A personal R package, which facilitates common operations performed with the data.table
package.
If you are interested in using the package, feel free to download it from Github with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("DavidJesse21/data.table.extras")
I do not pursue a clearly defined goal with this package.
Instead, one can rather consider it as an evolving collection of functions for data manipulation routines that I frequently encounter.
I would consider the setj_
and dropj_
family of functions as the ones, that could be the most useful for other users as well.
They are inspired by the old dplyr
mutate_
functions (e.g. mutate_if()
or mutate_at()
), but are adapted to the philosophy and functionality of data.table
(reference semantics).
For a detailed description of these and the few other functions from this package, please refer to the package's manual.
