CheatSheet - The Trump Circus Rolls Back into Town

Today: Russian Troops Respond to Protests , Romney Hid Governor Records , Kabul Blast Kills Dozens December 06, 2011 KINGMAKER 1. The Trump Circus Rolls Back into Town He's meeting with Gingrich and Romney in New York, moderating a GOP debate and, of course, hawking a book. As Republicans scramble for his valuable endorsement, The Daily Beast’s David A. Graham talks to The Donald about why he loves Newt, how he’ll make a great debate moderator—and when he’ll throw his support behind a candidate. Read it at The Daily Beast International 2. Russian Troops Respond to Protests Russia has deployed thousands of police and Interior- ministry troops in Moscow after protesters took to the streets alleging electoral fraud. Russia’s Interior Minister Vasily Panchenkov said the troops were meant "to ensure the security of the citizens.” At least 300 protesters were arrested in Moscow Monday night. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday, "Russian voters deserve a full investigation of electoral fraud and manipulation.” Read it at BBC DIRT 3. Romney Hid Governor Records For now, the 1,000 pages of dirt Nancy Pelosi said she’d dig up on Newt Gingrich will likely take a back seat to the latest news surrounding Mitt Romney. Reuters has learned that Romney went to great lengths to hide his records as governor of Massachusetts, spending nearly $100,000 in state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term before launching an unsuccessful campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. State officials say the move was legal, but acknowledge laws are vague when it comes to technology. Before he left office, Romney’s staff had emails deleted from state servers, erasing much of the internal documentation from his four-year tenure as governor. Read it at Reuters Terrorism 4. Kabul Blast Kills Dozens At least 54 people were killed and 100 more injured after a suicide attack at Abu-Ul Fazil, a Shiite shrine in the Afghan capital Kabul. Hundreds of people had gathered there to mark the holiday of Ashoura, a holiday that Shia were banned from celebrating under the Taliban. Separately, four people were killed in a bombing near a mosque in the northern city of Mazar e Sharif. Read it at Al Jazeera Finance 5. Corzine Ignored Warnings Former MF Global CEO Jon Corzine ignored repeated warnings about the company’s exposure, according to The Wall Street Journal. Last year, the company’s chief risk officer, Michael Roseman, repeatedly expressed his concerns about the Corzine’s investment in European bonds to the board of the directors; the board, however, continued to OK Corzine’s trades, with the company’s exposure to European debt swelling from $1.5 billion in late 2010 to $6.3 billion just before the company’s October 31 bankruptcy. Roseman also apparently warned Corzine directly in several meetings, both one-on-one and in front of other people. He resigned from the company in March.

Contents: 40 years of boxplots 40 years of boxplots Dec 06, 2011 12:54 am  •  Permalink Famed statistician John Tukey created the boxplot in 1970. It shows a distribution summary in a small amount of space. Hadley Wickham and Lisa Stryjewski look back on the old standby and its evolution up to present. Keep it in mind, while still used today, the boxplot was created with pencil and paper. One of the original constraints on the boxplot was that it was designed to be computed and drawn by hand. As every statistician now has a computer on their desk, this constraint can be relaxed, allowing variations of the boxplot that are substantially more complex. These variations attempt to display more information about the distribution, maintaing the compact size of the boxplot, but bringing in the richer distributional summary of the histogram or density plot. These plots can overcome problems in the original such as the failure to display multi-modality, or the excessive number of "outliers" when n is large. Alright, computers are useful. I guess.
