WASP: An R package for complex system modelling and prediction
Published:
The wavelet-based variance transformation method is used for system modelling and prediction. It refines predictor spectral representation using Wavelet Theory, which leads to improved model specifications and prediction accuracy. A supporting open-source software, Wavelet System Prediction (WASP), can be found under page of Software.
GitHub Pages: A site to host your personal homepage
Published:
GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service that takes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files straight from a repository on GitHub, optionally runs the files through a build process, and publishes a website.
Word Cloud: A tool of visualization, communication and insights
Published:
A word cloud is a collection or cluster of words described in different sizes. The larger the word appears, the more times it is mentioned in a given text, and the more important it is.
Word to Latex: Writing papers the right way
Published:
LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.
