FreesearchR

This package is the backbone of the FreesearchR, a free and open-source browser based data exploration and analysis tool intended to democratise clinical research by assisting any researcher to easily evaluate and analyse data and export publication ready results.

The FreesearchR-tool is online and accessible here: link to the app freely hosted on shinyapps.io. All feedback is welcome and can be shared as a GitHub issue. Any suggestions on collaboration is much welcomed. Please reach out!

Motivation

This app has the following simple goals:

1. help the health clinician getting an overview of data in quality improvement projects and clinical research

2. help learners get a good start analysing data and coding in R

3. ease quick data overview and basic visualisations for any clinical researcher

Install locally

The FreesearchR-tool can also be launched locally. Any data.frame available in the global environment will be accessible from the interface.

require("devtools")
devtools::install_github("agdamsbo/FreesearchR")
library(FreesearchR)
# By loading mtcars to the environment, it will be available 
# in the interface like any other data.frame
data(mtcars) 
launch_FreesearchR()

Acknowledgements

Like any other project, this project was never possible without the great work of others. These are some of the sources and packages I have used:

• The FreesearchR app is build with Shiny and based on R.

• gtsummary: superb and flexible way to create publication-ready analytical and summary tables.

• dreamRs: maintainers of a broad selection of great extensions and tools for Shiny.

• easystats: the performance::check_model() function was central in sparking the idea to create a data analysis tool.

This project was all written by a human and not by any AI-based tools.
