Welcome to Medical R

Welcome to my blog, Medical R. I will blog on topics related to using R with medical data. I hope you enjoy reading and find this useful!

I hope to tackle topics including:

Best Practices for Data collection and entry
Data security and PHI
Why to avoid using Excel
If you absolutely must use a spreadsheet, how to do it well.
Why you should invest in using REDCap
Tools to get data from REDCap to R
Exploring your data
Making assertions about your data
What is Tidy Data & Why it is Important
How to make your data Tidy

These posts are often the first drafts for future chapters of RMRWR, Reproducible Medical Research with R, an work-in-progress e-book found at https://bookdown.org/pdr_higgins/rmrwr/

Thanks for reading!
