R coding for the generation of Nigeria Malaria Report. afro.who.int # Documentation for Nigeria Malaria Report 2022 code This code repository is for the Nigeria Malaria Report 2022. The code is written in R by Chunzhe ZHANG(sepmein\@gmail.com{.email}). The code is used to calculate, generate and plot the data and figures in the report. The code implement the reproducible rule, which means the code can be used to generate the same results with a single command. The main package to facilitate this approach is called `targets`. The code is written in modular way, which means the code is divided into several modules, each of which is responsible for a specific task. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Very brief introduction of the `targets` package The `targets` package is a pipeline toolkit for statistics and data science in R. It is designed to solve the problem of reproducibility in computational research, where the code and data are constantly changing. It is a powerful pipeline toolkit designed to improve the efficiency and reproducibility of data science and statistics workflows. It allows users to define a series of steps in their analysis, known as a pipeline, where later steps depend on the results of earlier ones. Each step is represented by a target. Here's a very brief overview of how it works: - Define Targets: Users define targets, which are the individual steps or units of work in the pipeline. A target can be a data transformation, statistical model, plot, etc. - Create a Pipeline: Once targets are defined, they are connected together to form a pipeline, where some targets depend on the outputs of others. - Run the Pipeline: When the user runs the pipeline, targets evaluates each target in the correct order, with respect to their dependencies, and stores the results. - Caching: One of the key features of targets is caching. Once a target has been built, its result is stored, or cached, so if you modify a part of your pipeline, only the affected targets will be re …
