Miscellaneous R helper functions

Installation

Contents

This package currently functions as a catch-all package for various data reading/tidying/manipulation helpers. As best as possible, all functions are built on tidyverse code and should work with the pipe %>%. Functions currently supported include:

• read_delim_multi(files, ...): Quickly read in multiple delimited files that contain similar data into one long dataframe. For example, if you have behavioral experiment data from multiple subjects who have completed the same task, read all their data into R at once using these functions.
  • read_csv_multi() wraps readr::read_csv()
  • read_tsv_multi() wraps readr::read_tsv()
  • read_delim_multi() wraps readr::read_delim() for your nonspecific delimited needs
• super_spread(): A wrapper around tidyr::spread() that allows you to simultaneously spread multiple columns of values that correspond to the same key column.
• super_gather(): A wrapper around tidyr::gather() that allows you to simultaneously gather multiple groups of columns that will correspond to the same key column.
• Tidyverse-safe row sums & row means that take column names as arguments, not a matrix
  • tidy_row_sums() & tidy_row_means() work inside of mutate()
  • tidyselect_row_sums() & tidyselect_row_means() work on their own in %>%-chains, and accept tidyselect helpers to specify columns
