Vanilla Air – R Tools

Dear Readers,

A fantastic update of Vanilla Air last week, R-Tools ! (thanks again Kevin !)

R-Tools is a first set of 6 functions/wizard to generate R code, with focus on recoding dataset :

1. Date to Age Conversion : Switch a date to a number (age) … when you have a birthdate, you will get a number
2. Age to Range conversion : From a number (age), create new classes (age range) … from a number, build a range
3. New classification Group : Create new level in a dimension … for example : when you have country column and want a continent column
4. New Calculated Column : Apply a calcul on a column … take an object, and apply a formula on it
5. Filter Column : Filter your dataset … it will gives you a new dataset, filtered using your own filter
6. Recode Column : Modify a column value, useful to correct wrong information in your dataset

We will continue to add new wizard for R code generation, to help the masses to develop their own R program. There are so many areas to create Wizard interface : to create package (data package, function package), to embed geovisualization “in one click”, to help user to analyze their datasets or create their Markdown documents, etc ….

Technical note : those functions take benefit of 3 R packages : eeptools, dplyr and plyr

… some companies are building softwares – like we do – other are writing vaporware roadmap in powerpoint … just chose the right platform !

Have Fun !

Vanilla Air support from Vanilla Portal

Dear Reader,

Vanilla BI portal gets momentum, powered by Vanilla Air ! With version 5.2, we have finalized support of Vanilla Air Analysis (aka : Markdown documents) with Vanilla portal. This covers not only reports (that can be used to share official analysis that combines explanation and result of analysis), but also interactive dashboard. A must !

For Reports, you can have parameters like number (for a number of cluster) but also character (to change the clustering algorithm, for example)

For Dashboard, you can manage easily different statistical graphs and even combine analysis and map

Note : as usual, all those documents can be saved in our document repository, being indexed and accessible through the document management interface or through the search interface.

Note 2 : all those examples are available, those are samples we deployed with the Vanilla 5.2 server you can download from our Website

Have Fun !

Patrick
