Due: October 11, 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. Place this dataset in the data directory of your Lastname_ProjectThree workspace. 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. Your grade will be based on having the dataset and dictionary in your GitHub repository.

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.
