Setup

1. Clone this repository

If you are viewing this file on GitHub's website, you clone this repository using the "Clone or download" button above. Otherwise use whatever mechanism you like to obtain a local copy of this repository).

2. Obtain the Norwegian survey data

Due to privacy concerns, the Norwegian survey data cannot be distributed alongside the R code in this repository. You need to obtain the Norwegian survey data and place it in the correct location. The files you need are called:

• Quiz-1-data.xlsx
• Quiz-2-data.xlsx
• Quiz-3-data.xlsx
• Quiz-4-data.xlsx

and they can be obtained from Harvard Dataverse at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/R3DHA5.

Place these files in the inst/extdata/ directory of your local clone of this git repository (i.e., the result of step 1, above). Please follow whatever restrictions are placed on your use of those files. You can then proceed by installing the package and running the analysis, as described below.

3. Installing the package and running the analysis

If you use RStudio, ensure you have the devtools package installed, open the fhi.ihc.norway.2019.Rproj file and use the devtools::install_deps function to install the dependencies. (If you do not use RStudio, follow whatever steps are necessary to install a local R package.)

4. Running the analysis

You should then be able to run the analysis by knitting the ihc-norway-analysis.Rmd file in the vignettes directory. This will generate a Word document with all results, and will also save publication-ready figures to that directory. Note that some figures in the generated Word file may not display nicely due to the typical annoyances of scaling RMarkdown graphics. For such figures, simply refer to the files that are saved to disk. (Figures from the most recent run of the analysis are included in the repository.)
