[R] A competition to create a recommendation engine for R packages
Hello everyone. There is a new competition, outlined on the blog dataists<http://www.dataists.com/2010/10/using-data-tools-to-find-data-tools-the-yo-dawg-of-data-hacking/>, inviting us to analyse statistics of the use of R packages (collected from 52 R users), to create a R-package suggestion engine for ourselves. Since I noticed several bloggers already wrote about it (as I have detailed here<http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/10/a-competition-to-recommend-relevant-r-packages-and-the-future-of-r/>), I thought it to be fitting to also notified the members of the R help mailing list as well.

[R] A competition to create a recommendation engine for R packages
Follow-up. Started to look at this. First step is to make a graph showing dependencies between R packages(CRAN, Bioconductor,Omegahat). As a curiosum, this graph has diameter 20:> require(igraph) > diameter(CRANgraph)[1] 20> dia <- get.diameter(CRANgraph) > dia[1] 221 1866 2344 2192 330 1615 994 2603 2477 1419 1497 2920 2907 3449 2812 [16] 2630 2620 2690 2772 2789 1518> packFrame[dia+1,1][1] "GGMselect" "network" "sna" "rgl" [5] "MASS" "lattice" "chron" "zoo" [9] "tis" "ggplot2" "hexbin" "marray" [13] "limma" "org.Hs.eg.db" "annotate" "Biostrings" [17] "BSgenome" "GenomicRanges" "Rsamtools" "ShortRead" [21] "hwriter">Here is used an inclusive definition of link, using all the fields Depends,Suggests,Imports,LinkingTo, Enhances.
