Using the R Commander A Point-and-Click Interface for R

Using the R Commander A Point-and-Click Interface for R

This book provides a general introduction to the R Commander graphical user interface (GUI) to R for readers who are unfamiliar with R. It is suitable for use as a supplementary text in a basic or intermediate-level statistics course. It is not intended to replace a basic or other statistics text but rather to complement it although it does promote sound statistical practice in the examples. The book should also be useful to individual casual or occasional users of R for whom the standard command-line interface is an obstacle. tinyurl. com/RcmdrBookThe site includes data files used in the book and an errata list. http://socserv. mcmaster. ca/jfox/Books/RCommander/Writing-Rcmdr-Plugins. pdf Writing R Commander Plug-in Packages | Using the R Commander A Point-and-Click Interface for R

Creo Simulate 7.0 Tutorial

Creo Simulate 7.0 Tutorial

Creo Simulate 7. 0 Tutorial introduces new users to finite element analysis using Creo Simulate and how it can be used to analyze a variety of problems. The tutorial lessons cover the major concepts and frequently used commands required to progress from a novice to an intermediate user level. The commands are presented in a click-by-click manner using simple examples and exercises that illustrate a broad range of the analysis types that can be performed. In addition to showing the command usage the text will explain why certain commands are being used and where appropriate the relation of commands to the overall Finite Element Analysis (FEA) philosophy are explained. Moreover since error analysis is an important skill considerable time is spent exploring the created models so that users will become comfortable with the debugging phase of modeling. This textbook is written for first-time FEA users in general and Creo Simulate users in particular. After a brief introduction to finite element modeling the tutorial introduces the major concepts behind the use of Creo Simulate to perform Finite Element Analysis of parts. These include modes of operation element types design studies (analysis sensitivity studies organization) and the major steps for setting up a model (materials loads constraints analysis type) studying convergence of the solution and viewing the results. Both 2D and 3D problems are covered. This tutorial deals exclusively with operation in integrated mode with Creo Parametric. It is suitable for use with both Releases 7. 0 of Creo Simulate.

Creo Parametric 9.0 Tutorial

Creo Parametric 9.0 Tutorial

The eleven lessons in this tutorial introduce you to the design capabilities of Creo Parametric 9. 0. The tutorial covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance from a novice to an intermediate user level. Major topics include part and assembly creation and creation of engineering drawings. Also illustrated are the major functions that make Creo Parametric a parametric solid modeler. Although the commands are presented in a click-by-click manner an effort has been made in addition to showing/illustrating the command usage to explain why certain commands are being used and the relation of feature selection and construction to the overall part design philosophy. Simply knowing where commands can be found is only half the battle. As is pointed out numerous times in the text creating useful and effective models of parts and assemblies requires advance planning and forethought. Moreover since error recovery is an important skill considerable time is spent exploring the created models. In fact some errors are intentionally induced so that users will become comfortable with the debugging phase of model creation. At the end of each lesson is a short quiz reviewing the new topics covered in that chapter. Following the quiz are several simple exercise parts that can be created using new commands taught in that lesson. In addition to these an ongoing project throughout the book is also included. This project consists of several parts that are introduced with the early lessons and finally assembled at the end. Who this book is for This book has been written specifically with students in mind. Typically students enter their first CAD course with a broad range of abilities both in spatial visualization and computer skills. The approach taken here is meant to allow accessibility to persons of all levels. These lessons therefore were written for new users with no previous experience with CAD although some familiarity with computers is assumed. | Creo Parametric 9. 0 Tutorial

The Listening Book How to Create a World of Rich Connections and Surprising Growth by Actually Hearing Each Other

Satisfying secure connection with others depends heavily on how well we listen to each other and respond to what we’ve heard. The Listening Book lays bare the key elements of both deeply attuned and badly misattuned listening in vivid scenes of real-life interactions that capture the emotional impact and give the reader an illuminating aha experience. Added to that is a mind-opening account of psychological processes and principles that normally operate from outside of awareness showing how skillful listening can reveal those dynamics. Beyond even that such listening can produce interactions that unlock lifelong emotional conditioning to yield liberating change through one of the brain’s most remarkable processes which neuroscientists call memory reconsolidation. Whether read solo with a partner or in a reading group The Listening Book is for everyone who yearns for deeper emotional connection and closeness everyone who is at a loss to understand what is interfering and everyone who is fascinated by the subtle and manifold factors involved in interpersonal communication.

Understanding Statistics for the Social Sciences with IBM SPSS

Understanding Statistics for the Social Sciences with IBM SPSS

Modern statistical software provides the ability to compute statistics in a timely orderly fashion. This introductory statistics textbook presents clear explanations of basic statistical concepts and introduces students to the IBM SPSS program to demonstrate how to conduct statistical analyses via the popular point-and-click and the syntax file methods. The focal point is to show students how easy it is to analyse data using SPSS once they have learned the basics. Provides clear explanation of basic statistical concepts that provides the foundation for the beginner students’ statistical journey. Introduces the SPSS software program. Gives clear explanation of the purpose of specific statistical procedures (e. g. frequency distributions measures of central tendencies measures of variability etc. ). Avoids the conventional cookbook approach that contributes very little to students’ understanding of the rationale of how the correct results were obtained. The advantage of learning the IBM SPSS software package at the introductory class level is that most social sciences students will employ this program in their later years of study. This is because SPSS is one of the most popular of the many statistical packages currently available. Learning how to use this program at the very start not only familiarizes students with the utility of this program but also provides them with the experience to employ the program to conduct more complex analyses in their later years. | Understanding Statistics for the Social Sciences with IBM SPSS
