Plotting a correlation matrix with ggplot2



This is a decent description on a decent way to display the results of multpile correlations in R using ggplot2.

Please don't use a red-green colour scheme. It's hard for about 10% of men to see.

Hadley Wickham has a good point. The reason I chose red-green is that is the standard in the microarray field that I am most familiar with. If anyone has any suggestions for a better colour combination that would be great.

A census of amplified and overexpressed human cancer genes : Nature Reviews Cancer

This paper , that I am an author on, was released on 24th December 2009: "Integrated genome-wide screens of DNA copy number and gene expression in human cancers have accelerated the rate of discovery of amplified and overexpressed genes. However, the biological importance of most of the genes identified in such studies remains unclear. In this Analysis, we propose a weight-of-evidence based classification system for identifying individual genes in amplified regions that are selected for during tumour development. In a census of the published literature we have identified 77 genes for which there is good evidence of involvement in the development of human cancer." I spent a huge amount of time on this one but I am still pretty low on the author pecking order. This is for a super high impact journal, "Nature Reviews Cancer" which has a 2008 ISI Impact Factor of 30.762. Also check out the associated website which I put together just before Christmas.

Nationwide statement to QIF Format

Nationwide recently closed down the ability to get OFX statement files. These files were used to get transaction information into Microsoft Money and many other bits of accounting software. You can read more about it at the BetterOnlineBanking.co.uk website. I needed to find a way round this so that I could continue using Gnucash without resorting to typing everything in. Looking around I notices that the QIF format was pretty simple and so I have written two scripts: A Nationwide credit card statement to QIF converter A Nationwide flexaccount statement to QIF converter They are tested to work on both OS X and Linux and have zero requirements. Lets hope that Nationwide sort themselves out and produce a better way to do this. Usage Download the full statement in csv format from Nationwide Download the relevant script into the same directory Make the script executable: chmod +x NWCreditcsv2qif.sh Create the QIF file: ./NWCreditcsv2qif.sh NWCreditOct2009.csv > NWCred
