Sweave Example: Personality Reports

This is an example of using Sweave to produce a set of individualised personality reports based.

Overview of Main files

• data folder includes the raw responses to the 50 item survey
• meta folder includes metadata about the personality test
• main.R imports the data and loads external packages
• Report_Template.Rnw includes the report LaTeX and R code
• run.R has the script to load main.R and run Sweave
• run1test.R, run5test.R and runAll.R run Sweave on one case, five cases, all the cases.

A copy of some sample reports can be found in the backup folder.

To build the project

• Run make on the makefile to build one test report
• Run make test5 to build the first five reports
• Run make runall to build all reports. Warning: To run the code for every report takes a while to run (perhaps around 10 to 30 minutes)
• Run make clean to clean the .output directory
• Run make backup to copy the generated reports into the backup directory

Requirements

The reports were built on a system running:

• R 2.11.1
• Rtools 2.11
• MikTeX 2.8
• Windows 7

It should run on other systems with R, a LaTeX distribution, and tools required for running make.
