We give an example of using Avro with Java for simple local serialization and discuss some potential pitfalls. We consider a trivial example of serializing to disk social graph dataset mentioned in previous post.

Depending on the assumptions on the structure of underlying data, a number of methods exist that achieve optimality of estimation. We give a overview of several methods and explain their practical usage in R. In doing so, we make use of the social graph data described in recent post.
