Understanding String Quoting in R Introduction As a programmer, working with strings can be challenging, especially when it comes to quoting. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of string quoting in R and explore how to replace quoted strings with their unquoted counterparts. The Confusion Between Representation and Actual Values When working with strings in R, there’s often confusion between the actual value of a string and its representation.

Introduction to Bayesian Classification with VLMC and VLMC As machine learning practitioners, we often find ourselves dealing with classification problems where we need to predict a categorical label based on input features. One popular approach for solving such problems is Bayesian classification, which relies on Bayes’ theorem to update the probability of each class given new data. In this article, we’ll explore how to use the R package VLMC (Variable Length Markov Chain) to calculate the log likelihood of a second dataset under a model trained on a first dataset.

Packaging Custom Plugins for iOS PhoneGap Projects ===================================================== In this article, we will explore the process of packaging custom plugins for an iOS PhoneGap project. We will cover the steps involved in creating a library or framework from your custom plugins and discuss how to use it to generate an automated build script for your project. Introduction to Custom Plugins in PhoneGap PhoneGap is an open-source framework that allows you to build hybrid mobile applications using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Pandas DataFrame.values conversion error or feature? In this article, we’ll delve into a common question about the behavior of Pandas DataFrames when converting data using the values property. Specifically, we’ll explore why some users are experiencing unusual results when working with mixed data types, and what the underlying reasons for these behaviors might be. Understanding Pandas DataFrames Before diving into the specifics of the values property, let’s take a brief look at how Pandas DataFrames work.

Understanding NULL Value Count in GROUP BY Introduction When working with databases, we often encounter NULL values in our data. These NULL values can pose a challenge when it comes to counting and aggregating data. In this article, we will delve into the world of NULL values and explore how they affect GROUP BY queries. The Problem with NULL Values NULL values are used to represent missing or unknown data in a database table.

Understanding Oracle JOIN 2 tables on fields CHAR with different sizes Introduction Oracle is a powerful database management system used by millions of users worldwide. One of its features is the ability to join two or more tables based on common columns between them. However, when dealing with columns of different data types and sizes, things can get tricky. In this article, we will explore how to handle CHAR fields in Oracle that have different lengths and how to optimize JOIN queries.

Understanding Storyboarding with CoreData in Xcode In this article, we will explore the process of integrating CoreData with storyboarding in Xcode. We’ll start by discussing what storyboarding is and how it can be used to create a user-friendly interface for our app. Then, we’ll dive into the world of CoreData and learn how to use it to manage data in our app. What is Storyboarding? Storyboarding is a feature in Xcode that allows us to design our user interface visually using connections and segues.

Adding Whiskers to Multiple Boxplots ===================================== In data visualization, boxplots are a useful tool for comparing the distribution of datasets. However, one common feature often desired is to add whiskers (horizontal lines) to these plots. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this using the ggplot2 package in R. Background A boxplot, also known as a box-and-whisker plot, is a graphical representation that displays the distribution of a dataset’s values.

Creating a New Column Based on Values from Other Columns in Python Pandas Python’s pandas library provides an efficient way to manipulate and analyze data, particularly when it comes to data frames (2-dimensional labeled data structures). One common task when working with data is creating new columns based on values from existing ones. In this article, we’ll explore how to achieve this by standardizing prices in a currency column using USD as the reference point.

Applying a Function to Data by Column Class in RStudio using dplyr When working with data, it’s often necessary to apply functions to specific columns or groups of data. In this article, we’ll explore how to apply a function to your data by column class using the dplyr package in RStudio. Introduction to dplyr and Data Manipulation The dplyr package provides a powerful way to manipulate data in R. It’s designed around the concept of pipes, which allows you to chain multiple functions together to perform complex data operations.
