A Work in Progress

This book is in constant evolution: below are many items to be addressed in the future to improve on the book.

To-do

• Change colors of Learning check/Review Question blocks as needed
  • Need to match colors in preamble.tex too
• See if way to automate numbering of Learning check questions
  • (Hacky way with R variable counting right now)
  • Currently an issue with rstudio/bookdown#152
  • Need to specify both CSS and LaTeX environment code for custom blocks
• Remove hard-coding whenever possible
• Add captions and labels to all plots
• Look into appropriate license (LICENSE file)

Notes

• Chunk options with figures shouldn't have _ or - in them
  • Gives an error when Knitting to PDF since LaTeX is looking for $

Down the road

• Parameterize the chapters so that other examples could be plugged in easily
  • Will need to set up ifelse conditions for the text to make sense in some spots
• Add tufte_book download format but in gitbook format
• Include discussion on ethics of various datasets
