PulseAudio: Stream sound from home to work computer over ssh and vnc

1. At work use papref to "Enable network access to local sound devices"and restart computer.

2. Copy pulse cookie from work to home: ~/.config/pulse/cookie so that work and home computer share same secret (cookie).

3. At work start: sudo start-pulseaudio-x11

4. At work open reverse tunnel for pulseadio: ssh -X -R 9998:localhost:4713 home

5. At work use vnc to connect to home.

6. Once connected using vnc to home, start firefox (for example) at home computer using: PULSE_SERVER=localhost:9998 firefox

The instructions are based on this: http://psung.blogspot.com/2011/09/network-audio-with-pulseaudio-made.html

Lowess smooth in logistic regression using R based on Applied Logistic Regression, 3th ed, HOSMER

To to determine linearity in the logit for a continuous variable, one can use lowess smoothed scatterplot as described in Applied Logistic Regression, 3rd Edition, in chapter 4.2.1 Methods to Examine the Scale of a Continuous Covariate in the Logit.

In the book this is illustrated using Scale_Example data from the book and STATA. I dont have stata, but this can be replicated with a good agreement in R.

For this, I will use logitloess function described here.



The data sets used in the book can be obtained here: http://wiley.mpstechnologies.com/wiley/BOBContent/searchLPBobContent.do # read in Scale_Example.txt that contains data for the example
mydata = read.table("~/Applied_Logistic_Regression_by_Hosmer_Lemeshow_3th_ed_2013/Scale Example/Scale_Example.txt")

# seperate data into x and y
y=mydata[,1]
x=mydata[,2]

# plot lowess graph
logitloess(x,y)

The resulting plot is very similar to the one provided in the book (Figure 4.1). Its not exactly same, but this could be due to differences in the implementation of the logitloess methods between R and STATA. Nevertheless, the conclusions from the plot obtained in R are same as those in the book.

Arch: Wine and GPower

GPower 4.1 installs in wine 3.0 and runs, but freezes after executing calculations due to some problems with drawing the results's plot. To fix the freezing, need to install gdiplus and lib32-gnutls:
winetricks vcrun6 lib32-gnutls gdiplus
This fixes the freezes, although the plots can't be still seen.
