An analysis of Pokémon GO created with R. OMG They’re so beautiful!!

“I see nice things here:

The cluster are determined by the type of pokemon.

The algorithm keep the chain evolution side by side. You can see charmander, charmeleon, charizard together.

Put steelix, onix and wailord (the most heavy pokémons) together.”

Hands according to composers

Idea explanation:

Chopin: mixer because he reminds me of one sometimes. Example. Scriabin: he has written a lot of pieces for the left hand alone and he injured the right hand. Rachmaninoff: He had really big hands. Really big. Liszt: he sometimes reaches notes at the other side of the piano. Ravel: he has delicate, water hands and very often the left and right hand play on top of each other. Beethoven: he is powerful and this is also a reference to the hammerklavier Satie: his touch is very gentle and it sounds like he is playing with gloves. Boulez: Just to give you an idea. Cage: the 'no hands' is a joke for 4'33'' and the objects on the keyboard are a reference to his prepared pianos. Feldman: most of his compositions use just a few notes. Mozart: Rolling pins because of all the scales. Schubert: A lot of his pieces have very articulated right hand passages that go back and forth like a wheel and really easy left hand ones. Bach: robot hands because he was so structured and calculating in his pieces. (Side note: amazing book) Debussy: really soft touch, just like feathers. Glass: Pendulum and metronome because of his style that led him to be very technical, a bit like Bach, but it's more complicated than that. Bartok: drum beaters because of the power of some of his compositions.

Teaching yourself about latent variable modeling using R is so much exhausting but exciting at the same time, especially when you're neither a programmer nor a statistician.

I need help from Pokémon GO players!! I'm doing a study on the game and will be very grateful if you can take a brief moment to answer this survey. Do feel free to forward it to other PG players. 

Thanks a ton in advance!

“Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth.” — Albert Camus

In secret we met --   In silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget,   Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee   After long years, How should I greet thee? --   With silence and tears.
