Synthetic plots: some history and examples

Synthetic plots: some history and examples

Jerzy Neyman and Elizabeth Scott developed the idea of synthetic plots. These plots are a display of the data values of an experiment side by side with a display of simulated data values, with the simulation-based on a considered stochastic model. The Neyman and Scott work concerned the distribution of galaxies on the celestial sphere. A review of their wo is presented here followed by personal...

Data Mining: Some examples and some directions

Many successful attempts have been made to deduce information from data. Such data might come from an explicit body of knowledge, for example from a data base. Alternatively the data might be implicit, for example the behaviour of a system. The system may itself be physical such as a helicopter or a factory, or it may be conceptual such as a financial system. The extraction of information from ...

Some Effective Oop Examples

This paper will present two examples that we feel can convince students of the benefits of object-oriented design and spur their interest. Both examples are well-known and fun to program. We first describe a sorting animation. In this project we will ask students to implement animation of various sorting algorithms, and for each sorting algorithm the user can choose one of two methods of animat...

nCal - Some Examples

The function ncal carries out nonlinear calibration, which entails fitting concentration-response curves to sets of samples of known concentrations, also known as standard samples, and using the fitted curves to obtain point estimates and confidence intervals for the analyte concentrations in the samples of interest, also known as the unknown samples. Take Luminex (Defawe et al., 2012) as an ex...
