Hi, I'm a PhD student in software engineering and I've used R for prototyping/testing algorithms and methods related to machine learning/data complexity/statistics. I use Python and C (for hardware related stuff). My favorite obscure package is ECoL.
Interesting! I've never seen something that tried to quantify the data complexity in quite that way before, but it looks cool!
Well I needed a way to measure changes in separability in high dimensional spaces (besides most classifier performance bc that has too much variance and is not sensitive enough) and I thought this was actually kind of a solved problem but nope. So I went down the data complexity rabbit hole
