A great example of the utility of R

I am in the process of moving over to R as my baseline statistics applications.  Recently I have been working largely in STATA and then moving some results over to R for its fantastic graphic options.  While this has worked, it has significant limitations.  One of the strengths of R is its creation of objects that can be fed automatically into graphics commands (which STATA can also do -- but in a less comprehensive way).

The following blog post is a great example of how R works and the advantages it provides.  After the break, I will have a short commentary on why I think this example illustrates the utility of R so well.

Re-launch for Research in Public Management

It has been quite awhile since I posted -- but it is just because I have been reorganizing and resting up.  I plan to re-launch the site this week with a much broader web presence.  This blog will house my blog posts related to the research side of public management -- working papers, comments on papers/book I read, methods tutorials, etc.

I will launch a second blog for my teaching related activities at www.EBPubMan.blogspot.com.  There you will see links to news articles and other blog posts relevant to emergency management, evidence-based public management, and public management issues generally.

I have also launched a twitter feed.  Follow me @Robinson_OU for my professional twitter posts along the range of research and teaching activities reviewed above
