A parent's guide to Linux Web filtering
Talks about how to setup squid, iptables, and Dan's Guardian to build a tight web-filter. Here's the link

Statistically Speaking...

• ANOVA, contrast tests, interaction effects, and more... here
• How reliable is the computed correlation; via t distrib, or do a Fisher's Z Transformation to see. Here...
• OK, the cool online book: SticiGui
• Do I remember equations for Shewness and Kurtosis? Here they are
• Typically, with large samlple sizes, very small differences get detected as significant! hmm..... After the test, if the p-value is smaller than the critical alpha level, the finding is significant. More Here

Matlab
hisfit function in Matlab plots both the histogram and the envelope of a normal distribution that is maximum-likelihood (ML) for the given data.

Feature Preparation in Text Categorization . [local copy name: feature_preparation.pdf.zip]
Good introductory reviews on bunch of text categorization models and links to 'phrase'- feature selection tools. Useful comments too.
Weighting schemes covered include binary feature (BI), term frequency (TF), TFIDF, logTFIDF.
Useful pointers:
Brill’s transformation-based part of speech tagger,
Ramshaw & Marcus’s noun phrase chunking detector, ....

Latex Stuff:
Hmm, before I forget; I use the following command-sequence: latex blah.tex; dvips -t letter blah.dvi; ps2pdf blah.ps
Great helpful stuff>>

Dmalloc page
  Use this library to replace conventionl malloc(), free(), and so on; check for memory leaks; ...
  check the logFile for ERROR/WARNING
  A typical environmental var setting:
  setenv DMALLOC_OPTIONS log-trans,log-stats,check-fence,check-heap,check-funcs,log=logfile

Mcheck, an alternative of dmalloc
Very easy. Just one call of mtrace(), and life is good!
I've used it in voiceFrmwork, and analyzed with the cmd-line tool mtrace:
  mtrace bin/vcIIValGrp logfile

C-dissection ~~~
# Allocate memory for an array inside a function that received the array as a param?
void theFn(,.., myStructType **stP)
{
  myStructType *temp; //temp is an array of structures
  temp = (myStructType*)malloc(..);
  ...
  *stP=temp
}
Now when you want to call this fn:
  myStructType *stP; //stP is an array of structures
  theFn(...,&stP);

# Initialize random number generator:
srand(time(NULL));

CVS note
-- From Cygwin
  export CVSROOT=:ext:arashid@gibson.cs.umn.edu:/project/..../cvs-repository
  export CVS_RSH=ssh
If the files you want to install in CVS reside in `WDIR', and you want them to appear in the repository as `$CVSROOT/yoyodyne/RDIR', you can do this:
  $ cd WDIR
  $ cvs import -m "Imported sources" yoyodyne/RDIR yoyo start
- Copy the 'results.xsl' with tag 1.45 from the HEAD:
  cvs update -r 1.45 results.xsl

- Or, to copy the 'results.xsl' from the branch 'VOICE_EXPT':
  cvs update -r VOICE_EXPT results.xsl

- Using tkdiff to check difference between the local 'widgets.xsl' with that of in the HEAD that has the tag 1.10 (exclude white spaces while doing so):
  tkdiff -r 1.10 -w standard/widgets.xsl

Remote X connection with Cygwin/X

Eclipse tidbits

• Getting a "Launch failed no binaries" with CDT?
  > Check whether the appropriate 'Binary Parsers' are selected in the project property.
• A C-project isn't building properly?
  > Uncheck "Run all project builders" in make target setting...

OK. Let's go {home}
