...It attempts to mimic the functionality of an HP ReversePolishNotation [RPN] calculator with the added enhancement of interval output. So along with your answer, you get a good idea of its trustworthiness. This app uses GAOL, a C++ library to perform arithmetic with floating-point intervals.

Lottie Vectors is an application for Matlab that alows you to do some pretty neat things -with vectors. More exactly -displaying them in ways that hopefully will allow you to explore and better understand your vector data. The basic idea is simple, take a vector defined in one of a few different types of data formats and map it on the screen. Add another vector and you start to form a 'route'. Each route or position vector can be accompanied with a 'force' vector. This can be used to show something acting on a position with direction and magnitude. Finally you can give each position a tag to display on screen. ...

...To infer the structure of community-level metabolic interactions, BiomeNet applies a mixed-membership modelling framework to enzyme abundance information. The basic idea is that the mixture components of the model (metabolic reactions, subnetworks, and networks) are shared across all groups (microbiome samples), but the mixture proportions vary from group to group. Through this framework, the model can capture nested structures within the data. BiomeNet is unique in modeling each metagenome sample as a mixture of complex metabolic systems (metabosystems).

Nowadays the idea of a music of the spheres, or a cosmic music that descends from the planets seems more like poetic philosophy than anything scientific. However, when the scientist Kepler discovered special principles about planetary motion, he also reconsidered the music. Apparently his observance of a harmonic law of planetary motion was reason for him to propose a computable system of pitch and harmony deriving from angular velocity.

Statastizard(c)2012 Nick Emblow is a program designed to guide its user into the right statistical test, perform the test, and report the results in a meaningful way. The idea of this is that the user won't actually need to know that they are using a mann-whitney U over a t-test, for example - it just tests for normality and homoscedastic of variance, and decides which test to use, then reports the results. Why? Because time after time, people come to me with some test that they've done that they think "proves" something - when in reality they've either not done a comparative test to start with (ex. a correlation), failed to test for confounding factors (such as normality etc) and as a result, failed to appropriately identify even the right test to do.
