What’s New in R: July 29, 2024
Welcome to this week’s edition of What’s New in R! This week, we’re featuring the rebirth of R primers, a package for making flowcharts, and a package to use SAS procedures in R. Let’s dive in!
R Primers
Six years ago, the company now known as Posit (then known as RStudio) created a set of primers for people learning R. They’ve since been taken down, but Andrew Heiss has re-created them. These are a great way to learn the basic of data wrangling, visualization, and more.
{flowchart} package
This new-to-me package allows you to create flowcharts from a data frame. Sounds useful if you’d like to make flowcharts reproducibly!
{procs} package
I regularly work with people coming to R from SAS. They’ll often ask me questions along the lines of: how do I do this thing that I do in SAS but in R? Having never used SAS, I’m usually at a loss. From now on, I’ll point them to the {procs} package, which provides functions to mimic common SAS procedures.
