R-Toolbox

I finally take my time to write my first R-package. I always wanted to do that because it is easier to maintain functions that one might use more than once (which of course is the idea of writing a function). If functions are collected and maintained in a package, the whole process is central and one doesn’t have to care about the version (this gets quite messy I guess). But: Think about downward-compatibility to make sure your previous work—maybe a dynamic report you want to update frequently—still runs.

If you want to have a look at the package, find it on my GitHub-account. I also included the package in my thesis-template. I will definitely extend the package with my other functions I find useful, but first I want to comment them properly and also add a helpfile.

Thanks to Hilary Parker for her fantastic post about how to write a package from scratch. Try it yourself and write your own!
