R Package Development

Expertise in the development of R packages.

At the beginning of the project at the end of 2017 we developed

• An R package project development and management strategy
• “Clean Code” coding rules because contradictory recommendations exist in the R community, e.g., we use “lower camel case” for all functions and parameters
• The technical infrastructure to bring such a project to success in a small development team, e.g., Eclipse-based development environment, version control, bug tracking, project management, etc.
• Rules to structure an R package project: there exist no uniform recommendations yet for structuring a package and naming the source files

Since 2017, we have continuously expanded our expertise, e.g., we can fall back on a comprehensive development infrastructure with exclusive R packages, which we developed in parallel to the rpact package. Two of these exclusive R packages are desribed on the page Projects.
