Let’s go to the point: Finally Python has what R used to have since a looong time ago with Shiny. This is nothing less than Python Dash, a Python framework for building analytical applications (in the author’s own words). The library is based around Flask and Plotly, the installation is pretty easy and it is …
Update: The content of this article is no longer applicable for this tablet model. Termux and Jupyter Notebook still work, however Termux does no longer support (for a long time) Android 6.0 and older. The result is that crucial libraries like Matplotlib fail to install. It is still usable but only for basic tasks. …
This post follows a few older ones I have published on Word Clouds, until now all of them were based on Python code. I like word clouds, not for the information they can communicate, but just for their aesthetics, and until now I was a bit disappointed because in R I could not get the …
During the first week of the “Developing Data Products” MOOC on Coursera, one of the lessons deals with GoogleVis. This is one of the ways to publish and animate your R charts. In practice GoogleVis provides an interface between R and the Google Charts Tools, allowing you to create interactive web charts from R without …
While browsing the web in search of supporting material for the “Statistical Inference” course on Coursera, I ended up on this link, which proposed an interactive simulation of the Central Limit Theorem for Means. It works well, it is a nice piece of work. I decided to have a look at the code, since in …
Ok, this is not Data Science. This is just for fun. I have to admit, I tend to mix up things. Here I am mixing up the German class I am taking with one of the visualizations that I prefer, the wordcloud. Not because it conveys a message about data, in this case is just …
I have a new idol. When I discovered this web site, thanks to the referral in the “Getting and Cleaning Data” MOOC on Coursera, little did I know about the gapminder.org web site, about Professor Hans Rosling from Sweden and his work as a Statistician and Global Health expert. But what really is gapminder.org? In …
Another MOOC/Learning platform has interesting offerings for Data Science. This is Udacity, with their Data Analyst Nanodegree program. The courses are not free and the cost of the program seems to be higher than those proposed by Coursera, and are based on a monthly fee. However some of the preparation courses that are part of …
