Update (5/18/2011): Looks like Freakonomics approves as well. Let the record show that I approved first 🙂Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't.
I approve: “I use the open-source program R to create the patterns.”
But, I’m not sure I approve of calling these distributions “evil.”
In case you were wondering, here are the commands to create the density plots for these “evil” distributions.
Poisson: dpois
Weibull: dweibull
Gumbel: dgumbel
Cauchy: dcauchy
Erlang: dgamma. It’s a special case of the Gamma distribution. A special case of Erlang is the Chi-squared distribution.
