R Programming Langauge

R is solid but Python is still better for data science. Python owns AI and machine learning right now.

Software engineering is a license to print $$$ right now get on it ASAP fellas. It’s not that hard and beats my gig at the dick sucking factory for sure

SanchoRG, why do you say that Python is better for data science than R, and for machine learning too.

Actually my interest in these topics is for strategic overview purposes, not for employment seeking.

As it seems to me, Python, Ruby, Io, and R, are actually very similar in function. You have a C language interpreter, open source. And then there are thousands and thousands of extensions. You make these by writing an expansion to the language via expanding the interpreter. And then this connects via Dynamic Linking. They you call your new routines from the language itself.

So while there are some strengths and weaknesses, looks like what ever one of the does, you could make the other three do.

Do you have more info about any of this?

Thanks.

In hand now,

Statistics With R, A Beginner's Guide, by Robert Stinerock 2018.

Book is so so, general overview of statistics, more statistics appreciation. Not like math text book, laying things our rigorously and proving all assertions. I guess this is how Busness students do things.

Geometric Mean, as opposed to ordinary Mean, Permutations and Combinations, Bayes Thm, Binomial Thm, and Regression. Worth understanding and using, but not that difficult.

As far as R itself, not that much info about how to program it.

Wants us to download from
https://www.r-project.org/

and also rstudio
https://www.rstudio.com/

Interesting, author said he considered writing his book around Excel.

Is there an open source Linux alternative to Excel? Spread sheets are useful.

Decades ago you could by source code for libraries which would link from C code to Excel file format.

But now I think they have got it so you can use Dynamic Linking to write directly into Excel.

Explains here:

Floating point, C versus Fortran

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2002…

x86 versus x64
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2271…

speed?
https://top.quora.com/Is-FORTRAN-faster-…

"I can tell you as a fact that almost all oceanographic and meteorological models are written in Fortran (Fortran 90 to be precise). Fortran has evolved to be extremely fast on this kind of computations. Many supercomputers are designed for this kind of applications. For example I know that in 2014 Cray supercomputers did not have C++11 compilers provided by Cray, but maybe this has changed now. In many cases you simply do not have the choice of the language to use."

"It is possible to interface Fortran with C++ (see Using C/C++ and Fortran together) and so combine the best of both worlds. This led to situation where typically Fortran is used for low level code and C++ for high level."

Okay, so this is the first stuff I have seen in print which endorses Fortran over C.

C/C++ versus MatLab versus Fortran
http://compgroups.net/comp.programming/f…

we also have this C-lang and g++, I guess other C like languages?

Intel Fortran, floating point
http://linux.iingen.unam.mx/pub/Document…

"Extended-precision real, expressed explicitly as REAL (KIND=16) or REAL*16" bottom of page 14

So I think that this means if you want to use 80 bits, you flag it to be moved around as 128 bits. Or maybe you really can do 128 bits?

So maybe 128 bits is emulated in software? page 24

page 26
"Intrinsic REAL kinds are 4 (single precision), 8 (double precision), and 16 (extended precision), such as REAL(KIND=4) for single-precision floating-point data. Intrinsic COMPLEX kinds are also 4 (single precision), 8 (double precision), and 16 (extended precision)."

So they have 128 bits, but probably not in hardware.

page 28 shows the 128 byte reals, and their complex counter parts.

So they must be committed to this market, to maintain their own Fortran complier. But they talk about Intel IA-32 and IA-64 architectures. These don't sound like the x86 architecture, which is where the 80 bit co processors came from.

Need to find out more.

So the R language is about statistics and floating point.

So I want to know about these Intel IA-32 and IA=64 architectures, and about how they do floating point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-32

So it says that IA-32 is basically the 386. Okay, I understand that. In that 32 bit mode, it breaks with 286, and it does everything with 32 bit registers, like eax, ebx, ecx, edx. Cool!

Everything 32 bit. Gives you 4 Gig of addressing. But it also allows some sort of offset segmentation to get 48 bits total of addressing space. This would be 256 T bytes. Holy Shit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fo…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_x8…

So then IA-64

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-64

also called Intel Itanium architecture

Instruction set actually originated with Hewlett-Packard

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium

https://ark.intel.com/products/family/45…

Prices have been as high as $3.6 k

architecture tutorial
https://web.archive.org/web/201107062231…

So on page 11 it says there are 128 floating bit registers and they are 82 bits wide. First time I have seen 82 bits.

1999 document

page 37 talks about:
SIMD Floating Point operations (e.g. fpma)

IEEE standard, as of 2008
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-2…

Draft Standard 59 pages, IEEE 2006, talks about 16, 32, 64, and 128 bit floating point.
http://754r.ucbtest.org/web-2008/drafts/…

But doing this is software is not a big deal. Mathematica will give you what ever precision you ask for. How about what the hardware does.

Also, no mention of 80 or 82 bits.

Only second time I have seen 128 bits mentioned ( 16 bytes ) gives 34 decimal digits and exponents +/- 6143

Quadruple-precision floating-point format
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple-…

So much digging and then: Pay Dirt!

Saturday I reported on a man who had vanished from a 49er's stadium game the previous Monday. Saturday they found a body in the water near the old unused Alviso Marina and some old concrete boat ramps. The stuff is unused because silt comes in from the bay and fills it up.

I have years ago explored all around there. It is interesting, but even in the day time potentially dangerous. I once got stuck hip deep in mud and a shoe came off. Getting my foot back into the shoe I was able to recover it. But I was taking more risks in doing so.

This man was in the military, maybe Special Forces. So likely he handles himself quite well in the outdoors, even at night.

Not sure if any conclusions have been reached, but to me it sounds more and more like a suicide. Left his cell phone, battery run down to zero, in his car at the stadium. Also left his girl friend and her two kids there. But talking on the phone and using video up until the point he vanished.

https://heavy.com/news/2018/11/ian-power…

I believe that police probably have more tidbits of information which they are not going to disclose until they are ready to close the case.

In a homicide it is usually those closest to the deceased who did it, and they are exposed by the contradictions in their stories. To me, this is sounding more and more like a suicide.

Here it sound like he was found at the boat launch, though those concrete ramps are unusable do to silt.

So I have Modern data science with R / Benjamin S. Baumer, Daniel T. Kaplan, and Nicholas J. Horton. (2017)
Chapman & Hall/CRC
Texts in Statistical Science Series

It is a huge book packed with info. And quite new too.

They list over 50, and they all look really good. CRC Press is always good, and our academic libraries have a good number of their titles.

I want to start here looking at the material in Appendix F, how to connect R to databases. This had after all been an area of concern for me.

Finding that I have to absorb information holographically. Lots and lots of books I need to access, to get all of what I want.

So what I am seeing, and this book confirms it, is this, to do what you want you add expansion modules to the interpreter. The interpreter is a straight C program. Not too big. You do stuff by adding expansion modules. These typically are C modules, and then some R code. You can access these without changing the original source code and compiling and re-linking because you will use Dynamic Linking. This is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.

I presume that the expansion R code can pass connection info for the new C language interpreter code.

So then you use this to get to the data bases, MySQL or PostgreSQL. You do this via the Client Server interface, now accommodated for in each of the operating systems.

So this alleviates my concern about having to transfer through text files. It actually is very well done.

And they cover MySQL and PostgreSQL. They do not talk about MongoDB or any other NoSQL databases.

They also talk about SQLite. Now generally you can just write a program and link to the code for this and include it in your executable. But here you probably do still use dynamic linking, and you might still use the client server interface. Not sure, but I am confident it will work out well.

As I see it, if it is "Enterprise" data and you need complex access control, then you need MySQL or PostgreSQL. But if it just pertains to running your program, then probably SQLite is better.

As I see it though, no one wants to write much of a program using an interpreted language, its 100x slower. Want to use C++.

But the thing is, need some way for the user to input data to the program and to control it. Nice to be able to let the user be able to change this themselves. So this is where the interpretive language comes in, as the natural dividing line for what the user can change, and what they cannot.

You don't ever want a user to be able to change code and then expect you to maintain it, fork your software. And dealing with a large corp, run very sloppily, that could happen if you are not careful. So anything of any complexity is in your C++, and complied up and kept shut. Then in the interpretive language you just set up a chain type program which moves through its parts. The user can change this.

Okay, but the upshot of this is that considering Python, Ruby, R, and Io, for anything one of them can do, it should not be too difficult to make the others do it too. You just need to write your own program in the form of an expansion module.

So is there any reason to do some stuff using one of them and other stuff using another? Or better just to pick one and use it for everything?

Python, at least initially, it does not impress me. But I see Python being invoked for lots of R like applications.

Ruby seems to be intended as a corrective, and it seems to be getting used as such. Io, at least initially, it looks to me like something good for embedded applications, like a replacement for Forth. But for R, and really all of them, I still have much more to learn.

As far was why R uses something written in Fortran, sounds like it is just some legacy mathematical module. I though am not averse to using Fortran, not even for new stuff, if that makes it fit well within a tradition.

Still much more to learn.

Universal jurisdiction is the principle that some crimes are so heinous that the courts of any country can and in certain cases must take jurisdiction over them. Universal jurisdiction is international law’s response to the spectacle of tyrants and torturers who cover themselves at home with immunity and impunity. It is the principle that led to the arrest, for instance, of Chilean General Augusto Pinochet when he traveled to London. It’s the principle under which the former dictator of Chad, Hissène Habré, was prosecuted in Senegal.

So this is a huge book packed with info.

So I have Modern data science with R / Benjamin S. Baumer, Daniel T. Kaplan, and Nicholas J. Horton. (2017)
Chapman & Hall/CRC
Texts in Statistical Science Series

As I see it, the appeal of R is mainly the 10,000 plus expansion modules written for it, not the intrinsic s of the language itself.

R is like the new Fortran, much loved, but actually already out of date.

Want to try and capture so of the critical links it offers:

so to get to the databases you use the modules

RMySQL, RPostgreSQL, RSQLite.

But they want you to use another module DBI, to get to the above 3.

And then dplyr is supposedly even better to get to DBI. But sounds like not always.

Also talking about Python and what is available for it:

most R like is Pandas

SciPy for scientific computation

NumPy for large arrays

matplotlib for graphics

scikit-learn for machine learning

Much attention paid to works of Hadley Wickham

Advanced R / Hadley Wickham (2015) even deals with functional programming.

Wickham very big in the R community and has written many of the librarys, like that dplyr.

To be able to make a comprehensive appraisal of R, I will have to read many more books. R does have some provisions for using parallel processing. But to use it for Process Control/Automatic Test, you will want some kind of concurrency. This is because the controller is to do its housekeeping tasks while the other equipment is busy. Not seeing this.

R look much like APL (Array Processing Language). I had read this, but I actually see it because I read the book about APL, and because some academic libraries still had the book.

In R the basic variable is a vector. This has its uses. I think they can also be like database records, hence two dimensional. And I think the records or items in the vectors can be different length.

This can all be useful, but R and all of these new languages are object oriented. One of the benefits of that should be that you can make your own forms of composite variables. You can define these and the manipulation routines yourself.

So the above authors say that Statisticians love R, where as Computer Scientists love Python.

Well as I see it, Python could be made to do all that R does. And further, Computer Scientists seem to love Ruby, and be running away now from Python.

So this is a major book, but most of what is in it is about using some of the major R packages. The R language itself, and how you might make your own expansion package are not really dealt with.

So let me try and summarize the best of the book.

So they endorse R and RStudio.

knitr() is a reproducible analysis system.

msdr is the above book.

https://mdsr-book.github.io/

ggplot2 is the main package they use for graphics, including spatial maps and scatter plots and everything.

'library(msdr)' loads the msdr expansion package for the book.

ggplot2 could be extremely useful. Don't know though if you can make its stuff into JSON's, or if you download to server is picture.

These authors are using this Mosaic System.

SJG

MDSR Book:
https://mdsr-book.github.io/

ggplot2 works good with geographical and spatial maps. Could be very useful.

Data Wrangling:

dplyr is one step more abstract than SQL.

so it has

select() take a subset of the colums

filter() take a subset of the rows

mutate() add or modify existing columns

arrange() sort the rows

summarize() aggregate the data across rows

Now you have inner_join() this would be the most common type of join. And remember it translates down to SQL.

But there is also left, right, and cross join. Then there is union.

This is the stuff that even for seemingly small jobs, can take days of pumping the hard disk non-stop. This is where the relational database paradigm breaks down, in my opinion and experience.

Talk about the pipeline operator in R

'%>%'

Data Formats:

Octave ( and through that, MATLAB ) engineering and physics

Stata commonly used for economic research

SPSS commonly used for social science

Minitab often used in business applications

SAS often used for large data sets

Epi used by Center for Disease Control

Data can go in and out of Excel and Google spread sheets.

Should be able to make this and more work with Mozilla-Apache Calc, as it is open source

HTML '<table>' format

XML

JSON

CSV ( comma separated values )

tidyr package is for Tidy Data

So finished with R for Microsoft Excel users : making the transition for statistical analysis / Conrad Carlberg (2017)

Carlberg is an expert of quantitative analysis.

https://www.lynda.com/Conrad-Carlberg/49…

Overall I have to say that this book deals with statistics going much much further than I ever have.

It must be the Social and Biological Sciences which need this. More than anything is the premise that you do not have much control over what is happening. So you collect and analyze data.

Things I have done demand that you deliver results, not data.

As I see it, statiticians like R because of the high power packages written for it, not because of anything about the language itself. It is because it runs in a Dynamic Linking environment, and because the C language interpreter is written to allow easy addition of these packages.

Thing is though, it works just like that in Python, Ruby, and the new Io, and you could also do it in the complied languages.

So Desc seems to mean Descriptive Statistics. And DescTools is an R package to do this. Most of my own professional use of statistics has gone no further than this.

So you get R from Comprehensive R Archive Network

https://cran.r-project.org

You'll be installing R packages, on top of the language, and you can also remove these one by one.

You can run scripts under R.

Talks about getting data in an out of Excel using CSV files ( comma delimited ) But this also means numbers being converted to text. This should be only a last resort.

MS-Windows, in its dynamic link libraries, has ways to get anything in and out of Excel.

book says that XLGetRange, does it on an open worksheet.

I would prefer that they talked more about Apache-Mozilla Calc. As that is open source, we should be able to make it do whatever we want.

Talk about Access, the relational database in the Microsoft Access Suite. Anyone use Access?

Talk about getting data in and out, and going through Excel. Again, should not have to use text and commas. Bill should be merging Excel and Access into one.

Dataframe is what they call it in R. It is a rectangular array of data. But it is not just that, it is also often row and column heads.

The DescTools package automatically gets you the RDCOM client, which gets you XLGetRange

Gets into much more involved statistics, Analysis of variance and covariance, using Excel and R.

ANOVA.

Then Logistic Regression

Then doing a principal components worksheet. There is an R matrix.

Excel does much with matices, like multiplication, determinants, and inverses. These last two are not simple to program. And Carlberg criticizes Bill for taking too many years to make it work well.

Then this gets into Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors.

Never professionally used anything like this, just not that involved in statistics, more involved in solving problems.

But I must confess, there was a time long ago when I thought that because of online stock market quotes, like say through Compuserve, that it would be possible to use methods like above to predict the stock market and gain real money profits.

Well, that was when I learned that the big boys are already mile ahead. And so what profits could be gotten out of such markets that way, they are already reaping.

The stock market is a rigged game if there ever was one.

Will be reading more about R soon. Looking to get:

R for data science : import, tidy, transform, visualize, and model data / Hadley Wicham and Garrett Grolemund.(2017) Good book for all the mechanics of R.

Wicham is real big in the R community, an author of the dplyr package for using client server mode to get in and out of all of these databases, without commas or converting to text.

Might want to read a book which compares R to SAS first, and there is also one which compares R to Matlab.

The book of R : a first course in programming and statistics / by Tilman M. Davies (2016)

Lots and lots could be said about the R language. Let me just start by saying that I am impressed with the expansion modules written for it, more than 10,000 of them. But I am not impressed by the language itself. It is out of date. The real problem is that it is only lightly object oriented. Using object orientation is how you create your own variable structures, and the method for working with them.

What R has built in is interesting, and I am sure that it works for some things, but I also know that it will not work well for everything.

Should start building on a better language. Python might be better. But I know for sure that Ruby is better.

R books say that Statisticians like R, but Computer Scientists like Python..

Well that should tell you something. Statisticians are going for R just like Physicists go for FORTRAN. They do this because of the existing software and the familiarity. And then, really the Computer Scientists seem to go more for Ruby.

So I look at there example of how the standard statistics works. I was doing more involved stuff than that 25 years ago.

You don't want to be writing programs in R. That should just be how custom reports are asked for. You write your programs in C++, as an expansion to the interpreter.

But this book does not talk about that.

I read though that the same publisher
The art of R programming : tour of statistical software design / by Norman Matloff (2011 caution)

This should get more into the areas I have interest in.

So this is a very large book.

The Book of R, by Tilman M. Davies ( 2016 No Starch Press )
https://www.amazon.com/Book-First-Course…

So this though deals a great deal with statistics, instructing us about statistics, as opposed to laying out the critical computer issues. These later are more of my current interest. They recommend their other book:

The Art of R Programming: A Tour of Statistical Software Design, by Norman Matloff
https://www.amazon.com/Art-Programming-S…

And then what I think really will give me what I want:

R Packages: Organize, Test, Document, and Share Your Code, by Hadley Wickham
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/149191…

So let me try and record some of the more important stuff in the Tilman Davies book.

Official Site, should have good online documentation
https://www.r-project.org/

CRAN
Comprehensive R Archive Network

R has its own GUI, with two windows nominally, Console and Editor.

Package used in the book, 'MASS'

book about it from S

Modern applied statistics with S / W.N. Venables, B.D. Ripley. (2002)

so you can install, update, or remove packages.

You can also get help, ?? or ? about something.

There are third party editors, but the most well liked is Rstudio
https://www.rstudio.com/

And there is Rmarkdown, making your work repeatable.

a (dot)Rdata file holds everything from your R session.

You can type stuff into R, using it as a calculator.

Works well with directory trees and paths, and you can view this.

Vectors are important, as we have seen in APL ( Array Processing Language )

Matrices are two dimensional. Arrays can be 3, not sure if it can be more. But still seems to fall far short of a deeply object oriented language.

So you can do all sorts of matrix operations, including the inverse, as 'solve'

Matrix computations / Gene H. Golub, Charles F. Van Loan (2013) looks really really good. Davies though is referencing an earlier edition.

But still need more than this.

Non-Numeric Values:
TRUE and FALSE, logical comparisons, strings and characters, concatenations.

Lots more books now to read about R and other computer languages, mostly server side.

But, I need now to do some stuff, probably using JavaScript and related. So I likely have to let this thread close for now, and make a new thread for JavaScript and other client side stuff.

So many books to read and such a well working reading plan I have had. But it has gotten derailed by things I need to do right now.

I'm not against acoustic guitar, its just that I like electric guitar music so much. And electric guitar can do things which acoustic guitar cannot. Needs to feel like you are there with them, not like it is just a contrived television show. Letting this finally be the psychedelia it was intended to be.
