Overview

About

Maintained by Ella KayeFirst published 2025-04-081 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

From 'R' 4.5.0, the 'datasets' package includes the penguins and penguins_raw data sets popularised in the 'palmerpenguins' package. 'basepenguins' takes files that use the 'palmerpenguins' package and converts them to work with the versions from 'datasets' ('R' >= 4.5.0). It does this by removing calls to library(palmerpenguins) and making the necessary changes to column names. Additionally, it provides helper functions to define new files paths for saving the output and a directory of example files to experiment with.
