Package: plnr 2026.9.24

plnr: A Framework for Planning and Executing Analyses

Use a plan to run the same analysis function over many sets of arguments, or to run different functions on the same data. A plan holds the data sources, the argument sets and the functions. Running the plan loads the data once and passes it to every analysis, in sequence or in parallel. Typical uses are one method applied across strata such as locations or age groups, or across exposures and outcomes, and the tables and figures of a report.
