Design and Implement a _Study_ Object

[iqis]

... composed of many psyphr_workbook objects, with subject/activity identification inferred from file structure of workbooks (See #21).

Able to:

• Generate high-level summaries/visualization across subjects/activities
• Output all data in desired format to the file system
  • save_study()

• Helper function to saveRDS() (?)

  S3 object, class name: psyphr_study

generics:

• print.psyphr_study()
• summary.psyphr_study()
• ...

Use a control file in YAML or DCF.

[iqis]

compose_study():

• compose multiple books into a study

read_study():

• read multiple books from a folder
• compose_study()

[wendtke]

Would users be confused by read vs. compose? Maybe compile_study() might be more intuitive?

[iqis]

'read' and 'compose' sound as if they were opposites. "compile" is better. However, for a some people compile may smell like "compiling a program into machine code". What are some other words that mean putting things together?

[iqis]

"Coalesce" probably wouldn't work.

"assemble" "collate" "arrange" "amass"

[iqis]

Thanks. I like "compile" and "collate"

collate_study() might work well, if we think users might think "compile" refers to compiling a program.

@iqis Is this issue unique compared to #37, #38, and #43? Can we consolidate?

[iqis]

Yeah, I agree.

[wendtke]

Unique or consolidate? Can you combine the 4 issues the way you want it?

[iqis]

let's consolidate #36, #38, #43. I think #37 kinda deserves its own issue.

[wendtke]

Sounds good. Can you consolidate?

[iqis]

I need more time to go through them all, as there are also dev branches currently associated with each.

[wendtke]

Of course -- I meant on your own timeline.
