How to write a reproducible example

How to write a reproducible example.

You are most likely to get good help with your R problem if you provide a reproducible example. A reproducible example allows someone else to recreate your problem by just copying and pasting R code.

There are four things you need to include to make your example reproducible: required packages, data, code, and a description of your R environment.

  • Packages should be loaded at the top of the script, so it's easy to see which ones the example needs.

  • The easiest way to include data in an email is to use dput() to generate
