Analysis in R: ‘DataExplorer’ package for a simple browser view of data content

This package allows you to easily check the data content in a browser. It is also possible to check data size, composition and NA values, which may be useful. It may be useful in combination with the “openxlsx” package, which reads Excel files.

Package version is 0.8.2. Checked with R version 4.2.2.

Install Package

Run the following command.

#Install Package
install.packages("DataExplorer")

Example

See the command and package help for details.

#Loading the library
library("DataExplorer")
library("tcltk")

###Creating Data#####
n = 100
TestData <- data.frame(Group = sample(c(paste0("Group", 1:5), NA), n, replace = TRUE),
                       Data1 = sample(c(0:1, NA), n, replace = TRUE),
                       Data2 = rnorm(n),
                       Data3 = rnorm(n))
