Other Projects

These are projects I did in besides my dissertation.

R package for analyzing school social network data

Already during my masters thesis, I started writing a package to help me and my colleagues with the data analysis. Over the years, I have developed it further, added more functions and options and it has been really useful for me. Because we use the same data structure for all our data collection efforts, the package is easily used with all of them. I have built the package locally and use it on a daily basis, but have not yet come around to bring it into a published form. My plan is to publish the package at some point on GitHub for everyone to use. For now, I have compiled the functions in one .R file so you can use it via “source()”.

R function and shiny app to sort assign students to topics in seminars

This is a program that I wrote to assign the students in my seminars to their preferred topic to present on. The students fill out a ranking of topics and tries to optimize the choices in a way that is preferential to the whole group. First I used it only inside of R but now I have published the program as a shiny app that is embedded into the page and you can use it yourself.
