kirkegaard

This is my personal R package. The primary purpose of this package is to be a transportable collection of code that I often use. As such, it may change without much warning and break your code. Generally, it doesn't because this would break my code too! :) When it does, I usually leave a placeholder function behind so that one knows what the new function name is.

There are functions for areas including:

• df_: Common operations on data.frames, including merging data.frames with overlapping data, standardizing, adding missing data, residualizing and class conversion. Examples.
• MAT_: Elementary matrix operations such as getting a half and restoring a symmetrical matrix from a half.
• fa_: Factor analysis, including new methods for checking for method variance, finding odd cases, using Jensen's method and plotting loadings.
• GG_: Convenience functions for plotting with ggplot2. Examples.
• pu_: A function that deals with names of political units by converting to and from standardized abbreviations. Examples.
• Various other functions that I often use.

Some old and deprecated spatial data functions were split off to spatialstatstools package (which is not updated). The newer ones are much faster.

Installing from scratch

for whatever reason, it is sometimes hard to get it to install the dependencies automatically so here's a small call to manually install them. This installs all dependencies, including those rarely used.

#CRAN packages
#determine which packages we don't have but need
pkgs_we_need = c("tidyverse", "assertthat", "plyr", "psych", "gtools", "polycor", "weights", "devtools", "VIM", "lsr", "compute.es", "Hmisc", "stringdist", "glmnet", "metafor", "binom", "GPArotation", "ggrepel", "qgam", "caTools", "furrr", "terra", "rms", "missForest", "psychTools")
install.packages(setdiff(pkgs_we_need, installed.packages()[, 1]))

#finally
devtools::install_github("deleetdk/kirkegaard")
