How many statisticians does it take to split a bill?
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under estatística, software
stas
Some thoughts on the Fall term, now that Spring is well under way [edit: added a few more points]:
- RMarkdown and knitr are amazing. When I next teach a course using R, my students will be turning in homeworks using these tools: The output immediately shows whether the code runs and what its results are. This is much better than students copying and pasting possibly-broken code and unconnected output into a text file or (gasp) Word document.
- I’m glad my cohort socializes outside the office, taking each other out for birthday lunches or going to see a Pirates game. Some of the older PhD students are so focused on their thesis work that they don’t take time for a social break, and I’d like to avoid getting stuck in that rut.
However! Our lunches always lead us back to the age old question: How many statisticians does it take to split a bill? Answer: too long. I threw together a Shiny app, DinneR, to help us answer this question.

Using Dates and Times in R
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under estatística, software
Today at the Davis R Users’ Group, Bonnie Dixon gave a tutorial on the various ways to handle dates and times in R. Bonnie provided this great script which walks through essential classes, functions, and packages. Here it is piped throughknitr::spin
. The original R script can be found as a gist here.

Interactive maps with R
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under software, visualização
You can make static maps in R relatively well, if you know what packages to use and what to look for, but there isn’t much direct interaction with your graphics. rMaps is a package that helps you create maps that you can mouse over and zoom in to.
Don’t get too excited though. A scan of the docs shows that it’s basically a wrapper around JavaScript libraries Leaflet, DataMaps and Crosslet, so you could learn those directly instead, and you’d be better for it in the long run if you plan to make more maps. But if you’re just working on a one-off or must stay in R because your life depends on, rMaps might be an option.

Como otimizar um processo de negócio
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under Investigação Operacional, software
Neste artigo apresentarei uma técnica prática e eficaz para o aprimoramento dos processos corporativos, o mapeamento de processos. Esta técnica é apenas a ponta do iceberg de um tema muito mais abrangente denominado Business Process Management (BPM), ou Gestão por Processos de Negócio. Explicarei brevemente a metodologia de BPM, seus benefícios e ferramentas, mas o foco de nossa conversa é o primeiro passo desta metodologia o MAPEAMENTO DE PROCESSOS.

Docear – The Academic Literature Suite
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under materiais para profissionais, refs bibliográficas, software
Docear is a unique solution to academic literature management, i.e. it helps you organizing, creating, and discovering academic literature. Among others, Docear offers:
- A single-section user-interface that allows the most comprehensive organization of your literature. With Docear, you can sort documents into categories; you can sort annotations (comments, bookmarks, and highlighted text from PDFs) into categories; you can sort annotations within PDFs; and you can view multiple annotations of multiple documents, in multiple categories – at once.
- A ‘literature suite concept‘ that combines several tools in a single application (pdf management, reference management, mind mapping, …). This allows you to draft your own papers, assignments, thesis, etc. directly in Docear and copy annotations and references from your collection directly into your draft.
- A recommender system that helps you to discover new literature: Docear recommends papers which are free, in full-text, instantly to download, and tailored to your information needs.
And did we mention that Docear is free, open source, available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, and not evil?
