The goal of the honos R package is to assist with the analysis and visualisation of Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) (Wing et al. 1998).
Installation
You can install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("CDU-data-science-team/honos", build_vignettes = TRUE)Functions
See vignettes using browseVignettes(package = "honos") for further information. The vignettes are also available at https://cdu-data-science-team.github.io/honos (see “Articles”).

-
as_item_desc(): Add labels for HoNOS items -
as_severity_desc(): Add labels for HoNOS severity ratings -
as_cluster_desc(): Add labels for HoNOS clusters
Calculations
-
lag_honos(): Calculate lagged scores based on a date variable and calculate change labels (e.g., “high to low,” or ‘deterioration’) -
