Personal R Packages

Read Original

The article explores the concept of personal R packages, inspired by Karl Broman's collection of useful functions. It argues that teaching graduate students to create such packages promotes good coding practices, documentation, and collaboration. The post highlights how personal packages facilitate code distribution and reproducibility, using a real-world example of installing and using a function from GitHub.
