Overview

About

Maintained by Luke JohnstonCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Use a consistent syntax to create data structures of common statistical techniques that can be continued in a pipe chain. Design the analysis, add settings and variables, construct the results, and polish the final structure. Rinse and repeat for any number of statistical techniques.

Changes in 0.3.0

New features

Added a Partial Least Squares design with settings and construction
Added tidying/scrubbing for PLS analysis (#31)

Bug fixes

Fix bugs introduced by latest dplyr version 1.0.0 and tibble version

Improvements

Re-factored the underlying gather-group_by-do method of running models on each

combination of x and y. Now uses purrr::map() over a list of all possible formulas.

Computing time and memory usage is much much lower now (#22).

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/mason/mason_0.3.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "mason_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("lwjohnst86/mason")

Development version from lwjohnst86/mason. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
