In the case of vaccines specifically, there is just a surprising amount of things we still don't understand. Vaccination is positively ancient technology (Smallpox circa 1796), but it is still difficult to say why e.g., some vaccines a

I bought directly and was passed around by Google and Huawei support for months (and multiple calls; hours of my time wasted - why can't anyone just do support by email anymore?) before ultimately giving up on getting the constant batt

> Is this "grammar of graphics" any good if you invest more time in it? For some, it was probably one of THE things that kept them using R over something else. Yes, definitely worth it.

Overemphasis on commercialization is a common complaint of the current funding situation in medical research, so I don't think we're failing for lack of interest in commercial exits. In fact, many scientist are serial entrepreneur

I think this is true, but it's also the case that businesses that cater to the very rich are doing very well. My wife works for a luxury retailer who's Vancouver location is seemingly supporting the entire company with it's s

Many (most) of the things we're interested in measuring in blood are bound to some sort large macro-molecular assembly... be it cells, lipid vesicles, large protein agglomerates, etc.

Faster because it isn't (currently) using compression (which rds uses by default) or faster period? Either way, the idea of mixed Python/R pipelines with feather file intermediates input/outputs is pretty sweet. Learn in scik

Large scale genomics initiatives certainly can be 'Big Data', but with the costs of read generation continuing to decrease, the pipelines described in the paper are going to come into the hands of smaller groups and be applied to

This is very much appreciated: 1. As mentioned by others, there really is very little data on HD failure rates. 2. When you first published your blog on failure rates across HD brands/models and SMART attributes many, myself included,

Does anyone happen to know whether the quad-core atom mentioned would be sufficiently powerful to handle being a Plex client or Steam streaming client machine? This would make a remarkably cheap living room client PC.

The R portion needs some serious filling - for starters: you include the Julia wrapper to glmnet, which was originally implemented in R. glmnet - lasso/ridge/elastic net glm models. e1071 - SVM classifiers. randomForest - random f
