Stack Exchange tag correlations

[mholt]

How do I correlate questions tagged "go"?

Should be good now: http://clipperhouse.github.io/stack-correlation/#stackoverfl... (may need to clear cache)

FWIW, doesn't seem to allow me to look at the tag 'r'.

While I won't argue that R is an awful name for a programming language, it's a legitimate tag: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/r

Opened a GitHub issue: https://github.com/clipperhouse/stack-correlation/issues/1

Interesting. What about including a second column showing the back correlation? An example: 'WPF' appears 6% of the time for 'C#' questions, while 46% of 'WPF' questions include the 'C#' tag. Would be interesting use this to identify ontological hierarchy trends.

http://clipperhouse.github.io/stack-correlation/#stackoverfl... is an interesting result to me at least.

If you're also interested in the correlation between Twitter hashtags, we show those on http://hashtagify.me - in a visual way; a table is coming soon.

Huh, C++ apparently not correlated much with anything.

very nice! might want to remove api_key from source though :)

Thanks! The key is not private, it‘s simply a ‘favor’ to the API to identify where the requests are coming from. The app gets a higher rate limit in exchange for registering.
