Welcome

This is the freesearchR web data analysis tool. We intend the freesearchR to be a powerful and free tool for easy data evaluation and analysis at the hands of the clinician.

By intention, this tool has been designed to be simple to use with a minimum of mandatory options to keep the workflow streamlined, while also including a few options to go even further.

There are four simple steps to go through:

  1. Import data (a spreadsheet/file on your machine, direct export from a REDCap server, or a local file provided with a package).

  2. An optional step of data modification (change variable classes and creating categorical variables (factors) from numeric or time data)

  3. Data analysis of cross-sectionally designed studies (more study designs are planned to be included)

    • Classic baseline charactieristics (options to stratify and compare variables)

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

    • Evaluation of model assumptions

  4. Export the the analyses results as for MS Word or LibreOffice.
