rUM

This is a collection of R things from your friends at UM (The University of Miami).

To see a tutorial video on rUM check out our presentation at R Medicine 2025.

rUM includes:

• A research project template. It creates a new RStudio project that has your choice of an analysis.qmd Quarto file or analysis.Rmd R markdown file that load the tidyverse and conflicted packages and set many useful default details. These files can also include example tables and figures.

• rUM streamlines creating a package that include a paper outline with the make_package() function.

• rUM helps with project documentation files (write_readme() and write_notes()), and Quarto styling files (write_scss()).

• rUM can make documentation/manual pages for datasets with the write_man() function.
• rUM now includes templates to produce slide decks with the write_slides() function. There are now functions (find_slides() and show_slides()) to find and render/show slides that are included with a package.
• write_quarto() now accepts an example argument. If this is set to TRUE, then it will use the Quarto paper template with examples of a table and figure with cross-referencing. If this is FALSE, then it will use the Quarto paper template without examples for tables. The default value is NULL and will provide a minimal Quarto template. See ?write_quarto() for more documentation.
