Java Distribution Functions |
|
3543 clicks since Oct 19, 2003
|
|
A translation of the R distribution functions from C to Java. The translation isn't entirely pretty (especially since some of the C code was originally translated from Fortran), but it seems to work. Classes implement the PDF, CDF, and (usually) quantile and random variate generation for the following distributions: beta, hypergeometric, normal, binomial, logistic, poisson,
cauchy, lognormal, signrank,
chisquare, negative_binomial, t,
exponential, noncentral_beta, tukey,
f, noncentral_chisquare, uniform,
gamma, noncentral_f, weibull,
geometric, noncentral_t, wilcox |

Matran: A Matrix Wrapper for Fortran 95 |
|
3037 clicks since Jun 18, 2003
|
|
Matran (pronounced MAY-tran) is a Fortran 95 wrapper that implements matrix operations and computes matrix decompositions using Lapack and the Blas. Although Matran is not based on a formally defined matrix language, it provides the flavor and convenience of coding in matrix oriented systems like Matlab, Octave, etc. By using routines from Lapack and the Blas, Matran allows the user to obtain the computational benefits of these packages with minimal fuss and bother. |

A Brief Introduction to Graphical Models and Bayesian Networks |
|

The tutorial begins with this quote:
<p>
"Graphical models are a marriage between probability theory and graph theory. They provide a natural tool for dealing with two problems that occur throughout applied mathematics and engineering -- uncertainty and complexity -- and in particular they are playing an increasingly important role in the design and analysis of machine learning algorithms. Fundamental to the idea of a graphical model is the notion of modularity -- a complex system is built by combining simpler parts. Probability theory provides the glue whereby the parts are combined, ensuring that the system as a whole is consistent, and providing ways to interface models to data. The graph theoretic side of graphical models provides both an intuitively appealing interface by which humans can model highly-interacting sets of variables as well as a data structure that lends itself naturally to the design of efficient general-purpose algorithms.
</p>
<p>
Many of the classical multivariate probabalistic systems studied in fields such as statistics, systems engineering, information theory, pattern recognition and statistical mechanics are special cases of the general graphical model formalism -- examples include mixture models, factor analysis, hidden Markov models, Kalman filters and Ising models. The graphical model framework provides a way to view all of these systems as instances of a common underlying formalism. This view has many advantages -- in particular, specialized techniques that have been developed in one field can be transferred between research communities and exploited more widely. Moreover, the graphical model formalism provides a natural framework for the design of new systems." --- Michael Jordan, 1998.

Creating and using a timing class |
|
2435 clicks since Feb 8, 2004
|
|
The purpose of this tutorial is to talk about two seperate concepts; profiling and object oriented programming (OOP). In this tutorial we'll create a simple class to allow you to create one or more timers. You can then use these timers to show you how long a script or function takes to run, which can help you determine what portions of your script are eating up the most processing time. This is sometimes referred to as profiling. You can also use timer objects to provide generic timer display in your scripts.

53 CSS-Techniques You Couldn't Live Without - Here you’ll find a list of techniques we, as web-architects, really couldn’t live without. They are essential and they indeed make our life easier. Let’s take a look at 53 CSS-based techniques you should always have ready to hand if you develop web-sites. |
|
|
Build Your Site Navigation With CSS - The goal in this tutorial is to build a colorful, attractive text-based navigation system without the use of images.
|
|
|
Content with Style: A CSS Framework - In my Modular CSS article I documented the possibility of breaking down stylesheets into components that could be reused across projects. All well and good. The next logical step is to extend this to become a CSS framework, allowing rapid development of sites with pre-written and tested components. All that\'s really required to produce this is a set of naming conventions and a flexible base template. |
|
|
CSS Design: Taming Lists - Demonstrate how to use CSS to bring unwieldy lists under control. |
|
|
CSS Templates - Provides a nice interface to chose from 12 css templates. When you select a template, the page reveals the template and the associated css markup used to create it. |
|
|
CSShark answers Frequently Asked Questions - This web site answers some frequently asked questions, explains some of the basics of CSS, gives you tips and tricks for tackling the problems with Netscape 4, offers you a tutorial about positioning with CSS. There is also a page with interesting Links.
|
|
|
Dynamic CSS with PHP - Explains some of the benefits of and how to generate style sheets with PHP. |
|
|
Exploring the Limits of CSS Layout - The current CSS spec wasn\'t designed with multi-column layouts in mind. Where does this leave designers aiming for the lauded 3-column layout? Kev has the answers in this quick-and-dirty tutorial. |

Printing a Book with CSS: Boom! - HTML and CSS, two of our favorite acronyms, are normally associated with web pages. And deservedly so: HTML is the dominant document format on the web and CSS is used to style most HTML pages. But, are they suitable for off-screen use? Can CSS be used for serious print jobs? To find out, we decided to take the ultimate challenge: to produce the next edition of our book directly from HTML and CSS files. In this article we sketch our solution and quote from the style sheet used. Towards the end we describe the book microformat (boom!) we developed in the process. |

|
The CSS Pointer Group - Our focus is Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and we have tried to compile a useful source of information, examples and links to other external resources.

A Small, Portable 3D Engine |

This article will describe the evolution of my engine from a sample program to a full library of portable software rendering functions, and document this library, called pGL (portable GL). The library interface is based on OpenGL (as much as a set of TI-85 programs can be based on C), because it is very simple and easy to use. |

Dedicated Server Setup Checklist |
|
May 28, 2007 4:25 pm
|

You’ve outgrown shared hosting and decided to start renting a server of your own. Since you’re still on a tight budget, you want an unmanaged server, where full responsibility for configuring and managing the server is yours. These are the steps I go through every time I set up a new server for web and database hosting. |

Online Mathematics: Scalable Vector Graphics |
|
May 6, 2007 10:50 am
|
|
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is the open source Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation for two dimensional vector graphics. The combination of SVG and JavaScript is a powerful platform for creating interactive graphics, comparable to Flash and Java. SVG has been overlooked, however, partly because of incomplete browser support. This situation improved significantly in 2006 with the release in of Firefox 1.5 and Opera 9, both with native SVG capability. The first part of this article reviews the current status of SVG implementation and offers several examples with a mathematical flavor. The second part, for developers, explains one of the examples in detail. |

There are a lot of mistakes in the SVG documents currently found on the Web. It is important that these problems are addressed as soon as possible to prevent them from propagating into authoring tools and the SVG documents that people will write in the future. |
