Elevating Public Health Decision-Making with R Packages
summary
Shows how structuring analysis as an R package structure (using usethis and roxygen) turns chaotic projects into reproducible codebases, with versioned data files, vignettes for methods, and one‑line installs. Model code is incorporated into the Epidemics package, a national COVID model informs Dutch policy to extend vaccination for over a million people, and work survives an international audit; one package even reaches CRAN. Uses GitLab for PHI and keeps dated data snapshots for reproducibility.
