R Utilities (the hRU package)

The hRU is an R package currently under development. It includes many helpful utilities for complex data management and analysis, with a particular focus on network data.

The hRU will be available on CRAN in Fall 2025. In the meantime, please feel free to use the provisional versions linked below. The hRU may be installed manually as a package (use the *.tar.gz file), or you can load the hRU workspace directly into R (use the *.RData file). Using the hRU as a workspace is slightly less elegant but it is a simpler method. I have been getting reports of problems with installing the package on MacOS. If this applies to you, please use the workspace instead.

Download

hRU Installation Package Instructions

To load the hRU as a package from RStudio:

  • Go to Tools -> Install Packages…

Now, within R you may load the package using command “library(hru)”
