NobelDB®: Data Analysis

NobelDB® Data Analysis through R.

About R language:

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, …) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. It’s an integrated suite of software facilities for data manipulation, calculation and graphical display. It includes

• an effective data handling and storage facility,

• a suite of operators for calculations on arrays, in particular matrices,

• a large, coherent, integrated collection of intermediate tools for data analysis,

• graphical facilities for data analysis – plotting functions, and

• a well-developed, simple and effective programming language which includes conditionals, loops, user-defined recursive functions and input and output facilities.

The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity. That’s why, we have worked on R to do all the analysis of NobelDB.

NobelDB®-Data

Data of NobelDB® — A manually curated dedicated database of Nobel Laureates.

About:

It’s an interactive data system to get or interact with Nobel Prize and their Laureates. All the data provided in to JSON format — so, anyone can work easily with CLI (command-line interface) to filter or save the required one in .txt or .json format — further ready to use in any analysis.

How you can analyse the data, please get the Code or Report.

Thankfully, the Nobel Foundation & Nobelprize.org – is a registered trademark, and is produced, managed and maintained by Nobel Media, had created exactly the database of information for every Nobel Prize since 1901, including the Nobel Laureate’s biographies, Nobel Lectures, interviews, photos, articles, video clips, and press releases. Nobelprize.org provides comprehensive, first-hand information about the Nobel Prize and Nobel Laureates in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace starting in 1901, as well as the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel and the Economics Laureates starting in 1969. I would like to thanks, the ‘Nobel Foundation’ — had created exactly this dataset till 2016 of Nobel Prize Announcements.

Why, I have come to Nobel Foundation, because there wasn’t any other place that had the data as nicely structured and informative.

Again, the Nobel Foundation helped out by supplying a dataset with all of the Nobel Laureates from 1901.
