A long overdue overhaul of my eeptools package for R was released to CRAN today and should be showing up in the mirrors soon. The release notes for this version are extensive as this represents a modernization of the package infrastructure and the reimagining of many of the utility functions contained in the package. From the release notes:

This is a major update including removing little used functions and renaming and restructuring functions.

New Functionality

A new package vignette is now included
nth_max function for finding the nth highest value in a vector
retained_calc now accepts user specified values for sid and grade
destring function deprecated and renamed to makenum to better reflect the use of the function
crosstabs function exported to allow the user to generate the data behind crosstabplot but not draw the plot

Deprecated

dropbox_source deprecated, use the rdrop2 package
plotForWord function deprecated in favor of packages like knitr and rmarkdown
mapmerge2 has been deprecated in favor of a tested mapmerge
mosaictabs.labels has been deprecated in favor of crosstabplot

Bug Fixes

nsims in gelmansim was renamed to n.sims to align with the arm package
Fixed bug in retained_calc where user specified sid resulted in wrong ids being returned
Inserted a meaningful error in age_calc when the enddate is before the date of birth
Fixed issue with age_calc which lead to wrong fraction of age during leap years
lag_data now can do leads and lags and includes proper error messages
fix major bugs for statamode including faulty default to method and returning objects of the wrong class
add unit tests and continuous integration support for better package updating
fix behavior of max_mis in cases when it is passed an empty vector or a vector of NA
leading_zero function made robust to negative values
added NA handling options to cutoff and thresh
Codebase is now tested with lintr to improve readability
