Building on the last post: I just put together a short slideshow explaining how to use R to create Google Motion Charts with World Bank data. It uses the packages googleVis and WDI. It mostly builds on the example from Mage's Blog post. I just simplified it with the WDI package (and used national finance related variables).
Update 2 February 2014: A new version of simPH (Version 1.0) will soon be available for download from CRAN. It allows you to plot using points, ribbons, and (new) lines. See the updated package description paper for examples. Note that the ribbons argument will no longer work as in the examples below. Please use type = 'ribbons' (or 'points' or 'lines' ). Effectively showing estimates and uncertainty from Cox Proportional Hazard (PH) models , especially for interactive and non-linear effects, can be challenging with currently available software. So, researchers often just simply display a results table. These are pretty useless for Cox PH models. It is difficult to decipher a simple linear variable’s estimated effect and basically impossible to understand time interactions, interactions between variables, and nonlinear effects without the reader further calculating quantities of interest for a variety of fitted values. So, I’ve been putting together th

Thanks for pointing out the deck.js library. This seems to be a good solution to present results using the googleVis library. I will use your idea on my blog as well.

I got to this slideshow from the `slidify` website. I'm glad you're finding the WDI package useful!
A quick style thing: WDI will merge a bunch of indicators for you if you just feed it a vector of indicator strings. For example,
dat <- WDI(indicator=c("DT.DOD.DPNG.CD",""DT.DOD.DECT.GN.ZS"))
head(dat)
Best,

PS: It appears we know some of the same people: Cassie G. and Bill C.
Thanks for pointing to a solution for the unnecessary verbiage.
Also, thanks for the WDI package, as a heavy user of World Bank data it is definitely helpful.
P.S. Are you going to be at APSA presenting your and Bill's fed paper?
