Understanding biglm and Data Framing in R As a data analyst or statistician, working with large datasets can be a daunting task. One popular package for regression analysis is biglm, which allows for the estimation of linear models using big data. However, when dealing with massive datasets, it’s essential to understand how to work with data frames efficiently and effectively. In this article, we’ll explore the issue you’ve encountered with using biglm on a smaller subset of your dataset (test) instead of the full dataset (iris).

Pivot with Dynamic Columns in Oracle Introduction Oracle databases have been a stalwart in the world of relational databases for decades, and one of its most powerful features is the ability to dynamically pivot data. In this article, we will explore how to achieve dynamic pivoting in Oracle using stored functions and the SYS_REFCURSOR type. Background Dynamic pivoting refers to the process of transforming a set of data from a tabular format to a formatted table where each row represents a unique value for one column.

Two Problems with Shiny Modules ===================================== Shiny modules are a powerful tool for modularizing and organizing code in R Shiny applications. They allow developers to create reusable, self-contained pieces of code that can be easily integrated into larger apps. In this post, we’ll explore two common problems that arise when working with Shiny modules: passing reactive values and displaying output in the main panel. Problem 1: Passing Reactive Values The first problem we encountered was related to passing reactive values from the app’s input to the module’s server code.

Understanding Unrecognized Selector Sent on iOS In this article, we will explore the concept of “unrecognized selector sent” in the context of iOS development. This error occurs when an app attempts to send a message (or call a method) to an object that does not recognize or implement that message. Background and Context When developing apps for iOS, it is common to work with user interface components such as views, controls, and windows.

Understanding the Problem SQL Query - SUM function returning wrong result In this article, we will delve into the complexities of SQL queries and explore how to correctly calculate the sum of areas for lakes that contain at least one island for each continent. The problem statement involves generating a table with continents and their respective lake area shares. To do this, we need to join multiple tables: IslandIn, Lake, and geo_lake.

Making a Function Available at Startup in R ===================================================== As any R user knows, there are times when it’s frustrating to remember to load the workspace every time you start up R. In this post, we’ll explore how to make your custom functions available at startup without relying on manual workarounds. Understanding R’s Execution Flow Before diving into the solutions, let’s take a look at how R executes code. When you start R, it first checks for certain files and settings that can influence its behavior.

iOS Static Table in a View: A Deep Dive ==================================================== As an iOS developer, one common question is whether it’s possible to embed a static table view directly into a view controller without using a UITableViewController. In this article, we’ll explore the two main options for building a screen with a static table and provide guidance on how to implement them. Understanding Table Views Before diving into the solutions, let’s take a brief look at how table views work in iOS.
