We have written a post, quite some time ago, about an R Stemmatology Package1, and started its development (it is available on Github2). Now, we come back to this long overdue subject, to draft a roadmap for future developments.
NB: this is a working post, that will evolve in the course of development of this package.
Main tasks
1. Documentation
- Document all the existing functions, datasets (necessary for 2);
- Document new functions when they are added.
2. R packaging
- Finish documentation;
- Other packaging tasks?
3. Implementation of new exploratory methods / methods to detect contamination
- Finish implementation of methods presented in Camps 2013a et 2013b3;
- Implement cardiograms from Wattel et Van Mulken 1996, Den Hollander 2004 4;
- find and implement new methods.
4. Implementation of new tree building algorithms
- Implementation of tree building algorithms, different from the PCC method5, proposed by other researchers;
5. Implementation of algorithms for theoretical stemmatology
- Implement a function for bifidity calculations.
