TAF-package {TAF}R Documentation

Transparent Assessment Framework for Reproducible Research

Description

Functions to organize data, methods, and results used in scientific analyses. A TAF analysis consists of four scripts ('data.R', 'model.R', 'output.R', 'report.R') that are run sequentially. Each script starts by reading files from a previous step and ends with writing out files for the next step.

Convenience functions are provided to version control the required data and software, run analyses, clean residues from previous runs, manage files, manipulate tables, and produce figures. With a focus on stability and reproducible analyses, TAF is designed to have no package dependencies.

TAF forms a base layer for the [icesTAF](https://cran.r-project.org/package=icesTAF) package and other scientific applications.

Details

Initial TAF steps:

draft.data draft DATA.bib file
draft.software draft SOFTWARE.bib file
period paste period string for DATA.bib
taf.boot set up data files and software
taf.skeleton create empty TAF template

Running scripts:

clean clean TAF directories
clean.boot clean boot directory
make run R script if needed
make.all run all TAF scripts as needed
make.taf run TAF script if needed
msg show message
source.all run all TAF scripts
source.taf run TAF script

File management:

convert.spaces convert spaces
cp copy files
mkdir create directory
os.linux operating system
os.macos operating system
os.windows operating system
read.taf read TAF table from file
source.dir read all *.R files
taf.boot.path construct path to boot folder
taf.data.path construct path to boot data files
taf.library load package from TAF library
taf.unzip unzip file
write.taf write TAF table to file

Tables:

div divide column values
flr2taf convert FLR to TAF
long2taf convert long format to TAF
long2xtab convert long format to crosstab
plus rename plus group column
rnd round column values
sam2taf convert SAM to TAF
taf2html convert TAF to HTML
taf2long convert TAF to long format
taf2xtab convert TAF to crosstab
tt transpose TAF table
xtab2long convert crosstab to long format
xtab2taf convert crosstab to TAF

Plots:

lim compute axis limits
taf.colors predefined colors
taf.png open PNG graphics device
zoom change lattice text size

Example tables:

catage.long long format
catage.taf TAF format
catage.xtab crosstab format
summary.taf summary results

Administrative tools, rarely used in scripts:

clean.data clean boot data
clean.library clean TAF library
clean.software clean TAF software
deps list dependencies
detach.packages detach all packages
dos2unix convert line endings
download download file
download.github download repository
file.encoding examine file encoding
get.remote.sha look up SHA code
is.r.package check if file is an R package
latin1.to.utf8 convert file encoding
line.endings examine line endings
read.bib read metadata entries
rmdir remove empty directory
taf.install install package in TAF library
taf.libPaths add TAF library to search path
taf.session show session information
taf.sources list metadata entries
unix2dos convert line endings
utf8.to.latin1 convert file encoding
