Introduction
Motivation
Literature: Surprisingly, there is not much literature about workflow of statistical data analysis:
• J. Scott Long; The Workflow of Data Analysis Using Stata,
Stata Press, 2009
• Friedrich Leisch; Sweave User Manual
• Nicola Sartori; Sweave = R · LATEX2
• Scott Chacon; Pro Git
• Ben Collins-Sussman, Brian W. Fitzpatrick, C. Michael
Pilato; Version Control with Subversion
