Rfuncs Project
Using Rfuncs (is easy!)
Using Rfuncs is easy. Rfuncs examples have greater depth than what you typically see in R functions obtained from CRAN. Running them yourself will not only teach you about the function, I hope they will challenge your thinking about statistical science and motivate you to be more innovative and modern.
​
Using RStudio, the steps are:
-
Open an Rfunc file you have downloaded. For example, AgeDays() was created to teach how to use Rfuncs.
-
Click "Source" in the upper right corner of RStudio. Everything is now loaded into R's brain.
-
Search for "RunExamples <- FALSE" to get to the examples, which did not run when you sourced the file.
-
Read the comments, and when you get to statements you want to run yourself, select them, and hit "Run". The output appears in RStudio's Console pane.
​
This is demonstrated in this (deliberately slow) 86-second video.
