rPref 1.0 – Computing Pareto Optima and Database Preferences

[social4i size=”large” align=”float-right”] This is a re-post from the R packages mailing list Dear R users, the first 1.0 version of the rPref package is now on CRAN. rPref allows to select the Pareto-optimal tuples from a data set, also called Skylines in the database community. For example, optimal tuples from mtcars according to “high(mpg) * high(hp)” (where “*” is the Pareto operator) are those cars, for which no other dominating car exists. There, a car dominates another car if its horsepower or miles-per-gallon value is strictly better while the other value is better or equal. See http://p-roocks.de/rpref/index.php?section=examples for more examples. The changes of this version include: – A new function get_btg_dot to generate Better-Than-Graphs induced by the preference using Graphviz. – Fixed compatibility issues with new versions of dplyr and testthat. Comments and contributions are very welcome via github: https://github.com/patrickroocks/rpref Best regards, Patrick Roocks
