How to get the workshop materials

Make this repo your own

You can click the green Use This Template button above to create a repo in your own GitHub account generated from these materials.

If you choose this route, you can open this project in RStudio by clicking on New Project > Version Control > Git and then paste the URL of the new repo in the dialogue box.

You could skip the dialog boxes and open the project directly with the usethis package:

usethis::create_from_github(
  "<your_github_acct>/materials",
  destdir = "~/Desktop/presentable-user2021"
)

Hint: replace <your_github_acct> with your GitHub user name and pick a comfortable destdir.

Just download the materials right now

If you'd rather just get the materials without using GitHub or Git in any way, you can also use the usethis package:

usethis::use_course("presentable-user2021/materials")

usethis will work with you to put the files somewhere reasonable, but you can also be explicit:

usethis::use_course(
  "presentable-user2021/materials",
  destdir = "~/Desktop/presentable-user2021"
)

Duke Lemur Center Data

In this course, we occasionally use data provided by the Duke Lemur Center. For more information, you may find the source data on the DLC webpage or in the following citation.

The data files we used were prepared by Jesse Mostipak and shared on Kaggle at https://www.kaggle.com/jessemostipak/duke-lemur-center-data. The scripts used to simplify the dataset for this workshop is available in this Kaggle R notebook.
