⚠️There's a newer version (1.73) of this package.Take me there.

kutils (version 0.93)

Project Management Tools

Description

Tools for data importation, recoding, and inspection that are used at the University of Kansas Center for Research Methods and Data Analysis. There are functions to create new project folders, R code templates, create uniquely named output directories, and to quickly obtain a visual summary for each variable in a data frame. The main feature here is the systematic implementation of the "variable key" framework for data importation and recoding. We are eager to have community feedback about the variable key and the vignette about it.
