Astronomy research

1

Can we have a few dataset under this project, which are from astronomy…
Lot of Astronomy datasets are often in public domain. They could be synced or just syndicated from here.
And there is a growing branch called Astrostatistics which can be perfomed with the tools here, so that it is available or demonstrated to all as reproducible research.
One interesting dataset would be that of exoplanets.
Any suggestions?

I released the RStars package about a month ago which gives access to the Digital Universe data set. Right now it includes stars, exoplanets, and galaxies. If you can think of anything that should be added let me know and maybe we can work on something together. I know that I need to go though and redo some of the CURL stuff but I’ve been super busy with grad apps and work.

+1 for rstars, nice work on that @kylehamilton

@abhaymk Sorry about the error message. Curious, why did you install roxygen from Github? It should be available on CRAN via install.packages("roxygen2") http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/roxygen2/index.html - looks like there’s a small problem in RStars - I’ll take a look at that

Before I submitted RStars to rOpenSci I did submit it to CRAN (not sure if that was the correct way to do it I’m still figuring everything out). http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RStars/index.html

after defaults command mentioned in above link, it worked. RStars
installed. kudos to @kylehamilton for such a package, will soon come back
with more suggestions after usage. cheers.
btw roxygen I installed only to check my devtools github command. :slight_smile:

@abhaymk

Can you name some specific data sources and their URLs that you would be interested in using so we can dig into those deeper?
