basr

The package basr is a collection of basic functions that I find mostly useful for myself.

Installation

Install basr from CRAN:

install.packages("basr")

To install the package from GitHub (which may be ahead of CRAN from time to time), use the package remotes or better pak to install basr:

remotes::install_github("basille/basr")
pak::pkg_install("basille/basr")
