Ternary Diagrams Using R: An Example Using Election Outcomes
A tutorial by D. M. Wiig
In part one of this tutorial I discussed creating a ternary diagram using a simple data frame that contained five hypothetical cases. In this tutorial I will expand on that foundation by creating a more informative ternary diagram using live data.
A useful application of this package in social science research is creating a visual display of parliamentary election outcomes. Specifically we can use a ternary graph to examine the distribution of seats in the British House of Commons over a period of time. Since the UK uses a proportional system to allocate seats in the House of Commons there can be a variety of outcomes in any given national election.

Science Isn’t Broken
It’s just a hell of a lot harder than we give it credit for.
Graphics by Ritchie King
If you follow the headlines, your confidence in science may have taken a hit lately.
Peer review? More like self-review. An investigation in November uncovered a scam in which researchers were rubber-stamping their own work, circumventing peer review at five high-profile publishers.

KNIME Image Processing (trusted extension)

Apenas um exemplo das fantásticas possibilidades do KNIME
KNIME Image Processing (trusted extension)
Fri, 12/03/2010 – 13:09 — knime_admin
Overview
The KNIME Image Processing Plugin allows you to read in more than 120 different kinds of images (thanks to the Bio-Formats API) and to apply well known methods on images, like preprocessing. segmentation, feature extraction, tracking and classification in KNIME. In general these nodes operate on multi-dimensional image data (e.g. videos, 3D images, multi-channel images or even a combination of them), which is made possible by the internally used ImgLib2-API.
Several nodes are available to calculate image features (e.g. zernike-, texture- or histogram features) for segmented images (e.g. a single cell). These feature vectors can then be used to apply machine learning methods in order to train and apply a classifier.
Currently the Image Processing Plugin for KNIME provides ca. 100 nodes for (pre)-processing, filtering, segmentation, feature extraction, various views (2D, 3D), etc. and integrations for various other image processing tools are available (see used and integrated libraries)
Future directions include a full, bidirectional integration of ImageJ2. Such an integration allow the users to use directly use/update ImageJ2 Plugins inside KNIME as well as recording and running KNIME Workflows in ImageJ2. Please see ImageJ2 Integration (BETA) for more information.
For the first steps please consider the KNIME Image Processing User Manual (incomplete draft!).

Real Chart Rules to Follow
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under estatística, materiais ensino, visualização
Excelente guia sobre construção de gráficos para representar dados.
There are a lot of “rules” for visualization. Some are actual rules, and some are suggestions to help you make choices. Many of the former can be broken, if that’s what the data dictates and you know what you’re doing.
But, there are rules—usually for specific chart types meant to be read in a specific way and with few exceptions—that you shouldn’t break. When they are, everyone loses. This is that small handful.

Ternary Diagrams Using R: The ggtern Package
A tutorial by Douglas M. Wiig
There are a number of very useful and popular graphics packages available for R such as lattice, ggplot, ggplot2 and others. Some of these offer general purpose graphics capabilities and others are more specialized. A recently developed extension to the ggplot2 package is ggtern. This package is essentially a wrapper for a number of functions that can be used to create a variety of ternary diagrams. Ternary diagrams are useful when analyzing the relationship among three factors or elements. A ternary diagram essentially represents the proportions of three related factors in two-dimensional space.

Comprehensive Guide to Data Visualization in R
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under estatística, visualização
Bom resumo de alguns tipos de gráficos que podem ser obtidos no R, do mais simples a alguns mais complexos.
This visualization (originally created using Tableau) is a great example of how data visualization can help decision makers. Imagine telling this information to an investor through a table. How long do you think you will take to explain it to him?
With ever increasing volume of data in today’s world, it is impossible to tell stories without these visualizations. While there are dedicated tools like Tableau, QlikView and d3.js, nothing can replace a modeling / statistics tools with good visualization capability. It helps tremendously in doing any exploratory data analysis as well as feature engineering. This is where R offers incredible help.
R Programming offers a satisfactory set of inbuilt function and libraries (such as ggplot2, leaflet, lattice) to build visualizations and present data. In this article, I have covered the steps to create the common as well as advanced visualizations in R Programming.

visualização do intervalo de confiança

Boa forma de visualizar o conceito de Intervalo de Confiança Aleatório.
About the visualization
Some say that a shift from hypothesis testing to confidence intervals and estimation will lead to fewer statistical misinterpretations. Personally, I am not sure about that. But I agree with the sentiment that we should stop reducing statistical analysis to binary decision-making. The problem with CIs is that they are as unintuitive and as misunderstood p-values and null hypothesis significance testing. Moreover, CIs are often used to perform hypothesis tests and are therefore prone to the same misuses as p-values.

To automatically install these views, the ctv package needs to be installed, e.g., via
install.packages("ctv")
library("ctv")
and then the views can be installed via install.views or update.views (which first assesses which of the packages are already installed and up-to-date), e.g.,
install.views("Econometrics")
or
update.views("Econometrics")
