Maintained by Audun Utengen3 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Analyze data from the 'Healthcare Social Graph' via access to the 'Symplur' API. The 'Healthcare Social Graph' contains billions of healthcare social media data points. Hundreds of published journal articles have leveraged data from the 'Healthcare Social Graph'. About the 'Symplur' API: https://api.symplur.com/v1/docs/. About 'Symplur' research: https://www.symplur.com/healthcare-social-media-research/. Credit to Professor Larry Chu, MD at Stanford University School of Medicine for the idea of the 'SympluR' package.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/SympluR/SympluR_0.3.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "SympluR_0.3.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.3.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("symplur/SympluR")

Development version from symplur/SympluR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
