Overview

The goal of fastDummies is to quickly create dummy variables (columns) and dummy rows. Creating dummy variables is possible through base R or other packages, but this package is much faster than those methods.

Installation

To install this package, use the code
install.packages("fastDummies")


# The development version is available on Github.
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jacobkap/fastDummies")

Usage

library(fastDummies)

There are two functions in this package:

• dummy_cols() lets you make dummy variables (dummy_columns() is a clone of dummy_cols())
• dummy_rows() which lets you make dummy rows.
