eda

The goal of eda is to provide data wrangling and summary functions to conduct a proper exploratory data analysis.

Installation

You can install the development version of eda from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("alexrod61/eda")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(eda)
count_classes(mtcars, cyl)
#> # A tibble: 3 × 2
#>   class count
#>   <dbl> <int>
#> 1     4    11
#> 2     6     7
#> 3     8    14

What is special about using README.Rmd instead of just README.md? You can include R chunks like so:

summary(cars)
#>      speed           dist       
#>  Min.   : 4.0   Min.   :  2.00  
#>  1st Qu.:12.0   1st Qu.: 26.00  
#>  Median :15.0   Median : 36.00  
#>  Mean   :15.4   Mean   : 42.98  
#>  3rd Qu.:19.0   3rd Qu.: 56.00  
#>  Max.   :25.0   Max.   :120.00

You’ll still need to render README.Rmd regularly, to keep README.md up-to-date. devtools::build_readme() is handy for this.

You can also embed plots, for example:

In that case, don’t forget to commit and push the resulting figure files, so they display on GitHub and CRAN.
