Normally, this blog would only contain technical and scientific related posts. But this time I would like to share with you a very interesting phenomenon I came across on the R mailing list(s). I call it 'Ripley Facts' after the prolific statistician, ... [Read more...]

Compressive sampling (CS) is revolutionizing the way we process analog to digital conversion, our understanding of linear systems and the limits of information theory. One of the key concept in CS is that a signal can be represented in a sparse bases o... [Read more...]

One of the most common pattern in programming languages is to ability to iterate over a given set (a vector usually) by using 'for' loops. In most modern scripting languages range operations is a build in data structure and trivial to use with 'for' lo... [Read more...]

 Multidimensional arrays are ubiquitous. Any complex problem having multivariate observables would easily generate a need to represent corresponding data in multidimensional arrays. Most of the practitioners would choose to apply operations on the... [Read more...]

The rules of the draw are simple and are as follows:8 Group winner teams will be seeded.8 Group runner-up teams will be unseeded.Teams coming from the same group and from ... [Read more...]

Compressed sensing (CS) is pretty much appealing all current signal processing research community. At the same time, popularity of R language gaining a strong foot in the research and industry. Even though historically MATLAB is a de-facto standard in ... [Read more...]
