sostools

A collection of functions I frequently use in my research.

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tsostarics/sostools")

Functionality

Some but not all things this package provides:

• save_plot will save PNG, PDF, and SVG figures to separate directories within a provided root directory. E.g., save_plot(my_plot, "plot", "Figures", ...) will save Figures/png/plot.png, Figures/pdf/plot.pdf, Figures/svg/plot.svg. The directories will be created if they do not already exist. Width, height, dpi, etc. can be set within save_plot.
• Watermarking png files with binary-encoded timestamps
• Handle model refit diagnostics for {brms} and {mgcv} models
• Provide additional helpers for use with interactive {targets} workflows
• Extract normal approximations of posterior parameter distributions from a brmsfit object to use as priors for another model.
• Create a data grid with some desired values of variables while marginalizing over the other columns.
