Road to Viva Voc – Day 1


Well, Viva Voc is the battle field to get a PhD! Winning in that battle is critical, but getting there is also vital.

After spending 3 years and 9 months playing around, I am now wrapping it up!

As this would be an exciting moment for me, I would like to keep the logs of what I will do to get there. It would be interesting to read it after getting there if I will.

27 Jun 2012

  • Starting to assemble all the works I’ve done in to the thesis.
  • Refreshing my LaTeX competency
  • Still got less than 100 pages so far …

What’s next?

Pairach.com seems to loose the focus, actually it’s me that have an interest in various things. Even though, they are all interconnected, I think that a website should have one theme. Hence Pairach.com will be the home of me and a brief of my works and interests. Moreover, it will be the hub to websites that contains more details. My research interests could be categories into four aspects; topic, discipline, method and software. The following is the list of spin-off websites of Pairach.com that will have their own theme. 

  • Topic: Tourism Supply Chains
  • Discipline: Supply Chain Economics
  • Method: Structural Equation Models
  • Software: Econometrics with R

However, I will properly work on these website after I finish my PhD … won’t be long!

Highlights of the useR! 2012 – Review of the reviews


It’s gutted that I could not attend useR! 2012 after having a great time at useR!2011 at Warwick.

However, a great active online community of useRs allows me to get lots of goods stuffs from the conference even though I did not attend physically.

By keep following the #useR2012 and #rstats in Twitter and reading some great posts from R-bloggerRs on the useR! 2012, the the highlights I got are an emerging of the reproducible research with knitr package and its integration in R Studio as well as a good collection of pre-conference short course by Bill Venables.

My Highlights 

  1. knitr
    As expected, many of #useR2012 tweets were about knitr and its creator Yihui Xie. Even though an existence of Sweave which allow one to build a reproducible report by  integrating text and R code into one document, its learning curve is quite steep. For my experience, it took me quite a while to set up emac and ESS and actually produce the first Sweave document. However it seems worth while to learn for the long term benefits of my teaching and research.Moreover, an integration between knitr and R Studio (IDE for R)has taken reproducible report and research to another level as well as expand the wider useRs. With the use of R Studio and knir, one can be able to make a reproducible report and research in minutes as I did. Here is my previous post on reproducible report & research with knitr in R Studio.Back to useR! 2012. It’s very glad to read the presentation by Yihui Xie (knitr) and JJ Allaire (R Studio) on ‘New Tools for Reproducible Research with R’ (slides).
  2. R short course
    As Frank Harrell mentioned in useR! 2011 that there will be a pre-conference short course, and it was constructed by well-known useR and statistician Bill Venables. I found that one may learn a lot just by reading slides and follow the codes provided in this link.

What others say about useR! 2012?
