Due: October 6, 5 PM

This homework is ‘simple’.

For the final project in this class, you will work with a dataset of your choosing. Possible datasets include the ants data, the surveys or this week’s data, the crabs (MS students and H-Option see below). In the final project, you will write three functions in R in a little R package.

This week, I’m asking you to commit to one dataset. For this dataset, make a dictionary (New file -> Text file) telling a reader what each column is. If you have too many columns to do this, let me know and we’ll work it out. Save this dictionary as a text file in your data directory.

Add, commit and push your dictionary and selected datafile to GitHub. Verify visually that this worked. I will look at these online after the homework is due.

MS and H-Option

Your R package will be five functions. You’ll be using a dataset from your research. If you’re still having issues choosing a dataset, please see me this week so we can set a timeline to get a dataset selected.
