quote to start things off. I ended up with two. R is a wonderfully flexible platform
and language for exploring, visualizing, and understanding data. I chose the quote
from Alice in Wonderland to capture the flavor of statistical analysis today—an...
With the advent of version 2 of the iPhone system, Apple proved they could do a remarkable
thing — adapt their existing Cocoa computer application programming
framework to make applications for a touch-based device with limited memory and

and crannies that the true “tastiness” often lies. Almost every...
When we, the authors of this book, first learned what Microsoft’s plans were for Analysis Services in the SQL Server 2012 release, we were not happy.
