Changes (by karsten):

  * component:  Metrics Utilities => Analysis


Comment:

 Rewriting parts of George's Python-based censorship detector in R sounds
 useful if it helps researching alternative approaches.  Whenever you have
 code for that, I'll add it to the [https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-
 tasks.git/ metrics-tasks] repository.

 I'm changing the component to Analysis though.  The goal is still to
 compare detection algorithms and determine which one we want to deploy.
 Turning the algorithm(s) we like most into a tool is the next step and
 probably requires a new ticket.  And even then I'm not sure if this will
 be a stand-alone tool for users (which is what Metrics Utilities is for)
 or rather a web-based service, e.g., part of the Metrics Website.
