THIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE IS IN BETA RELEASE AND MAY CONTAIN SOME BUGS. IN ADDITION, SOME FUNCTIONALITY MAY CHANGE. PLEASE SEE DISCLAIMER BELOW AND USE ACCORDINGLY.
The ripeds R package provides a series of piped functions to
facilitate downloading Department of Education Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS) complete data files.
All command pipes must start with ipeds_init(), end with
ipeds_get(), and be linked with the base pipe, |>, or magrittr pipe
function, %>%. Internal commands, ipeds_select(), ipeds_filter(),
and ipeds_year() come in any order in the pipe chain. Only
ipeds_select() is required.
This software package was developed by the Office of Data and Evaluation of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
