BayesX

BayesX now has a source code version that can be directly build under Linux. This is really cool.

Some Fortran code

Here are some Fortran code for Stata-related operations.

JAGS tutorial

This is a nice tutorial for JAGS. Here is another one.

R-INLA

From a quick look at the web site, R-INLA seems to be able to carry out bayesian analysis without the actual MCMC sampling. This makes it possible to quickly try various different model specifications without hours of waiting time. This package looks very interesting and definitely deserves more attention.

Since the Linux version is binary,  I have to manually set the two main files so they are allowed to run. I hope the team can soon make a version ready for CRAN.

Runjags

To my knowledge, there are three interface packages between R and JAGS: rjags, R2jags, and runjags. I just realized that with runjags, you don't have to have a separate JAGS model file but to embed it in your R source file. This certainly has its appeal and might be considered as a unique advantage of runjags.

Introduction to Data Technologies

Here is another free data analysis book that can be used to teach students to work with different types of data.

Incanter

Is Incanter a reincarnation of Lisp-Stat? I thought the battle between Lisp and S/R was over long time ago...

JAGS tutorial

Here is a JAGS tutorial, very helpful.

Revolution R Enterprise

I realized that the Revolution R Enterprise has only a version for Redhat Linux but not Ubuntu. Too bad.

Grocer

Grocer is a econometric toolbox for Scilab. Looks promising.

R package for hidden Markov model

The depmixS4 package estimates hidden Markov models, among many others. I found it very useful. Here is a short into. paper.

I like this new theme

Just replaced this new theme with the good old ClearLook theme.

Integrating R with Geany

According to landroni, R can also be easily integrated with Geany:

Download 0.19 (non-optional), then you need to set send_selection_unsafe=true in geany.conf and assign "Send selection to terminal" to a ctrl+r keybinding or similar.

As long as your Geany installation has support for the embedded virtual terminal emulator (VTE), you're ready to go (as far as I know, this requirement excludes Windows). Start R in the terminal, write some R code and send the line or selection with ctrl+r.

Integrating R and Gedit

Here is how to integrate R and Gedit using Rgedit plugin.

NetLogo-R-Extension

Here is a bridge between NetLogo and R, which looks very interesting. But I was not able to get it work on my Ubuntu box (running the latest R).

Programming in NetLogo

Here is a nice introduction to NetLogo from a programming language perspective.
