33.1 Purpose

This appendix explains how the book should stay reproducible over time.

33.2 Reproducibility rules

• Keep source data and cleaned analysis data distinct.
• Render the book from the same source files used to write it.
• Record the assumptions behind each major estimate.
• Keep examples small enough to rerun without special setup.

33.3 Session information

When the book grows into a more complete manuscript, this page can hold the software session information used for the rendered examples and any package version notes that matter for reproducibility.

33.4 Workflow reminder

The code examples in the book are meant to be understandable first and optimized second. That makes the examples easier to review, audit, and adapt.
