Let’s imagine a hypothetical situation. There’s an infection going round, and we want to predict the future severity of someone’s illness. There is a test that offers a good prediction. Let’s say the outcome of the test has a correlation of 0.78 with the patient's severity of infection. The problem with the test is that…
While implementing a quick toy example of Crane and Sawhney's really great Monte Carlo Geometry Processing paper, the question arose about whether a quick function I grabbed from The Internet to equally distribute points on a sphere was correct or not. Since it's absolutely the crux of the method, this is an important question! This notebook performs a rather unscientific check for equal distribution of points on the surface of a sphere. It uses the first algorithm from MathWorld
Survey responses reveal that beyond lack of journal access, convenience and antipathy toward publishers are key motivations for turning to paper repository By John TRavis, May 2016
Transform Defence for Sustainable Human Safety works to put sustainable human safety at the heart of 21st century foreign, defence, security and international development policy-making.

On April 17, 1761, English mathematician and Presbyterian minister Thomas Bayes passed away. He is best known as name giver of the Bayes' theorem, of which he had developed a special case. It expresses (in the Bayesian interpretation) how a subjective degree of belief should rationally change to account for evidence, and finds application in in fields including science, engineering, economics (particularly microeconomics), game theory, medicine and law.
Google has perhaps more than any other company become "The Internet Company." It's grown hand in hand with the internet and its entire business model has from the start been totally focused on the internet as a delivery platform. And let's face it, Google is a pretty interesting company. In fact, we think it's so interesting that we put together this infographic with a ton of facts and figures about Google. We've been digging through Google's SEC filings, news articles and the trusty old Wikipedia to get plenty of interesting data to include. We hope you like it!

El Objetivo del paquete aprendeR es facilitar que nuevas personas puedan R moderno con una curva de aprendizaje baja, y evitando que el inglés sea una barrera para que se puedan centrar en el aprendizaje competencial de R. Se incluyen traducciones al castellano de tutoriales presentes en otros paquetes (learnr, tutorial.helpers, r4ds.tutorials, ...), y eventualmente nuevos tutoriales más adelante.
