The mfutils package is a collection of R functions that I frequently use for data analysis. Most of these functions I have created myself, however some I have found on the interwebs (e.g., stack overflow), in which case I have also included the relevant attribution/url in the documentation.
These functions can be sorted into different categories:
- general utilities for constructing and manipulating base R objects, such as character vectors and lists
- common matrix operations
- plotting (mostly ggplot2 enhancements)
- tools for implementing representational similarity analysis (RSA), including spatial prewhitening and various distance measures
- convenience functions for working with gifti objects from the
giftipackage (for surface fMRI data) - as well as functions that enforce a standardized way to use parcellation atlases
Currently, I prefer to have all of these functions within a single package. As this package becomes more developed, I may split off encapsulated sets of functions into separate packages.
If for whatever reason you would like to install this package, you can do so with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("mcfreund/mfutils")
