mason: Build a (results from analyses) structure like a mason
In lwjohnst86/mason: Build Data Structures for Common Statistical Analysis

Easily run common statistical analyses and build them into a form that can easily be plotting or made into a table. Many parts of mason use dplyr::dplyr() functions, which makes the analysis fast and allows it to be put into a magrittr::magrittr() pipe chain.

The final, scrub()'ed version of the analysis is in a 'tidy' format, meaning it is already in a form to send to ggplot2 or created into a table using the pander package or with knitr::kable(). It also allows further processing with dplyr and tidyr.

One of the main goals of mason is to make it easy to implement other analyses in a consistent syntax and structure. Like in architecture, construction, and engineering, data analysis projects follow a similar workflow, where there is a design phase, a construction phase, and a final scrubbing/cleaning/polishing phase, with some back and forth as construction continues. mason tries to emulate this pattern.
