The LCTMtools package provides a quick and easy way to summarise and compare the output of fitted Latent class trajectory models objects. It is primarily aimed at researchers with little experience with R to aid in the analysis of model selection, but we hope may be of use to all. This vignette illustrates basic use of the package’s function, LCTMtoolkit, for summarising outputs from fitted Latent class trajectory models objects. To install the R package, in the R console use the command devtools::install_github(“hlennon/LCTMtools”)

This short course aims to introduce the key basics of programming in R (a key skill for a health data scientist). The emphasis is on the fundamental principles of writing scripts in R and how they are applied in practice. Commands around reading, manipulating, analysing and visualising health data will be introduced and hands-on practice will consolidate learning.
