The Red Maple Leaf Award
For making a very nice-looking graph of opinion polls for the 40th Canadian federal election and keeping it constantly up to date, I award you this Red Maple Leaf Award. Keep up the good work! Arctic Gnome ( talk • contribs) 13:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC) |
Just FYI. I added another poll for EKOS October 3 that was previously missed... I saw you already had data points for October 4 in your graph, and wasn't sure if you might miss it since it's in the past (e.g. if you grab just the newest ones, rather than the whole set) frogg ( talk) 17:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
First of all thanks a lot for consistently doing this everyday... Just thought I'd point out an apparent error in today's graph... the green points on the graph are 11,12,9 but the data points are 11,12,7. Not sure how that happened... frogg ( talk) 02:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I would like to know wich software you are using to do nice graph, like the one for the federal election. Thanks!

Hello Galneweinhaw! On 10 October you added a message at Talk:Airfoil saying I'm a bit concerned with the explanation here, but it looks like the issue is contentious. Is there anyone following this article willing to discuss it? However, you then deleted it.
Yes, I do follow all discussions on the subjects of airfoils, lift and Bernoulli's principle, and I'm very happy to discuss. You could raise your concerns on any of the Talk pages, or on my User talk page. If you have a concern with any of the explanation in the article let's discuss it and get it sorted it out. I will respond.
I see you are a physics teacher. I am an aeronautical engineer so I have done quite a bit of physics over the years, and I talk the language. Best wishes. Dolphin ( t) 07:54, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Hey glad to see you are back and that your graph is back, too! Just in time for the critical period of the campaign! - Ahunt ( talk) 10:34, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Greetings Galneweinhaw,
Any chance you'd be willing/able to help set up an R-based graph like the nice one you did for the 2015 federal election campaign on the current opinion polling page? Nanos is at it again with the "rolling" polls for which only 1/4 of the sample of each successive poll is independent from the previous poll. Unadjusted, these polls are disproportionately influencing the trend line in the simple 30-day-average graph that's currently up, so it would be nice to set up one of the local regression graphs with weighting of polls by sample size. The challenge will be to tweak the code so that all Nanos polls with a sample size listed as "1000 (1/4)" get weighted as though they have a sample size of 250. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Undermedia ( talk) 15:44, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi Galneweinhaw. I'm trying to adapt your R code to produce a graph for the campaign-period polls in the now-underway Ontario election campaign. I think I'm very close to getting it right, but I'm getting the following error which I can't quite seem to decipher: Error in eval(e, x, parent.frame()) : object 'colour' not found. I did remove ("#") a few things from the code, namely the stuff relating to displaying the results of the last election, which I don't want to do for this graph; just a straightforward plot showing only the polls released during the campaign period. Your assistance would be appreciated. Is there some way I can share my code with you so you can take a look? Cheers, Undermedia ( talk) 15:01, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
