The Small Data Rule: Infer the Big Picture from only Five Values!


Everybody is talking about big data but the real skill lies in the art of inferring useful information from only a handful of values!

If you want to learn how to determine the range of the typical value of a dataset (i.e. the median) with just five values and why this works, read on!

Euler Coding Challenge: Build Maths’ Most Beautiful Formula in R


In this post, we will first give some intuition for and then demonstrate what is often called the most beautiful formula in mathematics, Euler’s identity, in R – first numerically with base R and then also symbolically, so read on!
