It is important, if not essential, to integrate the computations and code used in data analyses, methodological descriptions, simulations, so on with documents that describe rely them. This integration allows readers both verify adapt claims documents. Authors can easily reproduce results future, they present document's contents a different medium, for example, interactive controls. article describes software framework authoring distributing these integrated, dynamic contain text, code,...

We describe NIMBLE, a system for programming statistical algorithms general model structures within R. NIMBLE is designed to meet three challenges: flexible specification, language that can use different models, and balance between high-level programmability execution efficiency. For extends the BUGS creates objects, which manipulate variables, calculate log probability values, generate simulations, query relationships among variables. algorithm programming, provides functions operate with...

A growing number of students are completing undergraduate degrees in statistics and entering the workforce as data analysts. In these positions, they expected to understand how utilize databases other warehouses, scrape from Internet sources, program solutions complex problems multiple languages, think algorithmically well statistically. These science topics have not traditionally been a major component programs statistics. Consequently, curricular shift is needed address additional learning...

The nature of statistics is changing significantly with many opportunities to broaden the discipline and its impact on science policy. To realize this potential, our curricula educational culture must change. While there are for significant change in dimensions, we focus more narrowly computing call concepts be integrated into at all levels. Computational literacy programming as fundamental statistical practice research mathematics. We advocate that field needs define broadly include...

The diet of E. spelaea was determined for bats captured monthly between June 2002-June 2003 at a cave entrance in Songkhla Province, Southern Thailand. Faecal analysis and pollen collected from the bats' fur were used to identify plant species ingested. From 1,155 records 506 samples, least eleven taxa identified. Individual feed on flowers up six each night. Parkia spp. (34%) Musa (28%) have highest percentage frequency followed by Eugenia (9.4%), Oroxylum indicum (6.4%), Durio zibethinus...

Summary Significant efforts have been made to overhaul the introductory statistics courses by placing greater emphasis on statistical thinking and literacy less rules, methods procedures. We advocate broadening increasing this effort all levels of students and, importantly, using topical, interesting, substantive problems that come from actual practice statistics. want understand thought process “masters” in context, seeing their choices, different approaches explorations.

Summary The TreeBASE portal is an important and rapidly growing repository of phylogenetic data. R statistical environment has also become a primary tool for applied analyses across range questions, from comparative evolution to community ecology conservation planning. We have developed treebase , open‐source software package (freely available http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/treebase ) the programming environment, providing simplified, programmatic interactive access data in...

Abstract Statistical environments such as S, R, XLisp-Stat, and others have had a dramatic effect on the way we, statistics practitioners, think about data statistical methodology. However, possibilities challenges introduced by recent technological developments general ways we use computing conflict with computational model of these systems.

We describe an approach to creating interactive and animated graphical displays using R’s graphics engine Scalable Vector Graphics, XML vocabulary for describing two-dimensional displays. use the svg() device inR then post-process resulting documents. The post-processing identifies elements in SVG that correspond different components of display, e.g., points, axes, labels, lines. One can annotate these add interactivity animation effects. also JavaScript provide dynamic effects plot,...
