In rethinkpriorities/rp-r-package: Rethink Priority's R Package

rethinkpriorities R package

This is the rethinkpriorities R package. The goal of this package is to collect R functions that are likely to be re-used across projects from Rethink Priorities. As such, this package is for internal use only.

This repo also includes functions the rethinkpriorities::book style; see hosted example and 'how-to'

Installation

Currently there are no plans to submit this package to CRAN, so the package can be installed from this GitHub repository, using the following code:

devtools::install_github("rethinkpriorities/rp-r-package")

After installing the package, you can load the package using library(rethinkpriorities).

Note that the name of the R package is different from the name of the GitHub repository.

Tips on adding functions to this package (and adjusting the style)

Notes on the functions added

DR: I went through my functions.R file and added nearly all the functions actually used in EA Survey work (plus a very few more that I thought were worth highlighting).

Note that some of these functions/R files...:

• are just slight tweaks on existing functions, setting options or whatever

• are only used in the ML tidymodels work

• some .R files have multiple exported functions, not sure I did this right

• some are not very 'general use', as they refer to specific existing relative folder paths, or require other packages installed (which I've tried to document, but not always)

Other relevant packages/repos

DR:

• I started an additional ’noodling functions’ package. Those are functions that are just helpful when dynamically working in R; they are mainly not for producing output.

• As noted above, most of these functions were used in ea data work. However, some of these might be improved or replaced
