I recently published my first R package to The Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN). It was very exciting and also quite easy. Let me walk you through my process. First a description of my brand new package: badgecreatr, then a description of steps to take for submission. Package description When you go around github looking at projects you often see...
Introducing Badgecreatr, a package to create and place badges in your readme.Rmd file on Github. Badgecreatr will create the following badges (aka shields): Installation Install the package with install.packages("badgecreatr") How do you use badgecreatr? Badgecreatr has one main function: badgeplacer(). The most simple command is: badgecreatr::badgeplacer( githubaccount = "yourgithubname",githubrepo = "yourpackagename", branch = "master") If your project is in its...

THIS POST IS NO LONGER ENTIRELY RELEVANT. DPLYR 0.7 HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT (AND SLIGHTLY MORE INTUITIVE) WAY OF WORKING WITH NON-STANDARD EVALUATION. I love the dplyr package with all of its functions, however if you use normal dplyr in functions in your package r-cmd-check will give you a warning: R CMD check NOTE: No visible binding for global variable...
I love the dplyr package with all of its functions, however if you use normal dplyr in functions in your package r-cmd-check will give you a warning: R CMD check NOTE: No visible binding for global variable NAME OF YOUR VARIABLE 1. The functions do work, and everything is normal, however if you submit your package to CRAN, such...
I was recently at a R users meetup where Hadley Wickham talked about data wrangling. He showed some interesting stuff! Did you know that you can put a data frame into a data frame? You can make a list of data frames and add that list to your data frame. Very cool, and more useful then I thought,...

This is the second part of working with ggplot. We will combine the packages dplyr and ggplot to improve our workflow. When you make a visualisation you often experiment with different versions of your plot. Our workflow will be dynamic, in stead of saving every version of the plot you created, we will recreate the plot untill it...
Turning your dataset into a package is very useful for reproducable research. This tutorial is for you, even if you’ve never created a package in r. Why would you turn your dataset into a package? very easy to share easy to load (library(name) is easier then load("path/to/file") or data
In this post we will start with a build-in dataset and some basic ggplot graphics. In the next post we will combine dplyr and ggplot to do awesome stuff with the Dutch University student counts from the previous lessons. We will work with the build-in dataset mtcars. There are many datasets in r library(help = "datasets") but in many examples online...
