Do you have a question?

You got stuck? Post your question as an issue on GitHub. While we cannot offer user support, we'll try to do our best to address it, as questions often lead to better documentation or the discovery of bugs.

Want to ask a question in private? Contact the package maintainer by email.

Propose an idea 💡

Have an idea for a new feature? Take a look at the issue list to see if it isn't included or suggested yet. If not, suggest your idea as an issue on GitHub or mail the maintener. While we can't promise to implement your idea, it helps to:

• Explain in detail how it would work.
• Keep the scope as narrow as possible.

See below if you want to contribute code for your idea as well.

Report a bug 🐛

Discovered a bug? That's annoying! Don't let others have the same experience and report it as an issue on GitHub so we can fix it. A good bug report makes it easier for us to do so, so please include:

• Your operating system name and version (e.g. Mac OS 10.13.6).
• Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.
• Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.

Improve the documentation 📖

Noticed a typo on the package? Think a function could use a better example? Good documentation makes all the difference, so your help to improve it is very welcome!

Function documentation

Functions are described as comments near their code and translated to documentation using roxygen2. If you want to improve a function description:

1. Go to R/ directory in the code repository.
2. Look for the file with the name of the function.
3. Propose a file change to update the function documentation in the roxygen comments (starting with #').
