Yeah, it’s made by the same guy that made the reshape package. Nice looking plots.

Hey Mike,

Have you looked at using ggplot2? Its much slower than lattice, but vastly superior. Usually you can produce more complex, publication quality graphs, in fewer lines of code. I’ve been using it frequently at work the past few weeks, its really quite wonderful. Check out the equivalent of the above here:

Comment on Google Scholar + Yahoo Pipes = scholar alerts by Bill Cohen

Might you help us understand why a simple alert service based on keywords in academic journal abstracts, which practically all publishers display at no charge on their own websites, isn’t already provided by Google Scholar? I believe that while the articles are copyrighted, the abstracts themselves, as well as keywords, would seem to be searchable in some manner. Many thanks!

Comment on Brendan O’Connor puts machine learning and statistics in a jar and shakes the jar by vyolian

Haha, this made me laugh. We’re actually talking about this very thing over at http://machine-learning.eggsprout.com. Trying to define ML in relation to AI, Data Mining, and Stats. There’s also room to talk about how the media has influenced the definition as well.

Would love to have you join our conversation over there.

Anyone can clone and edit pipes. If you were to go to my pipe, edit source, click on Fetch Page, you see this error

“Can’t fetch pages that robots.txt disallow”

which means you Google disallowed scraping of their scholar results page.
