  1. Congrats on porting over a complex project into a reproducible workflow!
  2. It's OK to have multi[le RMarkdowns for different purposes. Whenever you end up with a long uber script or markdown, ask if it might be easier to split it into multiple scripts/markdowns. The tradeoff of course is number of scripts versus length and complexity of scripts - every project and person has their own optimum for that. But often if you have just 1 Rmd, it would be easier to split it into 2 or 3

Congrats on being able to tackle a new component of your research already - its a good skill to learn how to juggle multiple related projects early on, and it seems like you're killing it!! (: It was helpful and inspiring for me to see your break down of project structure as well... I want my github repos / pages to be as informative and organized as your seem to be!

Love your illustrated workflow, very clear and easy to understand.

Whether or not making the functions is necessary, I think it’s helpful to do to write cleaner code. If people want to know how exactly you did an analysis, they can dig into the functions script.

I like your goal of creating a metadata and style guide file. I've really like using R markdown to discuss data analysis with my advisor and committee members-- I think you will find it useful in your own endeavors.

I really like how you are reverse engineering an older project. As you mentioned, I think it will be really valuable to learn from your previous experience and work out best practice to apply to your future projects.

That's admirable that you changed your project, but it sounds like this one will be more manageable! I know that feeling of working with people who are die hard Excel fans that like to use pivot tables. Sounds like you're making great progress!

JustinHockett commented 2 years ago

Your project sounds really cool from a science perspective! It's always cool to hear what research people are doing. I think it's great that you're moving away from excel calculations to R to get your data ready for publication.

Great job going back to re-produce some reproducible workflows! That sounded like a lot of effort that seems like it will be very useful in the long run.

Great job KT, it's great to see your progress! I really loved your workflow, I think it was fun but also super clear and straightforward. I personally prefer using scripts, I think it's just less to worry about whereas .Rmd has so many templates and extra "stuff", but I think it's a great idea to have all your scripts eventually lead to a super readable .Rmd.

I think the time spent on moving away from Excel and toward R is going to really set a good foundation for the rest of your PhD analytical work... it is something I wish I had done earlier in my PhD and just didn't make the time to retrain myself. I'd love to see some of the functions that you've created... I guess I can look in your code on the repo : )
