DIY R Package Online Workshop
October 12, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Do you have a few custom functions on heavy rotation? Perhaps you have a piece of code that you regularly share with colleagues? Maybe you’ve developed a new statistical model and want to share it with the world? Why not put it all in an R package?! This interactive workshop will equip you with the basic skills to create an R package of your own! We will walk through the package building process and apply the same workflow to your own function. We will learn about testing and continuous integration and implement them using Github Actions.
Participants will need to bring along one function they would like to put in a package.
Prior to the workshop participants will need to have
- a Github account;
- the most recent version of R and RStudio installed;
- the following package(s) and their dependencies installed: devtools, testthat, knitr.
