Hello All, Eric Langley here with my first post to this list. I am looking to determine if R is suitable for a development project I am working on and if so possibly finding someone proficient in R that would be interested in doing the coding.
Is there monetary reward involved? Or are you just counting
on people's good nature?
I would like to preface my inquiry that while I am not a programmer I can communicate in a dialog my objectives. An array of rank ordered data looks like this: Item-Rank First Second Third Fourth Totals Item1 6 8 0 0 14 Item2 7 5 2 0 14 Item3 1 1 11 1 14 Item4 0 0 1 13 14 Totals 14 14 14 14 The required output of R will be two fold; 1, a numerical score for each of the Items (1-4) from highest to lowest and lowest to highest on a scale of 0-99 that is statistically accurate. For this example the scores would be Item1 highest number down to Item4 with the lowest number. In reverse Item4 would be the highest number down to Item1 the lowest number. For the Highest like this; Item1=94, Item2=88, Item3=48, Item4=2 (just guessing here on the scores...:) 2, a graphical output of the data based on the scores in three special graphs with a middle line at '0' and increasing numbers to the left AND right. The graphs plot the Highest ranked Items, the Lowest Ranked items and a combination of the two. Sample graphs are here: http://community.abeo.us/sample-graphs/ Looking forward to hearing if R will be able to accomplish this.
This reminds me of
fortune("driveway")
from the "fortunes" package.
