Data Analysis
Run an end-to-end data analysis in R through 5 phases.
Phase 1: Setup and Data Loading
- Read R code conventions from
.claude/rules/r-code-conventions.md
- Create script with proper header (title, author, purpose, inputs, outputs)
- Load packages with
library() (never require())
- Set
set.seed() if stochastic elements are involved
- Load data using relative paths
Phase 2: Exploratory Data Analysis
- Summary statistics (mean, sd, min, max, N)
- Missingness patterns
- Distributions of key variables
- Bivariate relationships
- Time patterns (if panel data)
- Group comparisons
- Save diagnostics to
output/diagnostics/
Phase 3: Main Analysis
- Use
fixest for panel data with fixed effects (see /econometrics-r for detailed patterns)
- Use
lm/glm for cross-section
- Cluster standard errors appropriately
- Run multiple specifications (simple to complex)
- Report both statistical and economic significance
- For causal inference (IV, DiD, RDD), see
/causal-inference-r for diagnostics and modern estimators
- For spatial econometrics, see
/econometrics-r for spdep/spatialreg patterns
Phase 4: Publication-Ready Output
- Tables:
modelsummary (preferred) or stargazer, export as .tex and .html
- Figures:
ggplot2 with project theme, explicit dimensions, white background, 300 DPI
- Export figures as
.pdf and .png
Phase 5: Save and Review
saveRDS() for all computed objects
- Run r-reviewer agent on generated script
- Address Critical/High issues
Script Structure Template
library(tidyverse)
library(fixest)
library(modelsummary)
All scripts saved to scripts/R/, all outputs to output/.
