Failure resolved

Hi,

It seems that the failure has been resolved since yesterday "August 1st, 2017".

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. I hope that the continuity of service will be ensured throughout the summer.

Kind regards,

Ricco (August 2nd, 2017).

Tanagra and Sipina add-ins for Excel 2016

The add-ins “tangra.xla” and “sipina.xla” are greatly involved in popularity of Tanagra and Sipina software applications. They incorporate menus dedicated to data mining in Excel. They implement a simple bridge between the data into the spreadsheet and Tanagra or Sipina. I developed and tested the latest add-ins versions for Excel 2007 and 2010. I had access recently to Excel 2016. I checked the add-ins. The conclusion is that the tools work without a hitch.

CDF and PPF in Excel, R and Python

 How to compute the cumulative distribution functions and the percent point functions of various commonly used distributions in Excel, R and Python. I use Excel (in conjunction with Tanagra or Sipina), R and Python for the practical classes of my courses about data mining and statistics at the University. Often, I ask students to perform hypothesis tests or to calculate confidence intervals, etc. We work on computers, it is obviously out of the question to use the statistical tables to obtain the quantile or p-value of the commonly used distribution functions. In this tutorial, I present the main functions for normal distribution , Student's t-distribution , chi-squared distribution and Fisher-Snedecor distribution . I realized that students sometimes find it difficult to match the reading of statistical tables with the functions they have difficulty identifying in software. It is also an opportunity for us to verify the equivalences between the functions proposed by Excel, R (sta...

The "compiler" package for R

It is widely agreed that R is not a fast language. Notably, because it is an interpreted language. To overcome this issue, some solutions exists which allow to compile functions written in R. The gains in computation time can be considerable. But it depends on our ability to write code that can benefit from these tools. In this tutorial, we study the efficiency of the Luke Tierney's “compiler” package which is provided in the base distribution of R. We program two standard data analysis treatments, (1) with and (2) without using loops: the scaling of variables in a data frame; the calculation of a correlation matrix by matrix product. We compare the efficiency of non-compiled and compiled versions of these functions. We observe that the gain for the compiled version is dramatic for the version with loops, but negligible for the second variant. We note also that, in the R 3.4.2 version used, it is not needed to compile explicitly the functions containing loops because it exists a JI...
