Nifty graph: a 3d imitation with R


A graph by Matt Asher showing probability function in a data art fashion.

3d Section 3d: warning

This graph comes from the probability and statistics blog of Matt Asher Thanks for this contribution ! 

moxbuller = function(n) {   
    u = runif(n)   
    v = runif(n)   
    x = cos(2*pi*u)*sqrt(-2*log(v))  
    y = sin(2*pi*v)*sqrt(-2*log(u))
    r = list(x=x, y=y)
    return(r) 
}
r = moxbuller(50000) 
par(bg="black") 
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0)) 
plot(r$x,r$y, pch=".", col="blue", cex=1.2)
