Chapter 1 Introduction
Welcome! In this guide, we will teach you about statistics using the statistical software R with the interface provided by R Studio. The purpose of this chapter to is provide you with a set of activities that get you up-and-running in R quickly so get a sense of how it works. In later chatpers we will revisit these same topics in more detail.
1.1 A focus on workflow
An important part of this guide is training you in a workflow that will avoid many problems than can occur when using R.
1.2 R works with plug-ins
R is a statistical language with many plug-ins called packages that you will use for analyses. You can think of R as being like your smartphone. To do things with your phone you need an App (R equivalent: a package) from the App Store (R equivalent: CRAN). Apps need to be downloaded (R equivalent: install.packages) before you can use them. To use the app you need Open it (R equivalent: library command). These similarities are illustrated in Table 1.1 below.
| Smart Phone Terminology | R Terminology |
|---|---|
| App | package |
| App Store | CRAN |
| Download App from App Store | install.packages(“apaTables”, dependencies = TRUE) |
| Open App | library(“apaTables”) |
1.3 Create an account at R Studio Cloud
R Studio Cloud accounts are free and required for this guide. Please go to the website and set up a new account.
1.4 Join the class workspace
To do the assignment required for this class you need to join the class workspace on R Studio Cloud. To do so:
Log into R Studio Cloud (if you haven’t already done so).
Go to your university email account and find the message with the subject “R Studio Workspace Invitation”. In this message there is a link to the class R Studio Cloud workspace.
Click on the workspace link in the email or paste it into your web browser. You should see a screen like the one below in Figure 1.1. Click on the Join button.
- Then you should see the welcome message illustrated in Figure 1.2. Above this message is the Projects menu option. Click on the word Project.
- You should now see the First Project displayed as in 1.3. Click the Start button. You will then move to a view of R Studio.
- In R Studio it is essential you use projects to keep your files organized and in the same spot. For this course, when your start an assignment on R Studio Cloud and the project will already have been made for you.  There are a few key elements to the user interface that are illustrated in Figure 1.4 In the lower right of the screen you can see the a panel with several tabs (i.e., Files, Plots, Packages, etc) that I will refer to as the Files pane. You look in this pane to see all the files associated with your project. On the left side of the screen is the Console which is an interactive pane where you type and obtain results in real time. I’ve placed two large grey blocks on the screen with text to more clearly identify the Console and Files panes. Not shown in this figure is the Script panel where we can store our commands for later reuse.
1.5.1 Console panel
When you first start R, the Console panel is on the left side of the screen. Sometimes there are two panels on the left side (one above the other); if so, the Console panel is the lower one (and labeled accordingly). We can use R a bit like a calculator. Try typing the following into the Console window: 8 + 6 + 7 + 5. You can see that R immediately produced the result on a line preceded by two hashtags (##).
## [1] 26
We can also put the result into a variable to store it. Later we can use the print command to see that result. In the example below we add the numbers 3, 0, and 9 and store the result in the variable my_sum. The text “<-” indicate you are putting what is on the right side of the arrow into the variable on the left side of the arrow. You can think of a variable as cup into which you can put different things. In this case, imagine a real-world cup with my_sum written on the outside and inside the cup we have stored the sum of 3, 0, and 9 (i.e., 12).
We can inspect the contents of the my_sum variable (i.e., my_sum cup) with the print command:
## [1] 12
Variable are very useful in R. We will use them to store a single number, an entire data set, the results of an analysis, or anything else.
1.5.2 Script Panel
Although you can use R with just with the Console panel, it’s a better idea to use scripts via the Script panel - not visible yet. Scripts are just text files with the commands you use stored in them. You can run a script (as you will see below) using the Run or Source buttons located in the top right of the Script panel.
Scripts are valuable because if you need to run an analysis a second time you don’t have to type the command in a second time. You can run the script again and again without retyping your commands. More importantly though, the script provides a record of your analyses.
A common problem in science is that after an article is published, the authors can’t reproduce the numbers in the paper. You can read more about the important problem in a surprising article in the journal Molecular Brain. In this article an editor reports how a request for the data underlying articles resulted in the wrong data for 40 out of 41 papers. Long story short – keep track of the data and scripts you use for your paper. In a later chapter, it’s generally poor practice to manipulate or modify or analyze your data using any menu driven software because this approach does not provide a record of what you have done.
1.6 Writing your first script
1.6.1 Create the script file
Create a script in your R Studio project by using the menu File > New File > R Script.
Save the file with an appropriate name using the File menu. The file will be saved in your Project folder. A common, and good, convention for naming is to start all script names with the word “script” and separate words with an underscore. You might save this first script file with the name “script_my_first_one.R”. The advantage of beginning all script files with the word script is that when you look at your list of files alphabetically, all the script files will cluster together. Likewise, it’s a good idea to save all data files such that they begin with “data_”. This way all the data files will cluster together in your directory view as well. You can see there is already a data file with this convention called “data_okcupid.csv”.
You can see as discussed previously, we are trying to instill an effective workflow as you learn R. Using a good naming convention (that is consistent with what others use) is part of the workflow. When you write your scripts it’s a good idea to follow the tidyverse style guide for script names, variable name, file names, and more.
1.6.2 Add a comment to your script
In the previous section you created your first script. We begin by adding a comment to the script. A comment is something that will be read by humans rather than the computer/R. You make comments for other people that will read your code and need to understand what you have done. However, realize that you are also making comments for your future self as illustrated in an XKCD cartoon.
A good way to start every script is with a comment that includes the date of your script (or even better when you installed your packages, more on this later). Like smartphone apps, packages are updated regularly. Sometimes after a package is updated it will no longer work with an older script. Fortunately, the checkpoint package lets users role back the clock and use older versions of packages. Adding a comment with the date of your script will help future users (including you) to use your script with the same version of the package used when you wrote the script. Dating your script is an important part of an effective and reproducible workflow.
Note that in the above comment I used the internationally accepted date format order Year/Month/Day. Some people use the mnemonic Your My Dream to remember this order. Wikipedia provides more information about the Internationally Date Format ISO 8601.
Moving forward, I suggest you use comments to make your own personal notes in your own code as your write it.
1.6.3 Background about the tidyverse
There are generally two broad ways of using R, the older way and the newer way. Using R the older way is refered to as using base R. A more modern approach to using R is the tidyverse. The tidyverse represents a collection of packages the work together to give R a modern workflow. These packages do many things to help the data analyst (loading data, rearranging data, graphing, etc.). We will use the tidyverse approach to R in this guide.
A noted the tidyverse is a collection of packges. Each package adds new commands to R. The number of packges and correspondingly the number of new commands added to R by the tidyverse is large. Below is a list of the tidyverse packages:
## [1] "broom" "cli" "crayon" "dbplyr"
## [5] "dplyr" "forcats" "ggplot2" "haven"
## [9] "hms" "httr" "jsonlite" "lubridate"
## [13] "magrittr" "modelr" "pillar" "purrr"
## [17] "readr" "readxl" "reprex" "rlang"
## [21] "rstudioapi" "rvest" "stringr" "tibble"
## [25] "tidyr" "xml2" "tidyverse"
Before you can use a package it needs to be installed – this is the same as downloading an app from the App Store. Normally, you can install a single packages with the install.packages command. Previously, you needed run an install.package command for every package in the tidyverse as illustrated below (though we no longer use this approach).
# The old way of installing the tidyverse packages
# Like downloading apps from the app store
install.packages("broom", dep = TRUE)
install.packages("cli", dep = TRUE)
install.packages("ggplot", dep = TRUE)
# etc
Fortunately, the tidyverse packages can now by installed with a single install.packages command. Specifically, the install.packages command below will install all of the packages listed above.
Class note: For the “First Lab”, I’ve done the install.packages for you. So there is no need to use the install.packages command below in this first lab.
1.6.4 Add library(tidyverse) to your script
The tidyverse is now installed, so we need to activate it. We do that with the library command. Put the library line below at the top of your script file (below your comment):
1.6.5 Activate tidyverse auto-complete for your script
Select the library(tidyverse) text with your mouse/track-pad so that it is highlighted. Then click the Run button in the upper right of the Script panel. Doing this “runs” the selected text. After you click the Run button you should see text like the following the Console panel:
## ── Attaching packages ─────────────────── tidyverse 1.3.0 ──
## ✓ ggplot2 3.3.1 ✓ purrr 0.3.4
## ✓ tibble 3.0.1 ✓ dplyr 1.0.0
## ✓ tidyr 1.1.0 ✓ stringr 1.4.0
## ✓ readr 1.3.1 ✓ forcats 0.5.0
## ── Conflicts ────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ──
## x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
## x dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag()
When you use library(tidyverse) to activate the tidyverse you activate the most commonly used subset of the tidyverse packages. In the output you see checkmarks beside names of the tidyverse packages you have activated.
By activating these packages you have added new commands to R that you will use. Sometimes these packages replace older versions of commands in R. The “Conflicts” section in the output shows you where the packages you activated replaced older R commands with newer R commands. You can activate the other tidyverse package by running a library command for each package – if needed. No need to do so now.
Most importantly, running the library(tidyverse) prior to entering the rest of your script allows R Studio to present auto-complete options when typing your text. Remember to start each script with the library(tidyverse) command and then Run it so you get the autocomplete options for the rest of the commands your enter.
1.7 Loading your data
1.7.1 Use read_csv (not read.csv) to open files.
If you inspect the Files pane on the right of the screen you see the data_okcupid.csv data file in our project directory. We will load this data with the commands below. If you followed the steps above, you should have auto-complete for the tidyverse commands you type for now in – in the current R session. Enter the command below into your script. As your start to type read_csv you will likely be presented with an auto-complete option. You can use the arrow keys to move up and down the list of options to select the one you want - then press tab to select it.
Once your command looks like the one below select the text and click on the “Run” button.
## Parsed with column specification:
## cols(
## age = col_double(),
## diet = col_character(),
## height = col_double(),
## pets = col_character(),
## sex = col_character(),
## status = col_character()
## )
The output indicates that you have loaded a data file and the type of data in each column. The sex column is of type col_character which indicates it contains text/letters. Most of the columns are of the type character. The age and height columns contain numbers are correspondingly indicated to be the type col_double. The label col_double indicates that a column of numbers represented in R with high precision. There are other ways of representing numbers in R but this is the type we will see/use most often.
1.8 Checking out your data
There many ways of viewing the actual data you loaded. A few of these are illustrated now.
1.8.1 view(): See a spreadsheet view of your data
You can inspect your data in a spreadsheet view by using the view command. Do NOT add this command to your script file – EVER. Adding it to the script can cause substantial problems. Type this command in the Console.
1.8.2 print(): See you data in the Console
You can inspect the first few rows of your data with the print() command. It is OK to add a print command to your script. Try the print() command below in the Console:
## # A tibble: 59,946 x 6
## age diet height pets sex status
## <dbl> <chr> <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr>
## 1 22 strictly an… 75 likes dogs and l… m single
## 2 35 mostly other 70 likes dogs and l… m single
## 3 38 anything 68 has cats m availa…
## 4 23 vegetarian 71 likes cats m single
## 5 29 <NA> 66 likes dogs and l… m single
## 6 29 mostly anyt… 67 likes cats m single
## 7 32 strictly an… 65 likes dogs and l… f single
## 8 31 mostly anyt… 65 likes dogs and l… f single
## 9 24 strictly an… 67 likes dogs and l… f single
## 10 37 mostly anyt… 65 likes dogs and l… m single
## # … with 59,936 more rows
1.8.3 head(): Check out the first few rows of data
You can inspect the first few rows of your data with the head() command. Try the command below in the Console:
## # A tibble: 6 x 6
## age diet height pets sex status
## <dbl> <chr> <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr>
## 1 22 strictly any… 75 likes dogs and l… m single
## 2 35 mostly other 70 likes dogs and l… m single
## 3 38 anything 68 has cats m availa…
## 4 23 vegetarian 71 likes cats m single
## 5 29 <NA> 66 likes dogs and l… m single
## 6 29 mostly anyth… 67 likes cats m single
You can be even more specific and indicate you only want the first three row of your data with the head() command. Try the command below in the Console:
## # A tibble: 3 x 6
## age diet height pets sex status
## <dbl> <chr> <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr>
## 1 22 strictly any… 75 likes dogs and l… m single
## 2 35 mostly other 70 likes dogs and l… m single
## 3 38 anything 68 has cats m availa…
1.8.4 tail(): Check out the last few rows of data
You can inspect the last few rows of your data with the tail() command. Try the command below in the Console:
## # A tibble: 6 x 6
## age diet height pets sex status
## <dbl> <chr> <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr>
## 1 31 <NA> 62 likes dogs f single
## 2 59 <NA> 62 has dogs f single
## 3 24 mostly anyt… 72 likes dogs and lik… m single
## 4 42 mostly anyt… 71 <NA> m single
## 5 27 mostly anyt… 73 likes dogs and lik… m single
## 6 39 <NA> 68 likes dogs and lik… m single
You can be even more specific and indicate you only want the last three row of your data with the tail() command. Try the command below in the Console:
## # A tibble: 3 x 6
## age diet height pets sex status
## <dbl> <chr> <dbl> <chr> <chr> <chr>
## 1 42 mostly anyt… 71 <NA> m single
## 2 27 mostly anyt… 73 likes dogs and lik… m single
## 3 39 <NA> 68 likes dogs and lik… m single
1.8.5 summary(): Quick summaries
You can a short summary of your data with the summary() command. Note that we will use the summary() command in many places in the guide. The output of the summary() command changes depending on what you give it - that is put inside the brackets. You can give the summary() command many things such as data, the results of a regression analysis, etc.
Try the command below in the Console. You will see that summary() give the mean and median for each of the numeric variables (age and height).
## age diet height
## Min. : 18.0 Length:59946 Min. : 1.0
## 1st Qu.: 26.0 Class :character 1st Qu.:66.0
## Median : 30.0 Mode :character Median :68.0
## Mean : 32.3 Mean :68.3
## 3rd Qu.: 37.0 3rd Qu.:71.0
## Max. :110.0 Max. :95.0
## NA's :3
## pets sex status
## Length:59946 Length:59946 Length:59946
## Class :character Class :character Class :character
## Mode :character Mode :character Mode :character

1.9 Run vs. Source with Echo vs. Source
There are different ways of running commands in R. So far you have used two of these. You can enter them into the Console as we have done already. Or you can put them in your script select the text and clickk the Run button. There are four ways of running commands in your script.
You can:
- Console: Enter commands directly
- Script: Select the command(s) and press the Run button.
- Script: Source (Without Echo)
- Script: Source With Echo
Two of these approaches involve using the Source button, see Figure 1.5. You bring up the options for the Source button, illustrated in this figure, by clicking on the small arrow to the right of the word Source.
1.9.1 Run select text
The Run button will run the text you highlight and present the relevant output. You have used this command a fair amount already.
I strongly suggest you ONLY use the Run button when testing a command to make sure it works or to debug a script. Or to run library(tidyverse) as you start working on your script so that you get the autocomplete options.
In general, you should always try to execute your R Scripts using the Source with Echo command (preceded by a Restart, see below). This ensures your script will work beginning to end for you in the future and for others that attempt to use it. Using the Run button in an ad lib basis can create output that is not reproducible.
1.9.2 Source (without Echo)
Source (without Echo) is not designed for the typical analysis workflow. It is mostly helpful when you run simulations. When you run Source (without Echo) much of the output you would wish to read is suppressed. In general, avoid this option. If you use it, you often won’t see what you want to see in the output.
1.9.3 Source with Echo
The Source with Echo command runs all of the contents of a script and presents the output in the R console. This is the approach you should use to running your scripts in most cases.
Prior to running Source with Echo (or just Source), it’s always a good idea to restart R. This makes sure you clear the computer memory of any errors from any previous runs.

- Use the menu item: Session > Restart R
- Click the down arrow beside the Source button, and click on Source With Echo
This will clear potentially problematic previous stats, run the script commands, and display the output in the Console. Moving forward we will use this approach for running scripts. Once you have used Source wiht Echo once, you can just click the Source button and it will use Source with Echo automatically (without the need to use the pull down option for selecting Source with Echo).
1.10 Trying Source with Echo
Put the head(), tail(), and summary() command we used previously into your script. Then save your script using using the File > Save menu. You script should appear as below.
 Moreover, that information often needs to be grouped together into a vector or a list before you can send it to the command. We’ll learn more about doing so in the future but here is a quick over view of vectors and lists to provide a foundation for future chapters.
<IP_ADDRESS> Vector of numbers
We can create a vector of only numbers using the “c” function - which you can think of as being short for “combine” (or concatenate). In the commands below we create a vector of a few even numbers called “even_numbers”.
## [1] 2 4 6 8 10
We can obtain the second number in the vector using the following notation:
## [1] 4
<IP_ADDRESS> Vector of characters
We can also create vectors using only characters. Note that I use SHIFT RETURN after each comma to move to the next line.
## [1] "copper kettles" "woolen mittens"
## [3] "brown paper packages"
As before, can obtain the second item in the vector using the following notation:
## [1] "woolen mittens"
1.11.1 Lists
Lists are similar to vectors in that you can create them and access items by their numeric position. Vectors must be all characters or all numbers. Lists can be a mix of characters or numbers. Most importantly items in lists can be accessed by their label. Note that I use SHIFT RETURN after each comma to move to the next line in the code below.
## $last_name
## [1] "Smith"
##
## $first_name
## [1] "John"
##
## $office_number
## [1] 1913
You can access an item in a list using double brackets:
## $first_name
## [1] "John"
You can access an item in a list by its label/name using the dollar sign:
## [1] "Smith"
## [1] 1913
1.12 That’s it!
Congratulations! You’ve reached the end of the introduction to R. Take a break, have a cookie, and read some more about R tomorrow!


JACKIE CHAN'S FIRST STRIKE A film review by Andrew Hicks Copyright 1997 Andrew Hicks / Fatboy Productions
**1/2 (out of four)
The commercials announce, "Jackie Chan fights for America..." Yeah, even though Jackie Chan's never been to America and this movie was made in Hong Kong. FIRST STRIKE is an accurate title for this movie, which isn't nearly as good as RUMBLE IN THE BRONX. Two more movies like this and he may indeed strike out in America. I saw this one the week after its release and there were only twenty people in the theater. METRO, which opened the same day as FIRST STRIKE, was packed. Moviegoers in this hemisphere apparently prefer people who speak their language.
Jackie Chan movies are like porno movies. There's one attraction and everyone knows what it is, but you have to sit through a bunch of poorly-written dialogue and bad acting to get to the good stuff. It's a good thing Chan is a master at what he does. The action sequences in his movies are always amazing, more so because all the stunts are real -- no blue screens and no stuntmen. The actors are the stuntmen, and they do a much better job with the stunts than the acting.
The plot this time is a continuation of the POLICE STORY series (which previously brought us the English-dubbed SUPERCOP), with Chan working for the Hong Kong government to follow a woman to the Ukraine. Her brother has a nuclear device and everyone wants it, including the new KGB, not nearly as cagey as before. Midway through the movie, Chan's own organization turns on him and he has no one to turn to when framed for the murder.
The plot is always convoluted in these movies, and always a mere accessory to set up the action, so forgive me if I screwed up the details. All you need to know is Chan's the good guy and everyone he fights with is the bad guy. As always, there's a beautiful Asian woman to protect, only this time the woman doesn't get into the act by doing any of the action herself. As an employee of UnderWater World (the sister theme park of Under Dances With Wolves), she does provide the setting for the movie's climactic fight sequence.
There are four main action sequences in the movie. The first comes in the Ukraine with a combination snowmobile / snowboard chase that ends with Chan falling from a helicopter into an icy river. Next is the Australia scene in which Chan is on vacation and two burly men visit his hotel room, followed shortly by Chan fending off a school of black belts with a table and a step ladder (the best scene in the movie) and the climax at UnderWater World, involving sharks, stingrays and a bunch of bad guys in wetsuits.
It's like a real-life James Bond movie because Chan and everyone else is doing everything onscreen with no special effects. Every Jackie Chan action sequence is eye-popping; it's the rest of the movie that seems unbearable. What the world needs is an all-action Chan movie with no plot -- a greatest hits package, maybe. I mean, my God, the man's starred in at least twenty movies. That would improve his standing with American audiences, because we all know Chan could beat up Arnold, Stallone, Van Damme and the rest using only two fingers on his left hand.

SEPTEMBER 29 Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael,
Archangels
The
liturgy celebrates the feast of these three archangels who are venerated in the
tradition of the Church. Michael ('Who is like God?') was the archangel who fought
against Satan and all his evil angels, defending all the friends of God. He is
the protector of all humanity and reminds us of the real existence of the devil
and of diabolical activity. To protect us from the snares of the devil, it is
good to have recourse to St. Michael. Gabriel ('Strength of God')
announced to Zachariah the coming birth of John the Baptist, and to Mary, the
birth of Jesus. His greeting to the Virgin, 'Hail, full of grace' is one of the
most familiar and frequent prayers of the Christian people. Raphael ('Medicine of God') is the archangel who took care of
Tobias on his journey. Every person on his pilgrimage through this life also
has a guardian angel with a mission similar to that of Raphael.
ENTRANCE ANTIPHON
Bless the Lord, all you his angels, mighty in power, fulfilling his word, and heeding his voice.
The GLORIA is said. (English, Latin)
COLLECT
O God, who dispose in marvellous order ministries both angelic and human, graciously grant that our life of earth may be defended by those who watch over us as they minister perpetually to you in heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS
We offer you a sacrifice of praise, O Lord, humbly entreating, that, as these gifts are borne by the ministry of Angels into the presence of your majesty, so you may receive them favourably and make them profitable for our salvation. Through Christ our Lord.
COMMUNION ANTIPHON
I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart; in the presence of the Angels I will praise you.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
Having been
nourished with heavenly Bread, we beseech you humbly, O Lord, that, drawing
from it new strength, under the faithful protection of your Angels, we may
advance boldly along the way of salvation. Through Christ our Lord.


CSPICE_SRFXPT computes the surface intercept point of a specified ray
on a target body at a specified epoch, optionally corrected for light
time and stellar aberration, given an observer and a direction vector
defining a ray.
Deprecated: This routine has been superseded by the routine
cspice_sincpt. This routine is supported for purposes of
backward compatibility only.
Given:
method a string providing parameters defining
the computation method to use.
[1,c1] = size(method); char = class(method)
or
[1,1] = size(method); cell = class(method)
The only currently supported choice:
"Ellipsoid" The intercept computation uses
a triaxial ellipsoid to model
the surface of the target body.
The ellipsoid's radii must be
available in the kernel pool.
Neither case nor white space are significant in
'method'.
target the name of the target body. The target body is an
ephemeris object (its trajectory is given by SPK data),
and is an extended object. Optionally, you may supply the
integer ID code for the object as an integer string, i.e.
both 'MOON' and '301' are legitimate strings that indicate
the Moon is the target body.
[1,c2] = size(target); char = class(target)
or
[1,1] = size(target); cell = class(target)
et the ephemeris time(s), expressed as seconds past J2000
TDB, at which to compute the surface intercept point on
the target body (this epoch represents either the time of
signal reception, or transmission, depending on the
selected 'abcorr')
[1,n] = size(et); double = class(et)
abcorr the aberration correction to apply when computing the
observer-target state and the target body orientation.
[1,c3] = size(abcorr); char = class(abcorr)
or
[1,1] = size(abcorr); cell = class(abcorr)
For practical purposes, 'CN' (converged Newtonian)
represents the best correction choice.
'abcorr' may be any of the following:
'NONE' Apply no correction. Return the
geometric surface intercept point on the
target body.
Let 'lt' represent the one-way light time between the
observer and the surface intercept point (note: NOT
between the observer and the target body's center).
The following values of 'abcorr' apply to the
"reception" case in which photons depart from the
intercept point's location at the light-time
corrected epoch et-lt and *arrive* at the observer's
location at 'et':
'LT' Correct for one-way light time (also
called "planetary aberration") using a
Newtonian formulation. This correction
yields the location of the surface
intercept point at the moment it
emitted photons arriving at the
observer at 'et'.
The light time correction uses an
iterative solution of the light time
equation. The solution invoked by the
'LT' option uses one iteration.
Both the target state as seen by the
observer, and rotation of the target
body, are corrected for light time.
'LT+S' Correct for one-way light time and
stellar aberration using a Newtonian
formulation. This option modifies the
state obtained with the 'LT' option to
account for the observer's velocity
relative to the solar system
barycenter. The result is the apparent
surface intercept point as seen by the
observer.
'CN' Converged Newtonian light time
correction. In solving the light time
equation, the 'CN' correction iterates
until the solution converges. Both the
state and rotation of the target body
are corrected for light time.
'CN+S' Converged Newtonian light time
and stellar aberration corrections.
The following values of 'abcorr' apply to the
"transmission" case in which photons *depart* from
the observer's location at 'et' and arrive at the
intercept point at the light-time corrected epoch
et+lt:
'XLT' "Transmission" case: correct for
one-way light time using a Newtonian
formulation. This correction yields the
intercept location at the moment it
receives photons emitted from the
observer's location at 'et'.
The light time correction uses an
iterative solution of the light time
equation. The solution invoked by the
'LT' option uses one iteration.
Both the target state as seen by the
observer, and rotation of the target
body, are corrected for light time.
'XLT+S' "Transmission" case: correct for
one-way light time and stellar
aberration using a Newtonian
formulation This option modifies the
intercept obtained with the 'XLT'
option to account for the observer's
velocity relative to the solar system
barycenter.
'XCN' Converged Newtonian light time
correction. This is the same as 'XLT'
correction but with further iterations
to a converged Newtonian light time
solution.
'XCN+S' "Transmission" case: converged
Newtonian light time and stellar
aberration corrections.
obsrvr the name of a observing body. Optionally, you may supply
the integer ID code for the object as an integer string,
i.e. both 'MOON' and '301' are legitimate strings that
indicate the Moon is the observing body.
[1,c4] = size(obsrvr); char = class(obsrvr)
or
[1,1] = size(obsrvr); cell = class(obsrvr)
dref the name of the reference frame relative to which the
input direction vector is expressed. This may be any
frame supported by the SPICE system, including built-in
frames (documented in the Frames Required Reading) and
frames defined by a loaded frame kernel (FK).
[1,c5] = size(dref); char = class(dref)
or
[1,1] = size(dref); cell = class(dref)
When 'dref' designates a non-inertial frame, the
orientation of the frame is evaluated at an epoch
dependent on the frame's center and, if the center is
not the observer, on the selected aberration
correction. See the description of the direction
vector 'dvec' for details.
dvec Pointing vector emanating from the observer. The
intercept with the target body's surface of the ray
defined by the observer and 'dvec' is sought.
[3,1] = size(dvec); double = class(dvec)
'dvec' is specified relative to the reference frame
designated by 'dref'.
Non-inertial reference frames are treated as follows:
if the center of the frame is at the observer's
location, the frame is evaluated at 'et'. If the
frame's center is located elsewhere, then letting
'ltcent' be the one-way light time between the observer
and the central body associated with the frame, the
orientation of the frame is evaluated at et-ltcent,
et+ltcent, or 'et' depending on whether the requested
aberration correction is, respectively, for received
radiation, transmitted radiation, or is omitted.
'ltcent' is computed using the method indicated by
'abcorr'.
the call:
[ spoint, dist, trgepc, obspos, found ] = ...
cspice_srfxpt( method, target, et, abcorr, obsrvr, dref, dvec)
returns:
spoint the surface intercept point on the target body of
the ray defined by the observer and the direction
vector. If the ray intersects the target body in
multiple points, the selected intersection point is
the one closest to the observer. The output
argument 'found' (see below) indicates whether an
intercept was found.
[3,1] = size(spoint); double = class(spoint)
'spoint' is expressed in Cartesian coordinates,
relative to the body-fixed frame associated with the
target body. The body-fixed target frame is
evaluated at the intercept epoch 'trgepc' (see
description below).
When light time correction is used, the duration of
light travel between 'spoint' to the observer is
considered to be the one way light time. When both
light time and stellar aberration corrections are
used, 'spoint' is selected such that, when 'spoint'
is corrected for light time and the vector from the
observer to the light-time corrected location of
'spoint' is corrected for stellar aberration, the
resulting vector is parallel to the ray defined by
the observer's location and 'dvec'.
The components of 'spoint' are given in units of km.
dist the distance between the observer and the surface
intercept on the target body. 'dist' is given in
units of km.
[1,1] = size(dist); double = class(dist)
trgepc the "intercept epoch." This is the epoch at which
the ray defined by 'obsrvr' and 'dvec' intercepts the
target surface at 'spoint'. 'trgepc' is defined as
follows: letting 'lt' be the one-way light time
between the observer and the intercept point,
'trgepc' is the epoch et-lt, et+lt, or 'et' depending
on whether the requested aberration correction is,
respectively, for received radiation, transmitted
radiation, or omitted. 'lt' is computed using the
method indicated by 'abcorr'.
[1,1] = size(trgepc); double = class(trgepc)
'trgepc' is expressed as seconds past J2000 TDB.
obspos the vector from the center of the target body at
epoch 'trgepc' to the observer at epoch 'et'.
'obspos' is expressed in the target body-fixed
reference frame evaluated at 'trgepc'. (This is
the frame relative to which 'spoint' is given.)
[3,1] = size(obspos); double = class(obspos)
'obspos' is returned to simplify various related
computations that would otherwise be cumbersome. For
example, the vector 'xvec' from the observer to
'spoint' can be calculated via
xvec = spoint - obspos
The components of 'obspos' are given in units of km.
found the logical flag indicating whether or not the ray
intersects the target. If an intersection exists
'found' will be returned as true. If the ray misses
the target, 'found' will return as false.
[1,1] = size(found); logical = class(found)
'spoint', 'dist', 'trgepc', 'obspos(3)', and 'found' return with the
same vectorization measure (N) as 'et'.
Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

 The first all-electronic calculator, the ANITA (A New Inspiration to Arithmetic), was developed by the British Bell Punch Company in 1961, and featured vacuum and cold-cathode tubes. The ANITA was superseded in 1963 by the legendary Friden EC-130, which swapped vacuum tubes for a solid-state design, and introduced Reverse Polish Notation (RPN). Alas, the electronic calculator is no longer the prominent powerhouse it once was. In 1986, an estimated 41% of the world’s general-purpose hardware was dedicated to electronic calculators; today, that has diminished to less than 0.05%.
Nonetheless, an appreciation of yesteryear is in order. In commemoration of the electronic calculator, I have designed and built the AOITA (An Old Inspiration to Arithmetic) that uses the solid-state design and RPN of the Friden EC-130, but retains the vacuum tube display of the ANITA. In a testament to progress, the AOITA uses a modern AVR 1284P microcontroller and a newly fashioned set of vacuum tubes designed by Dalibor Farny in the Czech Republic.

The start-up inflection point: "No matter how self-directed programmers are, eventually their utility declines as ambiguities in direction, roles, goals and ownership become increasingly distracting and frustrating. The company is changing because of scale effects - but scale effects are hard to recognize, predict or compensate for."
Very true, and something which affects any size of company. This is something I'd experienced twice now - once at Good Technology when we hit around 8 members of staff, and once here at FP.

Asking questions is always a crucial part of my learning process and I try to do it well. Towards that end, I try to remember the following points when crafting questions and interacting with people who are trying to answer my questions:
1.) State the question clearly. I type it out, pause for a moment, and then reread it. Could someone else instantly understand what I am asking? Is it grammatically correct? Is the spelling correct? Do I supply enough context for the question to make sense?
2.) Regarding supplying enough context, I try to be extremely aware of the mutual information shared by myself and the person who is answering my question. With a good friend asking "Are we up?" is enough of a question for him to tell me the current score of the game we are both interested in. This is because we have a largely overlapping field of interest and a lot of mutual information. But posing this same question to a different person with less shared knowledge and perspective will only illicit a puzzled look. To avoid this, it is necessary to take into account the perspective of the person and supply sufficient context so they can understand the question easily.
3.) State what you are trying to accomplish in the end. When asking a question about how to accomplish something, particularly a question about programming, I always try to state what I am attempting to accomplish. If I have a problem making a given method work it is often the case that I am approaching the larger problem in an inefficient or impossible way. By stating my final aim, it allows more knowledgeable people to recommend local improvements but also better global approaches.
4.) Remember to be appreciative and polite. The people answering my questions are doing me a big favor and I want to show them the respect this favor merits.


Last year I learned to code at the University of Arizona’s coding bootcamp and received a certificate for completing the course. While I learned a lot about coding from the course I continued to learn more day by day coding small projects for fun and eventually picked up some courses on Udemy as well. As a developer you can never know to much and I constantly try to expand my knowledge and skills. I’ve expanded my understanding of javascript and learned other languages such as Python and Ruby.
Web Development is an ever changing field so staying up to date with advancements in languages and technology is essential. Great sources like Medium and following industry leaders on LinkdIn help insure you’re always up to date on the latest development news. Keeping up on new trends and the latest tech is necessary to developers that want to keep providing the best code possible for their customers.

§ Spec-Up Example
Specification Status: Strawman
Latest Draft: https://csuwildcat.github.io/spec-up
- Editors:
- Daniel Buchner
- Participate:
- GitHub repo
- File a bug
- Commit history
§ Abstract
Let’s face it, other tools and generators for writing technical specifications aimed at standards bodies or industry groups are cumbersome, underwhelming, and lack the features you might want in a technical specification document. Spec-Up’s goal is to deliver you a better spec-writing experience with far less effort and tedium than other tools in the ecosystem. Spec-Up is a dead simple tool that auto-generates great specs from markdown. The version of markdown Spec-up uses contains all the same features you might expect from common implementations, like GitHub, but adds much more, including notice blocks, complex tables, charts, advanced syntax highlighting, UML diagrams, etc.
§ Getting Started
Using Spec-Up is easy peasy lemon squeezy:
-
npm install spec-up
-
Create a
specs.json
file at the root of your project to specify configuration values used in the generation of your spec documents. The values in yourspecs.json
file include things like where your spec’s markdown files are located, where to output the generated spec document, and various metadata values used in rendering, such as the title, logo, and repo links for each of your specs. The following are the required/optional fields supported in thespecs.json
config file:spec_directory
(STRING, required) - You must specify the project root relative location of your spec’s markdown file directory. You MUST name your spec’s markdown filespec.md
and locate it in yourspec_directory
for the tool to automatically find and use it for rendering. If you want to use a different name for the markdown file, or you have multiple markdown files you would like the tool to assemble into one document, you must specify them using the optionalmarkdown_paths
field described below.title
(STRING, required) - You must add a title for your spec, which will be rendered in the generated document’s H1 text and page title.markdown_paths
(ARRAY, optional) - If you want to name your spec’s markdown file something other thanspec.md
, or you have multiple files you would like assembled into a single output document, you must specify their paths as array entries in the order you would like them assembled. The paths in this array are assumed to be based on thespec_directory
you specified, so DO NOT repeat the full root relative path.output_path
(STRING, optional) - If you want the generated spec document to be output to a different location than thespec_directory
you specified (e.g. the project root for GitHub Pages publishing) you can specify another root relative path (use./
for root), and the tool will write the document file there instead.

In your main node.js file, drop in this bad boy:
require('spec-up')()
Boom! That’s it. Spec-Up will auto-detect modifications to files in your spec_directory
and auto-generate your spec’s updated HTML document every time you save a change.
§ Feature Flexin
In addition to all the normal markdown support (things like headings, lists, etc.), which you can see in this example document and all over GitHub readme pages, Spec-Up integrates a ton of other useful features that make it easy to articulate your technical content. Let’s checkout some of the goodies:
§ Table of Contents
<-- You see that beautiful TOC over there to your left? (tap the header link to slide it out on mobile) Yeah, you don’t need to do a damn thing, that just magically appears based on your use of h2

'For sure' - Boss issues Jack Grealish England message - and Aston Villa fans will love it
Aston Villa latest news | Jack Grealish is knocking on the door of a call-up to Gareth Southgate's side following some excellent performances for Dean Smith's Villa
by Richard CusackAston Villa boss Dean Smith says Jack Grealish is fit and ready to join up with the England squad if he is called up by Gareth Southgate.
The Three Lions host Montenegro in a Euro 2020 qualifier on November 14 before travelling to Kosovo three days later.
Grealish has been touted for the next England squad following his excellent displays for Villa in recent weeks, the captain netting his first goals of the season for the club last month.
He was instrumental in the 2-1 defeat of Brighton and Hove Albion on October 19, scoring the equaliser before setting up Matt Targett's last-gasp winner.

However, he has been out since he injured his calf in the final few minutes of the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City.
He missed the 2-1 defeat to Liverpool last time out , but should he be included when the England squad is announced for the Euro qualifiers Smith says he will pass him fit to join up with the national team.
"He's available for (England) selection that's for sure," Smith said.
After the Liverpool game, Smith addressed the fitness of his talisman for the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday (2pm).
He missed the Carabao Cup clash between the two sides at Villa Park last month, watching his side record a 2-1 win over their West Midlands rivals to set up a quarter-final tie with Liverpool.
"I said to him I need you 100 per cent, we're playing against one of the top teams in the world," Smith said .
"We need players who are 100 per cent and he held his hand up.
"He'll be good for next week against Wolves."

Classification tags: economics, minimal economy, DES, next-event time progression
Lengnick's Baseline Economy (LBE) consists of two types of economic actors: households playing the roles of workers/employees and consumers, and firms playing the roles of employers and producers/suppliers. Households are characterized by their reservation wage defining their expectation on their wage, and their liquidity (amount of money). Firms are characterized by their liquidity, their consumption goods price, their wage rate and their inventory level.
At the start of a month, firms may adjust their wage rate and consumption goods price as well as their number of employees, while households may search for cheaper vendors and for a job (if unemployed) or a better paid job (if employed), as well as decide on their monthly consumption budget.
On each day, households purchase consumption goods and firms produce new consumption goods depending on their number of workers.
At the end of a month, firms distribute profits, pay wages, and decide about firing a worker. Households receive their wage and may adjust their reservation wage.
The model is based on discrete time with days as time units. A month consists of a StartOfMonth event followed by 21 EachDay events representing the 21 consecutive working days of a month, which are followed by an EndOfMonth event.
The model is composed of the object types Household and Firm as well as the event types StartOfMonth, EachDay and EndOfMonth.
The model's two object types, and their associations with each other, implemented in Firm.js and Household.js, are described in the following information design model:
T.B.D.
The OESjs simulation model implements the simulation design model presented above. It consists of two object class definitions, Firm.js and Household.js, three event class definitions, StartOfMonth.js, EachDay.js and EndOfMonth.js, and the simulation.js file. Altogether, the OESjs implementation has about 1,200 lines of JavaScript code, while the original implementation by M. Lengnick has about 2,100 lines of Java code.
LBE is able to self-organize to a state that is very close to a general equilibrium but shows a realistic amount of unemployment (real world economies show higher unemployment rates, partly due to structural unemployment, which has not been modeled in LBE). LBE shows that the interaction of economic agents following simple behavior rules can lead to an almost fully efficient allocation on the aggregate level (as an emergent property).
In classical economics models, which are, typically, Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models, the empirical fact of a cyclical up and down of aggregate production (called business cycles) has been addressed by modeling exogenous shocks (technology shocks, cost shocks, news shocks, etc.) on the economy. In the LBE model, however, business cycles occur endogenously.
Business cycles are often understood as stochastic deviations around a trend in standard macro economics. In the LBE model they are a cyclical deviation downwards from the full employment level due to coordination failures of the economic agents. This difference is crucial when considering stabilization policy.
The Phillips Curve describes an empirical trade-off between unemployment and inflation. See Figure 5 in Lengnick (2013).
The Beveridge curve describes an empirical trade-off between unemployment and vacancies. See Figure 5 in Lengnick (2013).
According to [3] and [4], it is an empirical finding that the distribution of firm size is right skewed. See Figure 6 in Lengnick (2013).
According to [7] the frequency of price changes follows a right skewed distribution with median between 9 percent and 12 percent per month. See Figure 6 in Lengnick (2013).
According to [8] inflation tends to be below trend when GDP is above trend and increases in GDP tend to be followed by increases in prices. See Figure 7 in Lengnick (2013).
Increasing money supply in the very long run (50 and more years) creates only inflation and has no influence on the level of production. This is empirically confirmed in, e.g., [6] and [1]. See Figure 8 in Lengnick (2013).
An open-source project devoted to the highly structured simulation of complete economies.
Using a calibrated model able to replicate a range of stylized facts of goods and labor markets, it is examined in how far effects differ if policy measures aiming at an improvement of general skills are uniformly spread over all regions in the economy or focused in one particular region.

This page describes how to install JRE 8 on Oracle Solaris operating systems.
The page contains these topics:
This version of the JRE is supported on the Oracle Solaris 10 Update 9 or later OS, Oracle Solaris 11 Express OS, and Oracle Solaris 11 OS. For supported processors and browsers, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/certconfig-2095354.html
.
For any text on this page containing the following notation, you must substitute the appropriate JRE update version number for the notation.
version
For example, if you are installing update JRE 8 update release 1, the following string representing the name of the bundle:
jre-8uversion-solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz
becomes:
jre-8u1-solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz
Note that, as in the preceding example, the version
number is sometimes preceded with the letter u
, for example, 8u1
, and sometimes it is preceded with an underscore, for example, jre1.8.0_01
.
To install JRE 8 on Oracle Solaris 11, install the jre-8
package:
Make sure the jre-8
package is available from your IPS publisher.
$ pkg list -a jre-8 NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO developer/java/jre-8 <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS>.0.0.0 ---
If you see an "i" in the I column, then the package is already installed.
This package is available from the solaris
publisher at pkg.oracle.com
and also from other publisher origins. If you see a message that no such package is found, use the pkg
publisher
command to check your publisher origin and contact your system administrator or Oracle Support representative.
Make sure you have permission to install IPS packages.
Use the profiles command to list the rights profiles that are assigned to you. If you have the Software Installation rights profile, you can use the pfexec
command to install and update packages.
$ pfexec pkg install jre-8
Other rights profiles also provide installation privilege, such as System Administrator rights profile.
Depending on the security policy at your site, you might be able to use the sudo
command with your user password to execute a privileged command.
$ sudo pkg install jre-8
Use the roles
command to list the roles that are assigned to you. If you have the root role, you can use the su
command with the root password to assume the root role.
# pkg install jre-8
The following table lists the options available for downloading the JRE 8 release on the Oracle Solaris platform.
| Download File(s) | Architecture | Who Can Install |
|---|---|---|
jre-8u version -solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz |
64-bit SPARC | anyone |
jre-8u version -solaris-x64.tar.gz |
64-bit x64, EM64T | anyone |
You can install a JRE archive binary in any location that you can write to. It will not displace the system version of the Java platform provided by the Oracle Solaris OS.
Follow these steps to install:
Download the bundle.
Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement. The archive binaries can be installed by anyone in any location that you can write to.
The .tar.gz
archive file (also called a tarball) is a file that can be simultaneously uncompressed and extracted in one step.
Change directory to the location where you want the JRE to be installed.
Move the .tar.gz
archive binaries to the current directory.
Unpack the tarball and install the JRE:
On SPARC processors:
% gzip -dc jre-8uversion-solaris-sparcv9.tar.gz | tar xf -
On x64/EM64T processors:
% gzip -dc jre-8uversion-solaris-x64.tar.gz | tar xf -
The JRE is installed in a directory called jre1.8.0_
version
in the current directory. For example, for the JRE 8 update 1 release, the directory is named: jre1.8.0_01
.
The JRE documentation is a separate download. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html#docs

BREAST CANCER ANALYSER
USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE METHODS TO DETECT ABNORMALITIES IN MAMMOGRAPHIES AND DETERMINE WHETHER A MOLE IS BENIGN OR MALIGNANT
Nowadays mammographies are among the most used methods by professionals in order to diagnose cancer. This method is reliable in most of cases but sometimes there are specific fatty moles that are misdiagnosed and problems when determining whether the spot belongs to a benign or a malignant form of cancer.
Breast cancer analyser is a tool that makes usage of artificial intelligence to analyse the density diagram of mammographies in order to quickly detect those abnormalities and detect whether that mole belongs to a cancer and their level of malignancy.

Sullivan's Travels (1941)
Grade: 66
Preston Sturges wrote and directed a series of successful comedies during the 1940s, all of which for some reason co-star William Demarest. Among these comedies was "Sullivan's Travels". While it received no Oscar nominations (Sturges had won Best Original Screenplay the year before for "The Great McGinty"), today it is considered to be a classic. It missed the recent AFI top 100 list, but only after an effort by Steven Speilberg, who tried to substitute "Sullivan's Travels" for one of his own directorial efforts.
The story has successful comedy director John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrae) wanting to make an 'important' film about the poor. He decides to live the life of a hobo, to learn more about them. Along the way, he encounters a struggling actress played by Veronica Lake. Eventually he learns just how badly the poor have it, when his adventures result in his imprisonment for assault.
"Sullivan's Travels" is Sturges' social commentary with several messages, one of which (ironically) is that film directors should stick to entertainment and not social commentary. Another message is that there is nothing glamorous or revealing about the lives of the poor. This is best stated in a speech by Sullivan's butler:
"Poverty is not the lack of anything, but a positive plague, virulent in itself, contagious as cholera, with filth, criminality, vice and despair as only a few of its symptoms. It is to be stayed away from, even for purposes of study. It is to be shunned."
"Sullivan's Travels" only has a few obvious weaknesses. The film makes jarring transitions from screwball comedy, to satire, to social commentary. Sullivan develops a case of amnesia that ends only after his conviction for assault. His status as a famous Hollywood director should not entitle him to a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. While Veronica Lake is gorgeous, she fulfills the predictions of Lebrand "but with a little sex" and Sullivan "every picture has a girl in it". (Lake dominates the movie posters I have seen for this film, implying that she and not McCrae is the star.)
"Sullivan's Travels" does provide many fine roles for character actors. I especially liked the black preacher (Arthur Hoyt) and helpful convict Jimmy Conlin. However, the sadistic guard is a stereotype, and none of the bums that Sullivan encounters make much of an impression.

Hello! Welcome back. Today I am going to be talking to you about arrays and hashes, or how to stay organized in the chaotic coding world. When you are dealing with information, especially a lot of it, you are going to have to organize that someway, somehow. Arrays and Hashes offer you a good way to do that.
First we'll talk about the little brother of lists, Arrays. Arrays are a little more simple in the fact that they just hold information in numeric order. Think of them as a deli ticket count dispenser thing... you know what I mean. The array takes information, assigns it a numbered spot, and holds it. The information at spot 3 is just the information at spot 3. We don't know anything else about it except that it is in spot 3, and it's going to get a half pound of unsalted ham (gross).
So arrays are ordered in this very basic way. They're great for holding information, but the array itself doesn't tell us much about the information that we are holding. It's just got a number next to it and ships it off when that number is called. This is where Hashes come into play. Hashes do essentially the same thing as an array, insomuch that it stores information. Where the hash differs is that instead of using a numbered list to tell you where the information is, it uses something called a key.
A key is, well, just that. It lets you unlock the value (your information) from within the hash. This is great because now you can have a unique key that will lead you information, and you can have the key be whatever you wish. Say I have a list of all the movies I own, and I want to figure out which genre they fall into. I can use a hash to organize them all into one list that will tell me what genre my movie belongs to! Using the name of the movie as the key (Air Bud 3: SuperBark Sunday) and using the genre as the value (Greatest movie of all time) we can then just type in what movie was are interested in and it will give us the genre!
Both of these are very viable tools to have and depending on the situation they both have strengths over the other. It is something that you will have to decide on which you would rather use, which comes with practice and experience. But don't worry, I believe in you!

Real-time Dutch train traffic 2017-05-23 Comments Following the previous article I reconstructed a “real-time” train traffic through a single day. Here it is (~20MB): Your browser does not support the video tag. Issues: Not all trains follow tracks (it has to do with linear interpolation, see below) A train never reaches its final stop (not enough data, see below) These are not true train positions, interpolated between stations It’s getting quite repetitve after some time :) How is was done? 1.Got access to NS API 2.Mapped all train stations which includes stations both within the Netherlands and outside. Example of response containing information with traion stations: <Station> HLM <Type>knooppuntIntercitystation</Type> <Namen> <Kort>Haarlem</Kort><Middel>Haarlem</Middel><Lang>Haarlem</Lang> </Namen> <Land>NL</Land> <UICCode>8400285</UICCode> <Lat>52.3877792358398</Lat> <Lon>4.63833332061768</Lon> </Station> 3.Filter out non-Dutch train stations. There are approximately 400 train stations in the Netherlands (according to NS API). 4.Run a crontab script to collect departure times at every station hourly: for station in `cat stations_codes_nl.txt`; do timestamp=`date +"%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M"` filename="results/$station/timetable-$station-$timestamp.xml" curl --user LOGIN:PSWD https://webservices.ns.nl/ns-api-avt?station=$station > $filename done 5.It produces lots of files with departure information, e.g.: <RitNummer>2233</RitNummer>  <VertrekTijd>2017-05-16T10:10:00+0200</VertrekTijd>  <EindBestemming>Amsterdam Centraal</EindBestemming>  <TreinSoort>Intercity</TreinSoort>  6.Find all trains on that day (grepping RitNummer) 7.Reconstruct a route (array with pairs of station/departure time) for every train. 8.Interpolate train movements between stations 9.Place them on the map and make lots of pngs (thanks to python + basemap) 10.pngs -> ffmpeg -> video :) Source code can be found here What’s next? It’s quickly getting repetitive. The simplest way to make it more entertaining is to get data from 3am or 4am. It would be more fun to see build up of train traffic. With such limited data it is quite hard to make all trains follow the track. The data does not contain all stations a single train moves through. One way to fix it would be to map all train tracks, find a shortest (?) route from station A to station B and make the train to follow it. The final stop is also hard to fix properly. The data does not contain time when a train arrives to its final destination. Can be fixed with extrapolation on the last segment. Issues: How is was done? What’s next?


This section is dedicated to map with markers displayed on top of it. These markers can be circles with size proportional to a numeric value, resulting in a bubble map. Before exploring this section, learn how to build the map background with R.
leaflet
The leaflet R package is a wrapper of the Javascript leaflet.js library. It allows to build stunning interactive maps in minutes with R. Maps can be exported and standalong html files, or be embeded in a R markdown file or a shiny application. Check the 3 examples below to get the basics of interactive bubble maps with R.
Leaflet maps are interactive. Try to zoom and drag the map below. Hover a circle to get more information about it. See Code
ggplot2
ggplot2
is probably the best option if you're looking to build a static bubble map. It offers all the flexibility of the grammar of graphic, and allow to re-use all the knowledge you learned building other types of chart with it. If you don't know about ggplot2, read this introduction.
ggplot2
and plotly
The plotly
package provides the magic ggplotly()
function. This function will turn any of your static bubble map made with ggplot2 interactive. With only one more line of code:
cartography
package.The cartography
package is a great alternative to the tidyverse to build maps with R. It provides many helpers specially made for maps.

We just uploaded to our corporate site a small sample we created for the Windows Vista Launch in Colombia, showing some features in Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation and BizTalk Server 2006.
The sample showcases a simple business scenario that uses features like WCF self-hosted services, multiple bindings (HTTP and TCP) and callback contracts. The service is consumed by a simple WinForms client, as well as a simple State-Machine Workflow that uses the HandleExternalEvent activity to receive events fired by the WCF service, as well as my own custom MSMQ activities to fire messages off to BizTalk for further processing. (Notice we focused on the core features and keeping the code simple to showcase them, so the sample lacks quite a bit of error handling).

Inverse 3D real-valued fast Fourier transform.
tf.compat.v1.signal.irfft3d
tf.compat.v1.spectral.irfft3d
tf.compat.v2.signal.irfft3d
tf.signal.irfft3d( input_tensor, fft_length=None, name=None )
Computes the inverse 3-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of a real-valued
signal over the inner-most 3 dimensions of input
.
The inner-most 3 dimensions of input
are assumed to be the result of RFFT3D
:
The inner-most dimension contains the fft_length / 2 + 1
unique components of
the DFT of a real-valued signal. If fft_length
is not provided, it is computed
from the size of the inner-most 3 dimensions of input
. If the FFT length used
to compute input
is odd, it should be provided since it cannot be inferred
properly.
Along each axis IRFFT3D
is computed on, if fft_length
(or
fft_length / 2 + 1
for the inner-most dimension) is smaller than the
corresponding dimension of input
, the dimension is cropped. If it is larger,
the dimension is padded with zeros.
