Source code

There are three (related) apps included in the inst directory. The, base, offers data documenting, viewing, visualizing, merging, and transforming tools. The quant app sources the code from base and extends it. Finally, the marketing app sources the code from base and quant and, again, extends it with additional tools.

Install

• Required: R, version 3.1.1
• Required: A modern browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, or Firefox)
• Suggested: Rstudio

To download the app click the 'Download ZIP' button and unzip the file to, for example, your Desktop. To start, for example, the base app use setwd() to move to the radiant directory in R(studio). Install Shiny using install.packages('shiny'). Then use shiny::runApp('inst/base') to run the base app. When Radiant starts for the first time a number of required packages will be installed from a local miniCRAN.

Todo

• Use dplyr and tidyr to explore and summarize data
• Code documentation
• Automated testing using Rselenium
• etc. etc.
