We can add coloured boxes with text or mathematics into a LaTeX beamer presentation which is particularly useful if we have definitions, theorem or computer code to highlight this information that may not be so accessible within a paragraph of text. Read the rest of this entry »
Creating a Presentation with LaTeX Beamer – Boxes
July 19th, 2010Generating Balanced Incomplete Block Designs (BIBD)
July 16th, 2010The Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD) is a well studied experimental design that has various desirable features from a statistical perspective. The crossdes package in R provides a way to generate a block design for some given parameters and test wheter this design satisfies the BIBD conditions. Read the rest of this entry »
Creating a Presentation with LaTeX Beamer – Tables
July 14th, 2010Tables of information can be included in a LaTeX beamer presentation in the same way that they would be incorporated into any other LaTeX document. The tabular environment is used and, if necessary, the tables could be numbered but this probably doesn’t make as much sense as labelling and numbering tables within an article or book.

Creating a Presentation with LaTeX Beamer – Bullet Lists
July 10th, 2010When writing a presentation we might want to use a bullet list to highlight some key points that might be lost if they are part of a large body of text. We can use the standard LaTeX environments for creating lists within a beamer presentation in a straightforward way. Read the rest of this entry »
Creating a Presentation with LaTeX Beamer – Basic Slides
July 5th, 2010In a previous post we looked at using the LaTeX beamer package to create presentations. Given a title page and outline of a presentation the next stage will be to create the content that appears in various slides of the presentation. Read the rest of this entry »
Creating a Presentation with LaTeX Beamer – Getting Started
July 2nd, 2010The LaTeX beamer package can be used to create appealing presentations for many applications. A working knowledge of LaTeX is required but once the initial learning curve and transition is made from a visual word processor to a markup based approach the benefits are worth the initial investment of time.

R Commander – two-way analysis of variance
June 25th, 2010Two way analysis of variance models can be fitted to data using the R Commander GUI. The general approach is similar to fitting the other types of model in R Commander described in previous posts. Read the rest of this entry »
R Commander – one-way analysis of variance
June 25th, 2010One way analysis of variance models can be fitted to data using the R Commander GUI. The general approach is similar to fitting the other types of model in R Commander described in previous posts. Read the rest of this entry »
R Commander – logistic regression
June 23rd, 2010We can use the R Commander GUI to fit logistic regression models with one or more explanatory variables. There are also facilities to plot data and consider model diagnostics. The same series of menus as for linear models are used to fit a logistic regression model. Read the rest of this entry »
R Commander – linear regression
June 18th, 2010We can fit various linear regression models using the R Commander GUI which also provides various ways to consider the model diagnostics to determine whether we need to consider a different model. Read the rest of this entry »
