Tools for building binary logistic regression models

Overview

Tools designed to make it easier for users, particularly beginner/intermediate R users to build logistic regression models. Includes comprehensive regression output, variable selection procedures, model validation techniques and a ‘shiny’ app for interactive model building.

Installation

# Install blorr from CRAN
install.packages("blorr")

# Install development version from GitHub
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rsquaredacademy/blorr")

# Install the development version from `rsquaredacademy` universe
install.packages("blorr", repos = "https://rsquaredacademy.r-universe.dev")

Usage

blorr uses consistent prefix blr_* for easy tab completion.
