This github repo is for the dRy: Don't Repeat Yourself in R session for NICAR25. This session will cover iteration techniques in R to help maximize your efficiency when doing data analysis. We will cover importing multiple files at once, creating your own unique function, and creating parameterized reports instanteously.

We will be working with two datasets: one about Taylor Swift songs and one about event-correlated power outages across the United States.

• The Taylor data came from Kaggle.
• The power outages data came from data.gov.

And here's our playlist for this session on Spotify.

Packages for this session:

• tidyverse
• janitor
• quarto
• scales
