Set up an investigation

Instructions

  1. Create a folder in scratch/ with the format {YYYY-MM-DD}-{descriptive-name}. You will mainly work inside this folder.
  2. Create a README.md in this folder where you will:
    1. Describe the task.
    2. Take background notes for context.
    3. Create a task list for progress tracking.
    4. Summarize results and outcomes.
  3. Create scripts and testing data files in this folder to conduct an empirical investigation.
  4. For multi-step investigations with sub-experiments, consider generating individual markdown files to take interediate notes.
  5. The README.md should contain actionable findings to support a subsequent implementation or design decision.

Best practices

  • Both for this library and other ones, it's worth writing a simple script or calling the library interactively to list its members or try out different constructions to explore the API and document it in a markdown file called API.md.
  • Generate figures when applicable (e.g., plots, data visualizations) and reference them inline in the markdown files.
