🎉Neil Shephard shares his journey from genetic epidemiology to Research Software Engineering, reviving @Sheffield_R_, & building tools for thyroid cancer prediction! “I’m focused on creating a local group to foster connections.” Read more:r-consortium.org/posts/reviving… #RStats

Robert is going to demonstrate tools used to build automated workflow (plumber, Markdown, GitHub actions) together with R Shiny interface allowing non-technical users to produce reports.

Specifically looking at automation using an R based workflow to more rapidly assess latest developments. doi.org/10.12688/wellc…

Next, Robert Smith talks about the transition of health economics evaluation from an Excel based ecosystem to a more reproducible framework for determining cost-effectiveness.

The accompanying sicksickerPack R package demonstrates the use of generic functions which allow re-use of code with different models github.com/dark-peak-anal…

Wael's paper provides a tutorial for developing R packages for health economics doi.org/10.12688/wellc…

This evening's Health Economy special is starting with Wael Mohammed talking about R packages for health economics evaluation.

Discussion is touching on how to use Shiny apps for storytelling, and how to promote reproducibility, for example through bookmarkable state in Shiny.

Benefits of this type of Shiny app: transparent data and visualisations really useful for local authorities. Also potential for increasing reproducibility to be as useful as possible for different user groups.

Just kicking off our November Meetup with @DanOlner talking about using Shiny dashboards in his research

Great selection of #rstudio shortcuts for efficient coding and #rmarkdown👇
