Clojure and The UFC: Part 1
- nextos 12y agoI've always found it a bit depressing that Lisp-Stat died, and Incanter became stagnant. Ross Ihaka, one of R's creators recognised a Lisp-based solution is the way to go. Interestingly, even R is borrowing some ideas from Scheme. https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~ihaka/downloads/Compstat-2008.pdf https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~ihaka/downloads/Compstat-20...
- phren0logy 12y agoI have similar laments, but am hoping Julia will carry this torch.
- ricny046 12y agoCool. Where can I download the json data for UFC fighters?
- atom-morgan 12y agoI'm wondering the same. Unfortunately, all I've been able to find is FightMetric which asks to contact them for a quote: http://www.fightmetric.com/data http://www.fightmetric.com/data
- coding4all 12y agoFor legal purposes I don't think I can give out the data, but you can find/write applications that parse public information related to the UFC. You may or may not beable to request JSON data via the UFC website. You may or may not beable to call the same API as fightmetric.com. You may or may not beable to save the data legally sent to your machine using a modified request.

- afandian 12y agoSaved you a search (I'd never heard of UFC): "Ultimate Fighting Championship". http://www.ufc.com http://www.ufc.com
- lp251 12y agoThis is great. Does FightMetric include data on on disclosed fighter pay? I'd love to see a basic statistical analysis of average yearly pay.
