Title: Creating Crantastic R Packages

Location: Room V-157 in building VR-II on the UI campus

Time: Thursday, March 6th 2014, at 12:00 to 13:00.

Abstract: Do you enjoy R? Do you benefit from the packages on the Comprehensive R Archive Network? Do you have a series of related R functions and have an eagerness to contribute to the R community but are not sure how to begin? The purpose of this talk is to walk you through the process of creating an R package and submitting it for publication on CRAN. Creating R packages are an easy and great way to contribute to the community, they look great on the CV, and they provide an avenue for a relatively straightforward publication. During the talk we will discuss the differences between S3/S4 objects, the use of github, integrating present functions with generics (such as summary, print, and anova), writing documentation, running CRAN checks, and submitting your package to CRAN. We conclude by discussing ways to promote your R package.
