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
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…
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.

This article is divided into three parts: the first part explains the definition of the economically dependent self-employed and proposes ideas for improving this definition of this dependency. The second part of this article is dedicated to the working conditions of the self-employed, while the last part compares the job satisfaction of the self-employed, employees and family workers.
