This repository contains the R scripts (.R and .Rmd files) necessary to reproduce results from this paper. Datasets generated by these scripts are found in the "data" directory. To run scripts "1-muir-data-wrangling.R" and "2-muir-analys.Rmd", you will need to download the dataset from Muir et al (2017), from Data Dryad. Unzip the download and place the contents inside "data/muir/". Figures and tables generated by the analysis are found in the "out" directory.
This project uses renv to manage package dependencies. After downloading this (or forking it via GitHub), open the .Rproj file. After installing and loading the renv package, simply run restore() to install the exact configuration of R packages originally used in this analysis.
