The goal of this homework is to have you read the description of project 0, read in the data successfully and play around with the data a bit by making some tables and figures that you think are useful for generating questions for the investigator. Generate questions for the investigator. By the next class you want to see if you understand what the variables mean and do you think you understand how the variables will start to map to an analysis that answers the question of interest.
Read Project 0.
Create version controlled and documented code called DataClean.SAS or DataClean.R in the Code directory of Project 0 that successfully reads in the dataset for analysis. The output of this code probably a SAS (or R) dataset in your Project0Data folder in the Repositories/DATA folder.
Create version controlled and documented code called Descriptives.SAS or Descriptives.R in the Code directory of Project 0 that succesfully creates some interesting output (maybe even put into a Table or 2!) and graphs for posting and sharing in the Reports folder of Project 0.
Create a set of questions for the investigator in the Docs folder of Project 0 for viewing by others. We will put together all our questions in class and try to get answers for as many as possible. Please print out your questions with your name on top and hand in to Nichole on Monday.
This part is 1/5th of the module total (1/5th of 15%). For the last 3 items above the following metric will be used to assess your progress on doing analysis for Project 0.
(0 points) No credit: Didn’t do the assigment.
(1 points) Created code/document but it’s not documented and version control not used.
(2 points) Created code/document and it’s documented but not version controlled (or we have no evidence of version control).
(3 points) Created code/document and it’s documented and version controlled.
