R-modules

Collection of modules for use in R.

These modules are built using and require the box package in R. Viewing the module documentations additionally require the roxygen2 package.

For a demonstration of some of the funcionality, see demo.R.

Warnings

This code is very much a work in progress, and is intended for personal use!! As such, it has not been tested on every OS or for every use case. I welcome feedback and improvements, but if you are interested in using it the safest way is to use it as inspiration for your own, locally developed and maintained code.

Contents

• The outputHelpers directory contains modules that provide helper functions to creating tables and figures.
  • msout.R: Helper functions for creating regression tables with modelsummary().
• The regHelpers directory contains modules that provide helper functions to estimating econometric models. These include wrapper functions for iterating over models.
  • reghelp.R: Helper functions for estimating regressions. For example, includes a helper for feols::feols() that creates formulas from strings that facilitates iterating over outome variables.

Use

To use a module in an R script, you must first set the box search path with options(box.path = 'boxdirectory'). Then, load the module with box::use(modulesubpath). To view the documentation for a function contained in a module, use box::help(modulename$functionname).

Example

#install.packages("box")
#install.packages("roxygen2")

options(box.path = '/users/hackettl/documents/github/r-modules/')
box::use(outputHelpers/msout)

box::help(msout$add_rows)
