Suggested prerequisites

A short guide

Use reproducibility and versioning to make decisions inspectable. Create a data dictionary, script versions and run instructions. Read the indicated source section, identify its key concepts and conditions, and work through the example. Record inputs, sources, units and assumptions. Keep your method separate from the result, mark unanswered questions, and review the output against the checklist.
