Pan-Cancer Survival Curves

An applet showing model-based survival curves across 27 different types of cancer, using publicly available data from the Cancer Genome Atlas Project, is available at this link. For more detail see this article.

Tooth distributions

An applet showing the distribution of the posterior predictive distribution of the proportion of diseased tooth sites for periodontal patients using a Bayesian nonparametric multiway model is available at this link at this link. For more detail see this article.

Beer Word Clouds

Separate word clouds for two kinds of beer are shown below. Follow this link to see similar word clouds for over 14,000 different beers. These word clouds were generated automatically by scraping over 1.5 million reviews from BeerAdvocate.com. Words that appear more often in reviews for a beer appear larger, but some commonly used words are filtered out. See this R script for the code I used to create these images.

Google Scholar Word Clouds

These word clouds were generated automatically by an R script that pulls information from Google Scholar, as described in this Simply Statistics blog post. The left cloud shows my common co-authors, the right cloud shows words that commonly appear in my publications and citations [from 2013 -- a bit outdated!].

Prime pair bounds

The chart below displays the smallest proven bound on the gap between pairs of prime numbers that occur infinitely often. Beginning with Yitang Zhang's initial bound of 70 billion in May 14th, 2013, the mathematics community has steadily pushed the bound lower. Progress may lead to a proof of the twin prime conjecture -- that there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers with a difference of 2. See this article for a good summary. This chart shows the points at which the smallest known bound has changed, who deserves credit, and a link to their argument. The log-scale chart underneath can be used to zoom in on a particular date range. Created using this google chart api, using data mostly from this polymath page.
