R package to facilitate the preparation and management of ESM/EMA data

Hi there!

Work Details

• I am associate professor of methodology and statistics in the Department of Psychiatry and Neuropsychology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands
• I do research on the statistical methods for meta-analysis and the analysis of multilevel and longitudinal data, with particular emphasis on computational statistics and software development

Most Important Projects

• metafor: an R package for meta-analysis (package website / package docs)
• metadat: an R package containing meta-analysis datasets (package docs)
• mathjaxr: an R package for use of MathJax in Rd files (i.e., to render mathematical equations in the HTML help files)
• poolr: an R package for pooling the results from (dependent) tests by combining their p-values (package docs)
• course_oor: repo with the materials for my Open Online Introduction to R Course
• oor_stream: repo with the materials for my Open Online R Stream
• meta_analysis_books: R code to reproduce the examples and illustrations from various books on meta-analysis

esmpack's Issues

lagvar(): obs must be >=1 for but not mentioned in documentation

Hello! I noticed that lagvar() only recognizes obs>=1 as the starting value but not 0. Some ESM researchers code the starting beep as beep=0 and this function may return NA wrongly. Would you add this requirement to the documentation, or amend the code so it can take beep=0 (or even negative values, if not an issue)?

datbeep2 <- structure(list(subject = c(rep(1,4),rep(2,4)), beep =
                             rep(1:4,2),
                           relaxed = c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)),
                      row.names = c(NA, 8L), class = "data.frame")
datbeep1 <- structure(list(subject = c(rep(1,4),rep(2,4)), beep =
                             rep(1:4,2),
                           relaxed = c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)),
                      row.names = c(NA, 8L), class = "data.frame")
datbeep0 <- structure(list(subject = c(rep(1,4),rep(2,4)), beep =
                             rep(0:3,2),
                           relaxed = c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)),
                      row.names = c(NA, 8L), class = "data.frame")
datbeepm1 <- structure(list(subject = c(rep(1,4),rep(2,4)), beep =
                             rep(-1:2,2),
                           relaxed = c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)),
                      row.names = c(NA, 8L), class = "data.frame")

datbeep1$relaxed_lag <- lagvar(relaxed, id=subject, obs=beep, data=datbeep1)
datbeep2$relaxed_lag <- lagvar(relaxed, id=subject, obs=beep, data=datbeep2)
datbeep0$relaxed_lag <- lagvar(relaxed, id=subject, obs=beep, data=datbeep0)

Suddenly can't install ESMPack

I actually have the same (but also a slightly different) issue. I've been running my script in which ESMPack is used for a while now (last time was end of August) but all of a sudden when I tried to run the script today it started giving me a strange error that the package wasn't installed, and when installing via "remotes::install_github("wviechtb/esmpack")" I get the following (see screenshot):

So it's the same problem (not being able to install ESMPack) but seemingly for a different reason.

Error - install emspack

Hi!
I experinced an error when wanted to install the esmpack package. I tried to enter the code manually or paste or restart the program, it didn't help. Do you have any idea what I should do differently or what could be the problem?
Thank you very much!
