Install packages and load libraries

Libraries

These add functionality to base R sort of like apps on a new cell phone.

These are in my mind the essential libraries for R

# # Libraries I use on a regular basis-----
install.packages("devtools") # install new things
install.packages("tidyverse") # dplyr and piping and ggplot etc
install.packages("lubridate") # dates and times
install.packages("scales") # scales on ggplot ases
install.packages("readxl") # read in excel files
install.packages("skimr") # quick summary stats
install.packages("janitor") # clean up excel imports
install.packages("patchwork") # arrange multiple plots per page
install.packages("ggThemeAssist") # helps reformat code - only run library one time
install.packages("plotly") # cool ggplot things
install.packages("colorRamps") # adds cool color templates

# Other packages that are used for special work like heat maps
install.packages("hms") # useful for time series
install.packages("akima") # imputing new values

These libraries are useful for general statistics and used quite often

install.packages("car") # stats and ANOVA - essential
install.packages("emmeans") # estimated marginal means for unbalanced designs
install.packages("multcomView") # paired comparisons
install.packages("Rmisc") # stats
install.packages("Hmisc") # stats

install.packages("broom") # output models cleanly
install.packages("GGally") # special ggplot graphs
install.packages("corrplot") # correlation plot matricies

These are specialized libraries that I often use

install.packages("survminer") # survival analysis
install.packages("survival") # survival analysis

install.packages("pwr") # power analysis

install.packages("vegan") # PCA and other sorts of multidimensional
install.packages("factoextra") # more PCA

# mixed models
install.packages("lmerTest") # mixed model Anovas
install.packages("blme")  # Bayesian mixed model Anovas

Finally here are some lesser used pacakges that I do not use a lot but you might find useful

# these are special that you likely will not use    

# install.packages("RMySQL") # access MySQLserver
# install.packages("xts")  # not used
# install.packages("rLakeAnalyzer") # used for the lake analyzer scripts
# install.packages("LakeMetabolizer")
# install.packages("zoo") # helps with time series

To get the libraires running - some need to only be run one time

These will appear in your Addins dropdown toolbar icon

# Run Once and in Addins ----
library(styler)
library(ggThemeAssist)

Other libraries I use each and ever time

I use these in almost every script I run so you will see these over and over

# Load in all scripts ---
