Data and Reproducibility Notes

This project uses relative file paths and a structured folder system. This makes the work easier to share, rerun, and maintain.

Recommended practices:

  • Do not edit raw data files directly
  • Keep all raw datasets in Raw Data/
  • Save processed files in Outputs/
  • Use clear and consistent file names
  • Use RStudio Projects to keep paths stable
  • Comment code where needed
  • Keep analysis steps in a logical order

All datasets used in the course are simulated, fictitious, or instructional only. They are intended for teaching data management concepts, not for drawing real-world research conclusions.
