About this blog

A blog about the use of R with medical data.

About me

My name is Peter Higgins, and I work at the University of Michigan, where I am a Professor of Internal Medicine and take care of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I do a variety of research projects related to Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which range from basic science to translational drug development to clinical trials to epidemiology.

Some of the posts here are largely notes to myself to help in writing an e-book about Reproducible Medical Research in R (RMRWR). Other posts will essentially be first drafts of future chapters of RMRWR, which is a work in progress. The RMRWR e-book can be found here: https://bookdown.org/pdr_higgins/rmrwr/
