TagCloud generator — A ruby script that takes a listing (either as a file or from stdin) of <count, word/phrase> pairs and produces a simple tag cloud html file. This is pretty simplistic, so if you want to change the font sizes, you'll need to tweak the minFontSize and maxFontSize variables...at some point, maybe I'll add parameters for that...

Introduction to Statistical Thought

Michael L. Lavine, a professor of statistics at UMass, has a free e-book called Introduction to Statistical Thought, which is a great introduction to statitics at both the undergraduate and graduate level. It has lots of examples in R, which I found particularly useful since that is my choice stats tool. Check out the PDF!

TupleFlow Program Downloads

Extract N-Grams — Meant for use on the Swarm at UMass, this program will extract the counts associated with all 1- through 5-gram phrases in an input file. This is done by processing the Google NGrams counts and the map-reduce framework, TupleFlow. At some point, I would like to modify this to use any cluster with a DRMAA interface and any n-gram collection. Note: this might not work any more; TupleFlow has changed bunches since 2008.

QALP Downloads

QALP::IdentifierSplitter — A Perl module which contains several functions which allow you to split compound source code identifiers (or any sequence of concatenated words) into their constituent parts. For example, `spongebobsquarepants' will be split into `sponge_bob_square_pants'. Two interface scripts are also included. Note: I've heard this is buggy (surprise!).
