Jenny Bryan's Stat 454 guide on effective function writing is a good starting point.

Summary

As part of the handover for future GSS committee members, as well as other areas where this work is applicable, package this algorithm up into an accessible layer for others to use.

This is accounting for the fact that not everyone knows how to code, let alone code in R, hence putting an layer on top in the form of an app will make this algorithm more accessible and henceforth more likely for others to use it.

More efficient implementation of the algorithm.

Also, this data structure (long-format on delegates) is how we obtain the data.

Investigate the use of setting environment variables as specified here.

Investigate the application of graph theory for this.

Hello, I have exactly zero experience with R, but I'd like to use this project. What is the easiest way I could run it? I found that I need to put my data into dummy_student_preferences.csv (or change the reference in scripts/main.R), but how do I run the project then? When I run R in the project directory, the dependencies are installed, but that's it...
Thanks a lot
