jsPsychHelpeR

Standardize and automatize data preparation and analysis of jsPsych experiments created with jsPsychMaker. See the jsPsychHelpeR manual for more detailed information.

Who can use this

If you ran or simulated participants on a protocol created with jsPsychMaker you can use jsPsychHelpeR.

How to use

First, install the jsPsychHelpeR package:

if (!require('remotes')) utils::install.packages('remotes'); remotes::install_github('gorkang/jsPsychHelpeR')

Then, to create and configure an RStudio project with the data preparation, run one of the following options.

OPTION 1) If you have the raw data in your computer

Replace 'pid' below with your project ID
Use the folder parameter to select a specific folder for the RStudio project
Use the data_location parameter to indicate the location of the raw data

jsPsychHelpeR::run_initial_setup(pid = '999', 
                                 data_location = '~/Downloads/JSPSYCH/999/', 
                                 folder = '~/Downloads/jsPsychHelpeR_999/')

OPTION 2) If you have the FTP credentials in .vault/.credentials

jsPsychHelpeR::run_initial_setup(pid = '999', 
                                 download_files = TRUE)

If you are using RStudio, the new project will open. In there, open run.R and follow the instructions.

First run

Visualize pipeline: targets::tar_visnetwork()

Start data preparation: targets::tar_make()

Outputs

All the Rmd reports, tables, figures, etc will appear in the outputs folder.

To list the available objects (dataframes, etc.): targets::tar_objects().

To load an object targets::tar_load(). For example: targets::tar_load(DF_analysis).

Data preparation and analysis

We use the targets package.

The whole process can be reproduced running targets::tar_make()

A nice visualization of all the pre-processing steps can be seen with targets::tar_visnetwork(targets_only = TRUE)

The file _targets.R contains the important parameters and calls to all the functions used when running targets::tar_make()

To see more detail about any specific step, you can:

Go to the relevant function
Load the input parameters of the function with targets::tar_load()
Run the code step by step as you would normally do

Output tables and plots

Plots, tables and reports are in outputs/plots, outputs/tablesand outputs/reports respectively.
Dataframes for different stages of data processing can be seen in outputs/data
