Is there any central, web-accessible location for the download statistics for all of the Bioconductor packages? I know each packages web-page has a link to a page with all of the download statistics, but was wondering if there was an easy way to get access to all of the statistics for given packages.
There is this page: http://bioconductor.org/packages/stats/ All packages are listed here with the number of downloads for each in the last 12 months. One thing to bear in mind is that the stats we compile are only from downloads on bioconductor.org; we don't have access to the web server logs of other mirrors. Dan
The reason is alt-metrics. I thought it would be cool to have a little R
package that takes a supplied Bioconductor package name, and compares its
download statistics to the download statistics for all the other
Bioconductor packages, essentially providing a percentile ranking.
