Reproduce the analysis

We typically publish graphics using Quarto notebooks, which can be found in the*.qmd files. Quarto allows reproducible analysis and visualisation to be done in a mix of languages, but we typically use R and Observable JS.

You'll need to:

• Download and install Quarto
• Download the install R
• Satisfy the R package dependencies. In R:
  • Install the renv package with install.packages("renv"),
  • Then run renv::restore() to install the R package dependencies.
  • (For problems satisfying R package dependencies, refer to Quarto's documentation on virtual environments.)

Now, render the .qmd files to the /out directory with:

quarto render
