Maybe. The plots look a lot like GGplot2 plots, any the syntax looks like python, but I haven't dug in to it to see if it builds plots using the Graphical Grammar under the hood.

I've used that library, and I really don't like it at all. They tried to bring the R syntax to python, which ends up looking awful and is missing the point of the Graphical Grammar. In the same way that every language has it'

Not OP, but I've also been look for a way to leave ggplot2 behind and make the jump to 100% python for data analysis. These look neat. Seaborn - http://web.stanford.edu/~mwaskom/software/seaborn/ Blaze -

I’ve seen a good example of this recently. Nipype [1] produces network visualization of neuroimaging processing code[2]. They still look like a gnarled nest, but, for other neuroimaging people, they’re a lot easier to read then the actual c

When is the flash on and when is it off in these plot? What would these plots look like in a control subject? Does the subject have any other indication of when the flashes are occurring? I know that this isn't written to be read crit

I don't think that entrenched interests are not the problem here. I think it's that a small private team can always out flank a standards committee. This difference is amplified when it's not clear exactly what needs to be bu

I love the idea and the scrappy implementation, but how does anyone know that this works? What was it validated against? Should the title maybe be "Idea for cheap disease analysis via blood sample and iOS"

I haven't been to a DMV since I took my driving test (a decade ago). I just go to the AAA. They can do almost anything a DMV can. I think that the relationship between the DMV and AAA is a great example of what can happen when governme

How would you feel if I signed up to write for your 'uber for conversations' and build AI to write on my behalf? I'm not being glib, I would actually do that, and I want to know if you'd be cool with it.

"American Nations: a History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures" is a more historically rigorous look at this idea. I highly recommend the book.

To understand an HMM: Start with a MM with two states. In state "A" we always observe "X" in state "B" we always observe "Y". That's a basic MM. Now lets change it to a HMM. Now, in state &quo
