R Script Names

JB edited this page Aug 30, 2015 · 1 revision

R script names should follow a convention.

There are at least 5 key pieces of information that the names need to convey:

  1. The database being analyzed
  2. The case types represented in the output
  3. The time increment under analysis (i.e. monthly, yearly, qrtly)
  4. The time frame of the analysis (e.g. FY09-FY15)
  5. The type of figure created by the script. (e.g. TABLE, GRAPH)

So, a table drawn from the CMS database which shows monthly counts of MC hearings between FY09 and FY15 would be entitled: CMS_MC_Monthly_FY09-FY15_TABLE.R
