Overview

About

Maintained by Praveen D ChougaleFirst published 2026-01-171 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

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'.

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.

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
