INTEREST, acronym for INteractive Tool for Exploring REsults from Simulation sTudies, is an interactive web app developed using R and shiny
. It allows exploring results from simulation studies interactively.
A live demo of INTEREST can be found here. Please note that this version is still under active development: bug reports and feature requests are welcome.
INTEREST can be installed locally as a standalone R package, by typing the following R commands in your R console:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ellessenne/interest")
This requires a working installation of R and, preferably, RStudio.
To launch INTEREST first load the interest
R package:
library(interest)
Then, use the interest()
function:
interest()
The app should now launch in your browser.
The workflow of INTERACT is simple:
- load your data and define variables representing point estimates, standard errors, methods, and so on;
- summary statistics are computed automatically;
- tables and plots are produced automatically, and can be customised and explored interactively;
- tables and plots can be exported for later use.
