mpathr

Overview

The goal of mpathr is to provide with a few utility functions to read and perform some common operations in data from Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) studies collected through the ‘m-Path’ platform (https://m-path.io/landing/). The package provides functions to read data from ‘m-Path’, and to calculate response rate in data from Experience Sampling studies.

Installation

install.packages("mpathr")
library(mpathr)

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to read data gathered from m-Path into R using the mpathr package. For this, we use the example data included in the package:

# loads package
library(mpathr)

# find paths to example basic and meta data:
basic_path <- mpath_example(file ='example_basic.csv')
meta_path <- mpath_example(file = 'example_meta.csv')

# read the data
data <- read_mpath(
  file = basic_path,
  meta_data = meta_path
)

print(data)
