Overview

About

Maintained by Praveen D ChougaleCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

A comprehensive toolkit for mining, analyzing, and visualizing scientific literature in sport science domains. Provides functions for retrieving abstracts from 'Scopus', preprocessing text data, performing advanced topic modeling using Latent Dirichlet Allocation ('LDA'), Structural Topic Models ('STM'), and Correlated Topic Models ('CTM'), and creating publication-ready visualizations including keyword co-occurrence networks and topic trends. For methodological details see Blei et al. (2003) doi:10.1162/jmlr.2003.3.4-5.993 for 'LDA', Roberts et al. (2014) doi:10.1111/ajps.12103 for 'STM', and Blei and Lafferty (2007) doi:10.1214/07-AOAS114 for 'CTM'.

CRAN Compliance

All API calls wrapped in tryCatch() for graceful error handling
Global variables properly declared using .data pronoun from rlang
Message/warning functions used instead of cat() or print()
Comprehensive test suite with offline-safe mocks via httptest
Zero errors, warnings, or notes in R CMD check --as-cran

Documentation

Complete roxygen2 documentation for all exported functions
"Getting Started" vignette with end-to-end workflow example
README with quick start guide and advanced usage examples

Testing

30+ unit tests covering all major functions
Edge case handling (empty data, missing columns, invalid parameters)
Mock API responses for offline testing
Tests marked with skip_on_cran() for computationally expensive operations

---

**Note**: This is the initial release. Future versions will include additional topic modeling algorithms, enhanced network analysis features, and extended visualization options.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("SportMiner", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("praveenmaths89/SportMiner")

Development version from praveenmaths89/SportMiner. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-sportminer

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-SportMiner

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
