Module #10

 

Above is my following description file I've created in RStudio. The following categories are explained below.

Package. The name of the package.

Title. A one-line description of what the package does.

Version. Convention has it that this should be in the format <major>.<minor>.<patch>. Since we are only in development we start a fourth digit, which, also by convention, starts with 9000. Hence 0.0.0.9000 is a good starting point, and 0.0.0.9001 would be the next (development) version while 0.1.0 or 1.0.0 would be the first release version.

Authors@R. Machine-readable description of the authors (aut), maintainer (cre), contributors (ctb) and others (see ?person).

Description. One paragraph of what the packages does. 

Depends. Lists the dependencies that are absolutely necessary to load the package.

License. Who can use this package and for what? I suggest CC0

Below is my GitHub page which allows you to view the full description file and download it.
