Welcome to the data_hunters!
Our role is to collect and cultivate supplemental data sets for use in the openintro
or usdata
R packages associated with the OpenIntro textbooks.
*If you have an ORCID please email it to me - nicholas.paterno@gmail.com - so that it can be included in your credits.
*Be sure to add data sets that are ready to the appropriate tab on the Google Sheets file that we went over during our initial meeting.
FOR THOSE USING R AND GITHUB
- We will commonly use the
devtools
,here
,usethis
,janitor
,magrittr
,dplyr
andggplot2
packages. If needed, you can install them using the code below:
install.packages(c("devtools", "here", "usethis", "janitor", "magrittr", "dplyr", "ggplot2"))
The next steps will be a series of three screencasts to walk you through the entire process you'll go through from setting up your GitHub/RStudio link to adding datasets to the package to submitting a pull request to merge your fork with this repo.
-
The first screencast will walk you through the process of forking the data_hunter repo and cloning your fork to your computer using the
usethis
package. -
The second screencast shows you how everything is organized and how to add a dataset to the package. This will include syntax and naming conventions that are required in order for the data to be merged with OpenIntro and/or USData.
-
The final screencast will show you how to submit a pull request via
usethis
in RStudio and how to keep your repo up to date throughout the process. After we have collectively reached 6 new data sets, I will submit a pull request toopenintro
and/orusdata
to have the data sets merged into those packages. Note that theopenintro
andusdata
packages will not necessarily be updated on the CRAN every time we merge with them. -
Please DO NOT edit the description or namespace files.
FOR THOSE WITHOUT EXPERIENCE IN R AND/OR GITHUB
If you would like to learn how to use R and/or GitHub, please send me an email.
If you would like to contribute without learning R or GitHub, please email your data sets in csv format.
