overviewR - Easily Explore Your Data in R
Cosima Meyer, Dennis Hammerschmidt · The Journal of Open Source Software · 2022
The package overviewR (Meyer & Hammerschmidt, 2022) helps users to get an overview of data with a particular emphasis on the extent that the distinct units of observation are covered for the entire time frame of the data set.With (large) data sets that have many different observations over a long period, it becomes increasingly difficult to identify each unique observation and its exact coverage in the data.In particular, if some observations are not included for the entire time span of the data -either because they entered later, dropped out earlier, or have gaps in between -it can become difficult to spot potential problems in the data's time and scope.As Staniak & Biecek (2019) argue, these tools are increasingly in demand.
