Summary Statistics in R and Python
I wonder how easy it is, to do simple statistics with Python and R. For example, to calculate mean, median and other summary statistics. Let’s start with the following very simple data set. height weight 1.85 85.0 1.80 79.1 1.91 80.5 1.75 80.3 1.77 […]
Basic stdin/stdout programs in Haskell
It is not very complicated to write basic stdin/stdout Unix-style programs in Haskell. For example, the following one-line program copies stdin to stdout. main = interact id This might not look very useful, but this code is a good starting point to implement, for […]

I found these interesting articles about Bayes and null hypothesis significance testing by Andrew Gelman. What’s wrong with Bayes My problem is not just with the methods – although I do have problems with the method – but also with the ideology. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2019/12/03/whats-wrong-with-bayes/ Copyright […]
Haskell development environment
I finally found some time to adjust my Haskell development environment. Up to now, I was just trying some snippets in GHCi. But as I am used to IDEs, I would prefer to have at least some kind of build tool connected to my […]
Articles about Rust
I found these articles about Rust just recently. How I Start: Rust Rust has a reputation of being difficult because it makes no effort to hide what is going on. I’d like to show you how I start with Rust projects. https://christine.website/blog/how-i-start-rust-2020-03-15 Copyright 2020 […]
