Personally I think the homepage needs a much better image not a "nice" version of what is currently displayed. Time Series is completely missing at the moment. Including something from the fSeries .garchFit() routine would be a great to see (well done to the RMetrics team on making it look good).

Dear Antony, I think you have fundamentally misunderstood the purpose of graphics - they are not to be used to gain insight into your data, but to add excitement and interest to otherwise boring, text-filled pages ;) Hadley On 9/27/07, Antony Unwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's a good idea t

Tim is correct -- there was no post-processing done. I've put the R script that was used to generate the graphic here: www.broad.mit.edu/~finnyk/acpclust.R As you will see, it's essentially identical to Eric Lecoutre's original script. A few margins are slightly different and of course, the Cai

It's a good idea to spruce up the graphics on R's webpage, but before we get too excited about improving how they are drawn, shouldn't we think about improving what has been drawn? The original graphic showed off a wide variety of graphics which can be drawn with R, all applied to the swiss

FYI, Peter Dalgaard's original posting from 2004 that I used is here: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/06/1094.html Per his suggestion, I changed the smoothing parameter to be: "pnmsmooth -size 1 1" instead of "pnmsmooth -size 5 5" which he originally described. The new graphic is here:

Although overall the new graphic looks better --- cleaner, clearer --- I think that the clustering graphic (tree, bottom left) has taken a step backward. cheers, Rolf Turner On 26/09/2007, at 2:53 PM, Finny Kuruvilla wrote: > I've been
