At the end of this lesson you will be able to: Organize a data analysis Use appropriate file naming Develop and apply a coding style Distinguish raw from processed data Apply the chain of custody model for data Organizing a data analysis This week we will focus on organizing a data analysis from high level to low level. An important thing to keep in mind is that this is *one* system for doing this, it is not the *only* system for data analysis organization. The key idea here is just to be consistent in everything you do - from folder structure, to file names, to data columns, and more. This will slow you down a bit as you do your analysis! That's ok! You will more than make up for the time somewhere down the line when you have to repeat or reproduce an analysis. As Karl Broman
