search for: popularity

is it possible to write a custom sort routine for ferret? I use ferret right now to index all my products. One of the variables in these product documents is the product popularity, where 1 = best selling production, 2 = 2nd best, etc.. Right now, I''m just sorting by the popularity column in my search results, although this doesn''t always provide "good" results, neither does just sorting by document relevance. I''d like some combination o...

...not popular (or because they are hardcore MP3 zealots), which results in a circle (little people use it because it's not popular, but it will not get popular because little people use it). Yet DivX 4.0 (which is only a marketing name, and has nothing to do with the "old" DivX), gains popularity day by day, even though it wasn't not used by anybody when it was first released. Is the only way for Vorbis to become popular to promote it as a tool for music piracy? Of course I understand none of the developers want Vorbis to become something like that. Comments? Flames? <p><p&g...

Make your models feel like they are in high school again. This plugin retrieves the most frequently occurring values for each column. It adds methods of the form most_popular_[pluralized_column_name]. Check out <http://shanesbrain.net/articles/2006/08/04/acts-as-most-popular-rails-plugin> for sample usage. The plugin is mostly just a group_by in disguise. It is probably overkill if you

Hi All, I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS, R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know wh...

Greetings, I've just put out the latest version of "The Popularity of Data Analysis Software" at http://r4stats.com/popularity. This update includes complete data for 2010, the addition of number of blogs for each software, more coverage of Statistica, and, where possible, measures regarding the implementations of the SAS Language: Carolina and the World Prog...

What''s the best way to handle views that show the top 10/most popular/ Recently updated/most commented type listing? Should I have a separate model that is populated with records from other models by a background job or should I need to use some sort of caching? Perhaps both?

Is there a recent survey of that Linux distro and version people are using for the Asterisk installations? I recall seeing a pie chart over a year ago (I think on a wiki but I can't find it again)....also hoping for something more current. I suspect RH5 and RH6 are most popular...but I'm looking for facts -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I would like to get some idea of which R-packages are popular, and what R is used for in general. Are there any statistics available on which R packages are downloaded often, or is there something like a package-survey? Something similar to http://popcon.debian.org/ maybe? Any tips are welcome! ----- Jeroen Ooms * Dept. of Methodology and Statistics * Utrecht University Visit

Hello all, I've developed a prototype package called PopCon (short for popularity contest), a package for tracking the popularity of R and its packages. I'd like this work to be similar in spirit to the Debian package popularity-contest: http://popcon.debian.org/. Once Popcon is loaded, it captures two kinds of information from the user and stores it into a cache: the n...

IIRC when LLVM came out a bunch of community-contributed parsers were available on your website. Essentially I want to read in a programming language, prune the AST until it contains only what I define as a "summary", then convert that AST to that of another language, before finally outputting [code-generating] a compilable/interpretable source [think boilerplate]. Would be good to

It sounds like the SMP kernel I provided for FreeBSD 5.3 was quite popular, so I've started building an SMP kernel for FreeBSD 5.4 as well, in addition to the usual GENERIC kernel. To take advantage of this on your FreeBSD 5.4 SMP system, run the following commands as root: # touch /boot/kernel/SMP # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install # echo 'bootfile="SMP"'

Hi, I know gstreamer is written in c Language. Is there popular multimedia framework written in c++ supported in centos? Thanks! B.R. Andrew

Hi all, ?I've had a project to upload customer codes and some data to?members inside a?webfarm, the upload work will be done almost daily for quite a while. Customer needs the upload status be confirmed everytime and data will be verified later easily when in need. ?Is there one or more popular tools available for this purposes? open source is preferred, but commercial ones are fine too as
