In TalhoukLab/biostatUtil: Utility Functions Used in Biostatistics Projects

biostatUtil

The goal of biostatUtil is to provide utility functions for date formatting, survival analysis, confusion matrices, contingency tables, and data visualization.

Installation

You can install biostatUtil from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("TalhoukLab/biostatUtil")

Note that there are a few administrative tasks to perform to ensure the package can still be installed when the R version is updated.

1. Run remotes::install_deps() to install all dependencies (these are packages listed in the Imports field of DESCRIPTION)
2. Install remaining Bioconductor dependencies with BiocManager::install()
3. Run devtools::check() to see which packages to install from Suggests field of DESCRIPTION
4. Open Terminal and run R CMD javareconf to reconfigure Java paths and other configurations. Note that Java v1.8.0 is required for java dependencies to successfully load when biostatUtil is attached.
