As a pipeline toolkit for Statistics and data science in R,
the targets package brings together
function-oriented programming and Make-like declarative pipelines.
It analyzes the dependency relationships among the tasks of a workflow,
skips steps that are already up to date, runs the necessary
computations with optional parallel workers, abstracts files as
R objects, and provides tangible evidence that the results match
the underlying code and data. The methodology in this package
borrows from GNU Make (2015, ISBN:978-9881443519)
and drake (2018, doi:10.21105/joss.00550).
