What problem does it solve?
Performing robust data analysis and statistical modeling in R requires adherence to best practices for code quality, testing, and reproducibility. This Skill provides expert guidance for R 4.4+, integrating testthat 3.2 for testing and lintr 3.2 for code quality, ensuring your data science projects are reliable and maintainable.
Core Features & Use Cases
- R 4.4+ Best Practices: Guides on leveraging new language features, efficient data manipulation, and statistical modeling techniques.
- Reproducible Testing: Implement test-driven development for R scripts and packages using
testthat 3.2.
- Code Quality & Style: Enforce consistent code style and catch common errors with
lintr 3.2.
- Data Analysis Patterns: Provides patterns for data cleaning, transformation, visualization, and model building.
- Use Case: When developing a new statistical model, this Skill can help you structure your R code, write unit tests for your functions, and ensure your script adheres to best practices for reproducibility and maintainability.
Quick Start
Install R packages
install.packages(c("testthat", "lintr"))
Run tests
testthat::test_dir("tests/")
Lint R code
lintr::lint("my_script.R")
Claude can then assist with data manipulation and model development.
