This package has been created to help NHS, Public Health and related
analysts/data scientists learn to use R
. It contains several free
datasets, with help files, explaining their structure, and includes
vignette
examples of their use.
We encourage contributions to the package, both to expand the set of
training material, and also as development for newer R
/github users as
a first or early contribution.
Please add relevant free, open source data sets that you think may
benefit the NHS-R Community.
You can install the package from CRAN with:
install.packages("NHSRdatasets")
To install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("nhs-r-community/NHSRdatasets")
Note that the versions can be different between CRAN and currently version 0.3.0 on CRAN doesn’t include the Covid-19 data but version 0.3.1 from GitHub does.
Further information on the data can be found through the page https://nhs-r-community.github.io/NHSRdatasets/ which can also be located at the top left of the GitHub repository.
Please see our guidance on how to contribute.
