panelr

It has been just a little more than a day since I announced my new R package, panelr, to the wider world. There’s at least one comparable package for R, called plm, which is very good and should be particularly appealing for economists. This leads to the understandable question as to how panelr differs from plm.

It has been a long time coming, but my R package panelr is now on CRAN. Since I started work on it well over a year ago, it has become essential to my own workflow and I hope it can be useful for others. panel_data object class One key contribution, that I hope can help other developers, is the creation of a panel_data object class. It is a modified tibble, which is itself a modified data.
