I know a little about Python, but I’m in no means a python programmer. I’ve attempted to use BeautifulSoup once prior to this project. There must be a more efficient way of processing the soup than what I’ve done below. In the near future. From BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup. From datetime import date, datetime.

A brief introduction to “apply” in R | What You're Doing Is Rather Desperate
https://nsaunders.wordpress.com/2010/08/20/a-brief-introduction-to-apply-in-r
What You're Doing Is Rather Desperate. Notes from the life of a computational biologist. A brief introduction to “apply” in R. At any R Q&A site, you’ll frequently see an exchange like this one:. Q: How can I use a loop to […insert task here…]? A: Don’t. Use one of the apply functions. So, what are these wondrous. Functions and how do they work? I think the best way to figure out anything in R is to learn by experimentation, using embarrassingly trivial data and functions. Simple: either the rows (1), th...

Probability and statistics blog. In Monte Carlo We Trust. Mdash; 6 Comments. Wasting away again in Martingaleville. Alright, I better start with an apology for the title of this post. I know, it’s really bad. But let’s get on to the good stuff, or, perhaps more accurately, the really frightening stuff. The plot shown at the top of this post is a simulation of the martingale betting strategy. You’ll find code for it here. What is the martingale betting strategy? Pretty scary, no?

Probability and statistics blog. In Monte Carlo We Trust. Mdash; 9 Comments. Uncovering the Unreliable Friend Distribution. Head down to your local hardware store and pick up a smoke detector. Pop off the cover and look inside. You’ll see a label that mentions Americium 241, a radioactive isotope. Put on your HEV suit. Just how long will you have to wait? And created an exponential timer you can try out for yourself. I would suggest setting it to less than 432 years. Cranking uncertainty up to 11. The lo...

Probability and statistics blog. In Monte Carlo We Trust. What’s my daughter listening to? HTML chart gen in R. My daughter, who turns 10 in April, has discovered pop music. She’s been listing to Virgin Radio 99.9. One of our local stations. Virgin provides an online playlist. That goes back four days, so I scraped the data and brought it into R. The chart shown at top shows all of the songs played from February 17th through the 20th, listed by frequency. Anyone want to give it a try? Here’s my code.

So where was I related to the NBA analysis? Well, a buddy of mi...
