nicethings

This collects together various functions that I find useful. The primary purpose is to write convenience functions for putting nicely formatted values such as regression estimates, p values and percentages into Rmarkdown documents without long, nested inline code strings with round() and other calculations.

I dithered around calling this stmisc or nicethings and settled with nicethings as is sounds, well, nicer.

Please email me for the zip file of the package. Once you have received the file, please do the following:

1. Save the zip file to a convenient location but do not unzip
2. Open RStudio
3. Run the following line: install.packages(file.choose(), repos=NULL)
4. This will launch a file chooser where you can select the zip file you have just downloaded.

This should install the package to the R package library.

If installation is successful you will then be able to load the package with library(nicethings)
