think about core packages #28

Closed beanumber closed 2 years ago

beanumber commented 2 years ago

For the "core" packages I suggest to simply go with some of the most substantial packages for some of the more prominent sports.

Investigate most popular packages and consider putting them in the core.

I just took a quick look at this. (R script)

The top 10 in terms of cumulative downloads are

(teamcolors' rank is 20.)

Nice work! It's a pretty significant drop-off after the first two.

If you look since January 1st, 2020, you get:

The packages on both lists are Lahman, BradleyTerry2, pitchRx, BAwiR, SportsAnalytics. Stick with those?

qntkhvn commented 2 years ago

Sure. I have specified priority = "core" for those packages. I did not include SportsAnalytics since the package looks incomplete and it was last updated in 2013. I also included nflfastR, given its recent popularity.

tanho63 commented 2 years ago

commenting on nflfastR as a maintainer I think most people should use nflreadr, which provides access to the "finished product" of nflfastR modelling

qntkhvn commented 2 years ago

I added nflverse, which consists of both nflfastR and nflreadr, as a core pkg. See #31.

beanumber commented 2 years ago

Thanks @qntkhvn .

I'm thinking that we might want to add baseballr to the list of core packages. I know it's new to CRAN, but I think a lot of people use this already.

qntkhvn commented 2 years ago

Sure. I've added baseballr to the core list.
