Overview

About

Maintained by Vlad Tarko2 releasesCRAN page ↗

Creates a summary dataframe that can be used in 'RStudio' similar to the variable explorer in 'Stata', but which also includes the summary statistics. By default the result is shown in the 'RStudio' Viewer Pane as a searchable data table. This is useful particularly if you have a large dataset with a very large number of labelled variables with hard to remember names. Can also be used to generate a table of summary statistics.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/varsExplore/varsExplore_0.3.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "varsExplore_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.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-varsexplore

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-varsExplore

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
