Defining an Assessment Scoring Function

Description

Score a package for the number of downloads in the past year regularized Convert the number of downloads x in the past year into a validation score [0,1]

1 - 150,000 / (x + 150,000)

Usage

## S3 method for class 'pkg_metric_downloads_1yr'
metric_score(x, ...)

Arguments

x	a pkg_metric_downloads_1yr packge metric object
...	additional arguments unused

Details

The scoring function is a simplification of the classic logistic curve

1 / (1 + exp(-k(x-x[0]))

with a log scale for the number of downloads x = log(x), sigmoid midpoint is 1000 downloads, ie. x[0] = log(1,000), and logistic growth rate of k = 0.5.

1 - 1 / (1 + exp(log(x)-log(1.5e5))) = 1 - 150,000 / (x + 150,000)

Value

numeric value between 0 (low) and 1 (high download volume) converting the number of downloads.

Examples

## Not run: metric_score(assess_downloads_1yr(pkg_ref("riskmetric")))
