You can install rnhanesdata
from Github using the devtools package by running the following code:
#install.package("devtools")
devtools::install_github("andrew-leroux/rnhanesdata")
You can view package vignettes at https://andrew-leroux.github.io/rnhanesdata/ under the "Articles" tab. Alternatively, if you want to build the package vignettes, you'll need to install some additional packages and modify the call to devtools::install_github(). The code to do so is below
## install required CRAN packages
pckgs <- c("knitr","kableExtra", ## packages used for creating Tables
"devtools", ## package used to download R packages stored on GitHub
"ggplot2", "gridExtra", ## packages for plotting
"corrplot", ## for correlation plot
"reshape2", ## for transforming data long -> wide and wide -> long
"dplyr", ## packages for merging/transforming data
"survey", ## package used for analyzing complex survey data in R
"mgcv", "refund" ## packages used for smoothing/fpca
)
sapply(pckgs, function(x) if(!require(x,character.only=TRUE,quietly=TRUE)) {
install.packages(x)
require(x, character.only=TRUE)
})
rm(list=c("pckgs"))
devtools::install_github("andrew-leroux/rnhanesdata", build_vignettes = TRUE,
build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual"))
Once this package is installed, see the help file associated with the package (?rnhanesdata) for an overview of the primary package functions, as well as a high level description of the processed NHANES data included in the package. Each set of processed data includes it's own set of documentation.
