Introduction to Biplots and FactoMiner Biplot is a graphical representation of two or more datasets in a single visualization, where each dataset is projected onto a lower-dimensional space using principal component analysis (PCA). This technique allows us to visualize the relationships between variables and individuals in a multivariate setting. In this article, we will explore how to add circles to group individuals with a second factor on a biplot made with FactoMiner.

Error: Failed to Load External Entity Introduction The readHTMLTable function in R’s XML package is used to parse HTML tables from the internet. However, when this function encounters an external entity in the table, it fails to load it and returns an error message. This article will explain what an external entity is, how readHTMLTable handles them, and provide a workaround using the httr package. What are External Entities? In HTML, an external entity is a reference to a resource that can be accessed from the internet or a local file.

Understanding GCD Serial Queues and Race Conditions As developers, we often encounter complex scenarios where multiple threads or processes interact with shared data. In Objective-C, one of the most commonly used mechanisms for managing concurrent execution is Grand Central Dispatch (GCD). In this article, we’ll delve into the world of GCD serial queues and explore how to mitigate race conditions when accessing shared data. Introduction to Serial Queues In GCD, a serial queue is a first-in, first-out (FIFO) queue that ensures only one task can execute at a time.
