Welcome

This is the FreesearchR data analysis tool. We intend FreesearchR to be a free tool for easy data evaluation and analysis. If you need more advanced tools, start with FreesearchR and then you'll probably be better off using R or similar directly.

Here is a brief summary of the functions:

  1. Import data from a spreadsheet/file on your machine, direct export from a REDCap server, sample data or data from a your local environment if run locally.

  2. Data inspection and modification like modifying variables or creating new (categorical from numeric or time data, or completely new variables from the data)

  3. Evaluate data using descriptive analyses methods and inspect cross-correlations

  4. Create and export simple, clean plots for data overview and insights

  5. Create regression simple models for even more advanced data analyses

    • Linear, dichotomous or ordinal logistic regression will be used depending on specified outcome variable

    • Plot regression analysis coefficients

    • Evaluate model assumptions

  6. Export results

    • Descriptive and regression analyses results for MS Word or LibreOffice

    • Modified data with preserved metadata

    • Code to recreate all steps locally
