Re: [R] Values of ACF and PACF

[Duncan Williamson]

Thank you, Rolf.

I am aware of how to open and read the help files, I searched the web, too.
However, as a not so blessed user of R, I don't always understand what I
read.

I will do my best with your advice.

Duncan

Of course.  Easy-peasy.  E.g.:

set.seed(42)
x <- rnorm(300)
ax0 <- acf(x,plot=FALSE) # The "plot=FALSE" is not actually necessary.
ax1 <- ax0$acf[,,1]

Reading the help file for a function is Always a Good Idea.
You can also always look at the code.  Just type:

acf

Similarly for pacf()

[R] Values of ACF and PACF

[Duncan Williamson]

I use the ACF and PACF functions as part of my investigations into
autocorrelation ...

Is there any way of getting R to show the numerical values provided by
these functions?

Re: [R] [EXT] Re: Inappropriate color name

[Mitchell Maltenfort]

Here’s a daft idea that brings it back to R

For packages where there are problematic names, have aliases with
acceptable names.

Perhaps create a package to hold all those aliases.

Then if a user wants their preferred names, load up the aliasing package
and change them in bulk.  Using a package means everyone has access to a
standardized set of alternative terms.

Just a thought.  Coffee may not have kicked in yet.

The fact that for the first time we have so many messages in this group is
proof that the question asked by Lainey is appropriate and necessary.

No language is static, they evolve thanks to discussions like this.
Remember that github  stopped using the term "master" to describe the main
branch of a repository for example.

I wonder what would happen if there was a color named "redneck" instead of
"indianred".

I have worked with and know or knew probably somewhere near 100
American Indians.  None of them were "offended" by "Indian," most
referred to themselves as "Indian," particularly when few outsiders
could even pronounce their tribal names.  Several of them referred me to
the works and words of Russel Means, Ogalala Lakota, an actor and
activist, who mocked the use of phrases such as "Native American" as
silly, and easily as offensive and racist in its failure to distinguish
among tribal peoples as any such sweeping label could be.

Indeed, if you would go down this road, where does it stop? You would be 
eligible getting discussions why the female species is described with a 
longer word than the male. Why is there even a 'man' part in 'woman'. I 
can bet there are man and woman finding this offensive ;)
What do you think about these symbols for male and female? Should be 
changed also, this male is now pointing up to heaven =  good, and female 
pointing down to hell =  bad? ;)

Dear R list,

I am an old-school R user. I use apply(), with(), and which() in base
package instead of filter(), select(), separate() in Tidyverse. The idea of
pipeline (i.e. %>%) my code was foreign to me for a while. It makes the
code shorter, but sometimes less readable?


Think of the pipe as pure syntactic sugar.  It doesn't really do
anything, it just lets you write "f(g(x))" as "x %>% g() %>% f()" (where
the parens "()" are optional).  Read it as "Take x and pass it to g();
take the result and pass it to f()", which is exactly how you'd read
"f(g(x))".  The pipe  presents it in the same order as in English, which
sometimes makes it a bit easier to read than the mathematical notation.

There's a lot more to tidyverse ideas besides the pipe.  The overview is
in the "Tidyverse Manifesto" (a vignette in the tidyverse package), and
details are in Grolemund and Wickham's book "R for Data Science".


Whoops, I got the title wrong:  that's "The tidy tools manifesto".

Duncan Murdoch





With ggplot2, I just don't understand how it is organized. Take this code:


ggplot2 is much harder to understand, but Wickham's book "ggplot2:
Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis" gives a really readable yet thorough
description.




ggplot(diamonds, aes(x=carat, y=price)) + geom_point(aes(color=cut)) +

geom_smooth()

There are three plus signs. How do you know when to "add" and what to
"add"? I've seen more plus signs.

To me, aes() stands for aesthetic, meaning looks. So, anything related to
looks like points and smooth should be in aes(). Apparently, it's not the
case.


Yes "aesthetic" was a really bad choice of word.


So, how does ggplot2 work? Could someone explain this for an old-school R
user?


Not in one email, but hopefully the references (which are both available
online for free, or in a bookstore at some cost) can help.
