Created the CTVsuggest and CTVsuggestTrain R Packages.
- The CTVsuggest R package outputs suggestions for packages to be added to CRAN Task Views.
- The CTVsuggestTrain R package carries out the model building process.
These R packages are based on follow up work of my 4th year university dissertation.
The functionality of the CTVsuggest package was announced by Achim Zeileis to the CRAN Task View maintainers, on the 22nd of March 2023.
Feedback from Task View Maintainers
Michael Dewey, maintainer of the MetaAnalysis Task View, wrote:
“Just for your info of the top twenty for MetaAnalysis five were definitely relevant and all occurred in the top ten. At least three of these have been in the CTV at some point but fallen off CRAN and then come back. It also found two more which I think are of peripheral relevance. I will have a think about them.”
These two commits were made: Commit 1 and Commit 2 afte the package announcement.
Bill Denney, maintainer of the Pharmacokinetics Task View, wrote:
“Thanks for the package. I just updated the Pharmacokinetics CTV using it, and it provided a list of several more packages that I was not aware of.”
