R Packages

These are the R packages I’ve developed, ranging from tools for generating sample data and color palettes for {ggplot2} to a couple of more lighthearted side projects. Each includes a brief description and links to CRAN and/or GitHub. All of my published packages are also available on R-Universe.

samplezoo

The {samplezoo} package simplifies the generation of samples from various probability distributions, enabling users to quickly create datasets for demonstrations, troubleshooting, or teaching. By prioritizing simplicity and speed over the customization of sample parameters, {samplezoo} is ideal for beginners or anyone looking to save time when working with data.

Rdune

The {Rdune} package offers a collection of color palettes inspired by ‘Dune’, designed for use in data visualizations and graphics with {ggplot2}. The structure of the code and creative inspiration were drawn from the {PrettyCols}, {wesanderson}, {MetBrewer}, {PNWColors} packages.

nopunintended

{nopunintended} is a package designed to take your mind off coding with puns from ‘No Pun Intended: Volume Too’ in the show/video game ‘The Last of Us’. The code structure and creative inspiration were drawn from the {meditations} package.
