Function (there's only one)

adj_cran_downloads() Wrapper around cranlogs function cran_downloads(). Works the same, but returns a data frame showing the adjusted downloads, adjusted total downloads, shared minimum downloads, and package update information.

Usage

library(adjustedcranlogs)
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(lubridate)

mypkgdownloads = adj_cran_downloads("skpr",from = "2017-08-15", to = "2017-11-15")

mypkgdownloads %>%
  ggplot() + 
  geom_line(aes(x=date,y=adjusted_total_downloads)) +
  geom_line(aes(x=date,y=total_downloads),color="red",linetype="dashed") +
  annotate("text",y=400,x=dmy("01-10-2017"),label="Raw Downloads",color="red") +
  annotate("text",y=50,x=dmy("20-10-2017"),label="Adjusted Downloads",color="black") +
