Capturing Ellipsis / Three Dots within a Function: How to Handle Additional Arguments in R
Capturing Ellipsis / Three Dots within a Function; Ignoring Explicitly Mentioned Arguments When working with functions in R, it’s common to want to collect the names of additional arguments that are passed to the function without explicitly specifying their names. This can be achieved by using the ellipsis operator (...) and manipulating it inside the function.
In this article, we’ll explore how to capture the names of these additional arguments, excluding those that are explicitly mentioned in the function’s parameter list.
Subclassing UISearchDisplayController For Abstraction in iOS Development
Subclassing UISearchDisplayController For Abstraction Introduction In iOS development, UISearchDisplayController is a powerful tool that allows you to integrate search functionality into your apps. However, as our user base and app complexity grow, it’s essential to consider code reuse and abstraction. In this post, we’ll explore how to subclass UISearchDisplayController to create an abstract layer that can be reused across multiple view controllers.
Background For those unfamiliar with iOS development, a UIViewController is the foundation of most views in an iPhone app.
Understanding UITableView in Xcode: Solving Common Issues with Table View Integration

SQL One-to-Many Relationships: Retrieving Specific Rows from Related Tables Using SQL
SQL One-to-Many Relationships and Retrieving Specific Rows from a Related Table Introduction In relational databases, one-to-many relationships between tables are common. A one-to-many relationship occurs when one row in a table (the “parent” or “one”) is associated with multiple rows in another table (the “child” or “many”). In this blog post, we will explore how to work with one-to-many relationships and retrieve specific rows from the related table using SQL.
Understanding General Linear Models (GLMs) and Their Statistical Significance: A Guide to ANOVA Output Interpretation and Reporting
Understanding General Linear Models (GLMs) and Their Statistical Significance Introduction to GLMs General Linear Models (GLMs) are a class of statistical models that extend the traditional linear regression model by allowing for generalized linear relationships between the dependent variable(s) and one or more predictor variables. GLMs are widely used in various fields, including medicine, engineering, economics, and social sciences.
In this article, we will focus on testing General Linear Models (GLMs) using anova output interpretation.
