I'm using Rstudio 2022.22.1 on MacOS Monterey 12.3.1.
I load libraries at the begininning by doing:
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library("tidyverse", "here", "magrittr")
library("pastecs", "psych")
## dlf<-read.delim("data/DownloadFestival(No Outlier).dat", header=TRUE)
dlf<-here::here("data/DownloadFestival(No Outlier).dat") %>% readr::read_delim(col_names = TRUE)
I also check the thick for the library "psych" in the Packages section of RStudio.
The issue is that, from a certain point (after Knitting) I wasn't unable to use the command describe
, this is the error:
could not find function "describe"
I could bypass this, by typing each time I use the function:
psych::describe
instead of describe
alone
How can I use describe
without specifying the psych::
prefix each time ?
Your problem is that library("pastecs", "psych")
isn't doing what you think. Weirdly enough, there isn't an obvious idiom for "load a bunch of packages at once": I wish there were an easier way to do this, but try
invisible(lapply(c("psych", "pastecs"), library, character.only = TRUE))
The answers to this question provide a bunch of different ways to load many packages at once (the accepted answer is the same as the one given here).
