Heading for Chile

I bought the tickets! Back to my old love... the Skew-normal for the IV skew workshop in Santiago!

Skew normal and Baysian nonparametrics... a sparkling union! I get ready to receive the weirdest questions from the boss...

E parafrasando Enrico IV "Santiago val bene una skew".

In R, for Monjed

Monjed, what are you saying?

Please stop using Windows! ;-)

In R

I am sure all of you know this, but I want to check:
sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) is not 2 !!!!
Isn't strange ??
If this could happen in R, one may should pay attention (How much ??)
One more is : round(2.55,1) is 2.5 BUT round(2.5535,3) is 2.554 !!!
Regards

First News from Vienna

Dear Friends,

My visit to Milan on 28th of February was a very good experience for me, because the transportations here are very similar to Milan, for me it is complicated, I did not know how to realize the directions, once I took a tram on the opposite direction.

The department here is very beautiful, ... Mensa is not so good, there are only two meals every day, I mean there are no too much options as in Padova.

The life is very expensive, the transportation cost 50 Euro for each month. I did not try Vino up to now, so I do not know its price,...

I have a single room (it was double but I changed it due to some problems). My house exactly on the Danube River.

Soon I will post some pictures from the city center and from BOKU.

Best Regards
