For each package we can obtain the packages that it depends, imports, suggests, etc. By iterating this procedure over a number of packages, we can build, visualise, and analyse the dependency network, enabling us to have a bird's-eye view of the CRAN ecosystem. One aspect of interest is the number of reverse dependencies of the packages, or equivalently the in-degree distribution of the dependency network. This can be fitted by the power law and/or an extreme value mixture distribution , of which functions are provided. authors: - family-names: Lee given-names: Clement email: clement.lee.tm@outlook.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1785-8671 repository: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=crandep repository-code: https://github.com/clement-lee/crandep url: https://github.com/clement-lee/crandep date-released: '2024-08-18' contact: - family-names: Lee given-names: Clement email: clement.lee.tm@outlook.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1785-8671
