⚠️There's a newer version (1.2.0) of this package.Take me there.

NCmisc (version 1.1.5)

Miscellaneous Functions for Creating Adaptive Functions and Scripts

Description

A set of handy functions. Includes a versatile one line progress bar, one line function timer with detailed output, time delay function, text histogram, object preview, CRAN package search, simpler package installer, Linux command install check, a flexible Mode function, top function, simulation of correlated data, and more.

Functions in NCmisc (1.1.5)

Function to add commas for large numbers

Simulate a correlated variable

check.linux.install

Check whether a given system command is installed (e.g, bash)

estimate.memory

Estimate the memory required for an object.

A more general dimension function

Create fake text for testing purposes

Obtain an index of all instances of values with duplicates (ordered)

Split a text file into multiple parts

exists.not.function

Does object exist ignoring functions The exists() function can tell you whether an object exists at all, or whether an object exists with a certain type, but it can be useful to know whether an object exists as genuine data (and not a function) which can be important when a variable or object is accidently or intentionally given the same name as a function. This function usually returns a logical value as to the existence of the object (ignoring functions) but can also be set to return the non-function type if the object exists.

Extend an interval by percentage

Force argument to be a numeric type with length one

force.percentage

Force argument to be a percentage with length one

Print heading text with a border.

Determine whether a function can be applied to an S4 class/object

Create variables from a list

list.functions.in.file

Show all functions used in an R script file, by package

A good way to preview large lists.

get.distinct.cols

Return up to 22 distinct colours.

getRepositories

Detect all available R repositories.

Find the mode of a vector.

must.use.package

Do everything possible to load an R package.

Monitor CPU, RAM and Processes

Unlist a list, starting only from a set depth.

Wait for a period of time.

Return vector indexes of statistical univariate outliers

Return an object with missing values removed.

NCmisc-internal

Internal NCmisc Functions

Create an index file for an R function file

Times an expression, with breakdown of time spent in each function

Remove leading and trailing spaces (or other character).

Creates a progess bar within a loop

Return a string with each first letter of each word in upper case.

Find data thresholds corresponding to percentiles

Print a vector with appropriate padding so each has equal char length.

Summary of RAM footprint for all R objects in the current session. Not my function, but taken from an R-Help response by Elizabeth Purdom, at Berkeley. Simply applies the function 'object.size' to the objects in ls(). Also very similar to an example in the 'Help' for the utils::object.size() function.

Simple representation and retrieval of Date/Time

Draw a scatterplot with a fit line

Print a character a specified number of times.

Miscellaneous Functions for Creating Adaptive Functions and Scripts

Easily display fraction and percentages

Output variable states within functions/loops during testing/debugging

Convert p-values to Z-scores

Tidy display function for matrix objects

Search all CRAN packages for those containing keyword(s).

Convert a numeric vector to Z-scores.

Simulate a dataset with correlated measures

packages.loaded

Check whether a set of packages has been loaded

Convert objects as arguments to object names

Output variable states within functions during testing/debugging

Posterior probability of association function

summarise.r.datasets

Summarise the dimensions and type of available R example datasets

Make an ascii histogram in the console.

Convert Z-scores to p-values
