In VLangV/RTutorClimateChange: RTutor problem set RTutorClimateChange

This package constitutes an interactive R problem set based on the RTutor package (https://github.com/skranz/RTutor).

Description: The aim of this R-Tutor set is to measure farmer adaptation to climate change in the United States. Therefore, agricultural and climatic data from 1950-2000 were analyzed to measure adaptation to extreme heat in corn production.

1. Installation

RTutor and this package is hosted on Github. To install everything, run the following code in your R console.

install.packages("RTutor",repos = c("https://skranz-repo.github.io/drat/",getOption("repos")))

if (!require(devtools))
  install.packages("devtools")

devtools::install_github("VLangV/RTutorClimateChange")

2. Show and work on the problem set

To start the problem set first create a working directory in which files like the data sets and your solution will be stored. Then adapt and run the following code.

library(RTutorClimateChange)

# Adapt your working directory to an existing folder
setwd("C:/problemsets/RTutorClimateChange")
# Adapt your user name
run.ps(user.name="Jon Doe", package="RTutorClimateChange",
       auto.save.code=TRUE, clear.user=FALSE)

If everything works fine, a browser window should open, in which you can start exploring the problem set.
