timbr

timbr provides data frames for forest or tree data structures. You can create forest data structures from data frames and process them based on their hierarchies.

Installation

You can install the development version of timbr from GitHub with:

# the released version from CRAN:
install.packages("timbr")

# the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("UchidaMizuki/timbr")

Examples

  mutate(value = row_number()) |> 
  forest_by(key1, key2, key3)
