wpa

Analyze and Visualize Workplace Analytics data

This is an R package for analyzing and visualizing data from Microsoft Workplace Analytics.

With the wpa package, you can...

1. Run prebuilt analysis and visualizations off Workplace Analytics data with settings for HR variables, privacy threshold, etc.
2. Generate prebuilt interactive HTML reports, which cover specific areas e.g. collaboration, connectivity
3. Leverage advanced analytics functions, such as text mining and hierarchical clustering, which are built for Workplace Analytics metrics
4. Integrate analysis of Workplace Analytics data with your R workflow seamlessly

Here are just some examples of the plots that you can create with wpa:

Installing the package

You can install the GitHub version of wpa with the following in R:

# Check if devtools is installed, if not then install it
if(!"devtools" %in% installed.packages()){
  install.packages("devtools")
}
devtools::install_git(url = "https://github.com/microsoft/wpa.git")

Note that wpa is not yet released on CRAN, and therefore install.packages() will not work.

Examples

The package comes shipped with a sample Standard Query dataset (sq_data), so you can start exploring functions without having to read in any data. Most functions in wpa share a consistent API, and enable you to return results for both a plot or a table (data frame):

collaboration_sum(sq_data, return = "plot")

By passing 'table' to the return argument, the function will return a data frame with the relevant summary statistics.

The following illustrates the basic API of standard analysis functions:
