1. Install required packages, if they aren’t already installed.

if(!require(dplyr)) {install.packages("sjlabelled", repos='https://cran.csiro.au/', dependencies=TRUE)}
if(!require(sjlabelled)) {install.packages("sjlabelled", repos='https://cran.csiro.au/', dependencies=TRUE)}
if(!require(sjmisc)) {install.packages("sjmisc", repos='https://cran.csiro.au/', dependencies=TRUE)}
if(!require(sjstats)) {install.packages("sjstats", repos='https://cran.csiro.au/', dependencies=TRUE)}
if(!require(sjPlot)) {install.packages("sjlabelled", repos='https://cran.csiro.au/', dependencies=TRUE)}
if(!require(summarytools)) {install.packages("summarytools", repos='https://cran.csiro.au/', dependencies=TRUE)}
if(!require(ggplot2)) {install.packages("ggplot2", repos='https://cran.csiro.au/', dependencies= TRUE)}
if(!require(ggthemes)) {install.packages("ggthemes", repos='https://cran.csiro.au/', dependencies= TRUE)}

2. Load required packages into memory

library(dplyr)
library(sjlabelled)
library(sjmisc)
library(sjstats)
library(sjPlot)
library(summarytools)
library(ggplot2)
library(ggthemes)

3. Turn off scientific notation

This command turns scientific notations (e.g., 2e-10) into numbers (e.g. 0.000000000002)

options(digits=5, scipen=15) 

4. Stop View from overloading memory

This function stops the built in function ‘View’ from overloading your memory with too many rows of data.

RStudioView <- View
View <- function(x) {
  if ("data.frame" %in% class(x)) { RStudioView(x[1:500,]) } else { RStudioView(x) }
}
