Jon,
Why don't you do some graph analysis on the entire hackage using the
metadata? Build a graph and analyse its statistical properties.

Hi, everyone!
I'm looking for a master thesis topic that is empirical in nature (like, statistics, hypothesis testing, etc.).
The work could involve analyzing either package metadata (Cabal information), code (AST), and/or data from some other source, possibly comparing similar data from some non-Haskell domain.
As an example, one idea that was suggested to me was to look at usage aggregation, or like, how much of a given package another package is actually using (which could be relevant in any orphan-instance discussion).
From an academic standpoint, it would be good to pick a metric that can be validated in some way.
Thank you!
