Description

I'm about to do a master's thesis in Software Engineering. I would like to apply (Bayesian) statistics and, ideally, conduct some kind of experiment. I posted [a message on Haskell-Cafe](https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2024-October/136878.html) about it yesterday. I have also asked the Hackage administrator to see if I could have access to the Hackage metadata.

I was wondering if you have any suggestions for statistical questions that I could look into that would be of interest from a PVP point of view, for example some kind of analysis related to dependencies or breakages.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the linked Haskell-Cafe message and the proposed access to Hackage metadata. Define a statistical question about PVP dependencies or breakages and specify an experiment or analysis that could answer it; done means a clearly scoped thesis direction.
