Abstract:
|
This talk will describe my 2010 summer research work with Hadley Wickham, on the R package `helpr`. helpr expidites the user finding help in their own working environment. It provides documentation in a friendly HTML format, providing links to other packages, function aliases, and function sources. Finding information about a package and dependencies is painless. There is a also a comprehensive search tool for searching across all R packages for features. Most of `helpr` does not require the internet, while some features (search, RSS feed) require an available internet connection.
