mason
use
dplyr
functions, which makes the analysis fast and
allows it to be put into a magrittr
pipe chain.The final, scrub
'ed version of the analysis is in a 'tidy'
format, meaning it is already in a form to send to
ggplot
or created into a table using
pander
, kable
, or
dust
. It also allows further processing with
dplyr
and tidyr
.
mason
is to make it easy to implement other
analyses in a consistent syntax and structure. Like in architecture,
construction, and engineering, data analysis projects follow a similar
workflow, where there is a design phase, a construction phase, and a final
scrubbing/cleaning/polishing phase, with some back and forth as construction
continues. mason
tries to emulate this pattern.
