Introducing Biostatistics to first year LCG students
Around two weeks ago I gave a talk via skype to the first year students from the Undergraduate Program on Genomic Sciences (LCG in Spanish) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM in Spanish). The talk was under the context of the Introduction to Bioinformatics Seminar Series whose goal is to familiarize the new students with the...

The new visualization package for genome data in Bioconductor: ggbio
It’s been a while since I’ve been waiting for the release of a visualization package in Bioconductor. Back in 2008 I was really impressed by the power of GenomeGraphs and I have used it in multiple occasions. Yet from both the Bioconductor Developer Meeting in Heidelberg 2010 and BioC2011 I’ve been waiting for the release of the visualizati...

Visualizing colors()
The other day I learnt about the existance of the colors() vector in R which specifies all the character-based colors like “light blue”, “black”, etc. So I made a simple plot to visualize them all. Here’s the code: mat <- matrix(1:length(colors()), ncol = 9, byrow= TRUE) df <- data.frame(col = colors(), x = as.integer(cut(1:length...

Sharing my work for “Advanced Methods III”
This semester I’m taking the live version of the Data Analysis class by Jeff Leek. His more popular version of the course is available through Coursera. One of the things that Jeff promotes is reproducibility and sharing code. I share that tendency and thus created a Git repository for my homework and code for the class: lcollado753. I’m ho...

Analyzing SimplyStatistics visits info
Recently we had to analyze the data of the number of visits per day to SimplyStatistics.org. There were two goals: Estimate the fraction of visitors retained after a spike in the number of visitors Identify (if any) any factors that influence the fraction estimated in 1. For me it was a fun project in part because I like SimplyStatistics but als...

FBit: GitHub repo for posts with R code for this blog
This is a test post since I want to improve upon Jeffrey Horner’s strategy for posting R code in Tumblr. The only minor improvement I wanted to try out is hosting the images directly on the web. I mean, right now the images won’t show in RSS readers. I’m not doing anything new at all, just using the imgur_upload function in knitr. This is p...

And so begins English Composition I
This week started the English Composition I: Achieving Expertise course (Comer, 2013) that I have been looking forward to. I am not sure yet how long I will last, but I hope to enjoy it as much as I can. Plus, it should help me with my posting and other writing areas. While I last in the course, I plan to publish my writings in the blog too. So y...

Continuing my previous posts on the topic, this time I’ll share the results of my final project. At the begin...
