Intro Network Graphs are NICE and USEFUL (or at least, that’s my opinion). I have used them many a time, and they really usually help me get an understanding that I wouldn’t get by just looking at rows and rows of a table… To visualize such “networks”, I usually prefer the package visNetwork. It’s nice,…

Iterative function calls with Reduce
Intro In many instances, the “Numerical Methods” will imply recurrent function calls. We demonstrated how to go about this using loops here. But I wasn’t satisfied with this approach (I did mention, I prefer the apply() family of functions over for loops…). The apply() wasn’t fit for it, but while digging a bit deeper into…

Intro So I’m currently taking this course about “High Performance Computing”. This entry is not about that exactly: let’s face it, R is not the best option there 😀 But some concepts I touched in the past I thought I could summarise today (for example of past entries: here or here, and more links in the…
