Compute $\Gamma(2.7)$ All I know of the Gamma function is $$\Gamma(\alpha) = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty}x^{\alpha - 1}e^{-x}\text{ d}x$$ and the recursive formula $$\Gamma(\alpha) = (\alpha-1)\Gamma(\alpha - 1)\text{.}$$ A friend asked me to try to find $\Gamma(2.7)$. I assume this involves complex analysis, which I have absolutely no background on (except for the basic Euler formula). Using Wolfram, I found that  $$\Gamma(2.7) = e^{0.434821}$$ which suggests to me perhaps writing out $e^{-x}$ as a Taylor series: $$\Gamma(\alpha) = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty}x^{\alpha - 1}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{\infty}\dfrac{(-x)^{i}}{i!}\text{ d}x$$ but alas, this doesn't look helpful.  How does one derive that $\Gamma(2.7) = e^{0.434821}$? R's randomForest can not handle more than 32 levels. What is workaround? R's randomForest package can not handle factor with more than 32 levels. When it is given more than 32 levels, it emits an error message:     Can not handle categorical predictors with more than 32 categories.   But the data I have has several factors. Some of them have 1000+ levels and some of them have 100+. It even has 'state' of united states which is 52.   So, here's my question.   Why is there such limitation? randomForest refuse to run even for the simple case.  &gt; d &lt;- data.frame(x=factor(1:50), y=1:50) &gt; randomForest(y ~ x, data=d)   Error in randomForest.default(m, y, ...) :    Can not handle categorical predictors with more than 32 categories.   If it is simply due to memory limitation, how can scikit learn's randomForeestRegressor run with more than 32 levels? What is the best way to handle this problem? Suppose that I have X1, X2, ..., X50 independent variables and Y is dependent variable. And suppose that X1, X2 and X3 has more than 32 levels. What should I do?  What I'm thinking of is running clustering algorithm for each of X1, X2 and X3 where distance is defined as difference in Y. I'll run three clusterings as there are three problematic variables. And in each clustering, I wish I can find similar levels. And I'll merge them.  How does this sound? Coding for an ordered covariate I am performing ordinal regression, I have 5 response categories and several predictors both continuous and categorical. I would like to add a predictor which is categorical but ordered (1, 2, 3, 4). I don't think it would be appropriate to apply the usual dummy coding for unordered categorical predictors, but when I searched for how to code this I did not find much information.  In  "linear coding" or "assuming linearity of the predictor effect" is mentioned, but without further details.  Does it mean I just use my ordered values as they are, i.e. use them as a continuous variable? Bibtex true unsort How to make a water vortex read only access to all files in a specific sub-folder I have got a specific folder located in "/home/.../reboot/".  I have a series of users that require read-only access to the ever changing files within.  My problem is that the same users are not authorized to view any of the parent directory files.  Right now, the only thing I have in place is that their starting folder is at "/home/.../reboot/" by changing the etc/passwd file; and I need to block all access to other folders.  How could I only give them access to this directory? How are House points tabulated/tracked? My question is how I can intergrate Salesforce with different FTP servers in real time. I have read some articles about it, but to be absolutely sure I thought it would be a good idea to post a question here.  I want to be able to send and receive data from Salesforce as a csv file to a ftp server. How I'm thinking about doing this is listed below.  Send the data:  Create a apex class which query the necessary data in Salesforce and create a csv file. I guess this is trivial? Then send the file to a web service created in Salesforce, just by calling it in the apex code. Create a web service in Salesforce which receives the data from the apex code. This web service should in some way send the data to the appropriate ftp server. I guess I can simply modify some of the code provided by Salesforce to make this work? The file is sent. Receive the data  This one is a bit trickier. I guess I have to pull the data from the FTP server by using my web service, which then send the file collected to the appropriate apex class. Or, the FTP server could send the data to the SFDC web service, I don't know if this is possible? The web services on the other side that sends the data to the ftp server, could send it directly to the SFDC web service, which then again forward it to the apex class. I guess the web service will use the remote site url to connect to the SFDC web service? I would like to learn how to use it so I can start to use the terminal more.

Possible Duplicate:          I got the following sentence from the book I'm reading:     You can take a database-first approach   by first creating a SQL Server   database schema.   From what I learned, I think it should be "an SQL Server database schema", not "a SQL Server database schema". So which one is correct? MacVim -- how to make Ctrl+A go to beginning of line, Ctrl+E to the end of the line I'm trying to switch to MacVim as my main editor, and I'm liking it so far, except for one issue:  I got really used to the Mac shortcuts control-A to go to the beginning of a line, and control-E to go to the end of a line.  However, these two don't work in MacVim (control-A does something weird -- it seems to increase the last number in a line by 1 or something, and control-E seems to scroll down the screen by one line).  Any way to make these two shortcuts go to the beginning of a line / end of a line respectively instead? How can I disown a running process and associate it to a new screen shell? I have a running program on a SSH shell. I want to pause it and be able to unpause its execution when I come back.  One way I thought of doing that was to transfer its ownership to a screen shell, thus keeping it running in there.  Is there a different way to proceed?

I know this is not specifically a photography issue but since many of us with prosumer/professional-level DLSRs use Compact Flash cards, it is bound to happen to others as well.  I have a Sandisk 16GB Ultra card that occasionally had the camera reporting inability to access the card. I had to reinsert the card to continue using it. I was able to read the card and transfer the photo files to my computer drive. Today, the same thing happened again, just that nearing the capacity of the card, it failed one last time and the camera was subsequently unable to read it anymore. Despite reinsertion.  My other CF cards never once exhibited this problem, so it's pretty much isolated to this card.  The card is similarly unrecognisable on my computer CF card reader. I think the filesystem is toast, but I suspect the photo files are still intact. I would like to find ways where I can inspect the raw binary data in the card and hopefully recover the photos? What happens when I run the command cat /proc/cpuinfo? What happens when I write cat /proc/cpuinfo. Is that a named pipe (or something else) to the OS which reads the CPU info on the fly and generate that text each time I call it? Show intersection of two algebras are not a $\sigma$-algebra I have the following question:    $\textbf{Question}:$ Let $\mathcal{F}_1$ and $\mathcal{F}_2$ be two algebras. Is $\mathcal{F}_1 \cap \mathcal{F}_2$ a $\sigma$-algebra?  I believe the answer is no. I know the definition of an algebra and the definition of $\sigma$-algebra.    I'm assuming I need to show that the intersection of the finite unions of each algebra is finite, but then I get stuck trying to work out how to show it is not a $\sigma$-algebra.  All help is appreciated.  Many thanks, John How to get Beamer Math to look like Article Math How to install the latest stable version of Chromium? Is there an easier way to install Chromium than what is described ?  Furthermore, is there an easier way to stay up to date with current Chromium releases rather than having to re-build Chromium each release? (a script which automatically grabs and installs the latest build possibly?).  Related: Let $a,b,c$ be $3$ distinct integers, and let $P$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients.Show that in this case the conditions $$P(a)=b,P(b)=c,P(c)=a$$ cannot be satisfied simultaneously.  Any hint would be appreciated.
