined extensively with both R and Python. I find ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R on kieranhealy.org. Data Visualization: A Practical Introduction will begin shipping next week. I’ve written an R package that contains datasets, functions, and a course packet to go along with the book. The socviz package contains about twenty five datasets and a number of utility and convenience functions. The datasets range in size from things with just a few rows (used for purely illustrative purproses) to datasets with over 120,000 observations, for practicing with and exploring. A course packet is also included the package. This is a zipped file containing an R Studio project consisting of nine ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: William Vorhies. Summary:  We’re rapidly approaching the point where AI will be so pervasive that it’s inevitable that someone will be injured or killed.  If you thought this was covered by simple product defect warranties it’s not at all that clear.  Here’s what we need to start thinking about. So far the press reports of AI misbehavior fall mostly in the humorous or embarrassingly incompetent categories.  Alexa orders doll houses when a little girl asks it to.  Robot guards fall into pools or push people over.  Google tags black people as ...

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Jakob Gepp. We at STATWORX work a lot with R and we often use the same little helper functions within our projects. These functions ease our daily work life by reducing repetitive code parts or by creating overviews of our projects. At first, there was no plan to make a package, but soon I realised, that it will be much easier to share and improve those functions, if they are within a package. Up till the 24th December I will present one function each day from helfRlein. So, on the 12th day of Christmas my true love ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Sean Justice. Motivation for Project Around the time that I was selecting a topic for this project, my parents and my hometown found themselves in the path of a Category 1 hurricane. Thankfully, everyone was ok, and there was only minor damage to their property. But this event made me think about how long it had been since the last time my hometown had been in the path of a Category 1 hurricane. I also wanted to study trends in hurricane intensity over time to see if it corresponds to the popular impression that storms have grown ... Read More

Feed: Hortonworks Blog – Hortonworks. Author: Bikas Saha. This is the third in a series of data engineering blogs that we plan to publish. The first blog outlined the data science and data engineering capabilities of Hortonworks Data Platform. Motivation Apache Spark is becoming the de-facto processing framework for all kinds of complex processing including ETL, LOB business data processing and machine learning. This is because of the simple and intuitive APIs for common data processing operations and deep integration with popular languages like Java, Scala, Python and R. Increasingly, it’s also being adopted for continuous processing scenarios using the ... Read More
