Cloning repository and setting up RStudio

This project can be cloned from github into RStudio (or other IDE) using instructions here.

Once cloned I suggest changing the project settings in RStudio under Tools > Project Settings :

• Restore .RData workspace at startup: No

• Save workspace to .RData on exit: No

This ensures you're starting from a clean session whenever you open the project in RStudio. You can set similar settings in Global options which will affect all projects.

Running the project

The project is to run from start to finish by executing the driver.R script. This script should always run cleanly (without error) on the main branch.

driver.R calls other scripts including setup.R and files in the processing/ and analysis/ folders.

All data used during the project is contained in the data/ folder
