Most appealing cities in the US to rent an Airbnb during the week

Introduction

Welcome to the 'most appealing cities in the US to rent an Airbnb during the week' repository. This README provides detailed instructions on how to use the contents in this repository for future use.

Example of reproducible research workflow

This is a basic example repository using Gnu make for a reproducible research workflow, as described in detail here: tilburgsciencehub.com.

The main aim of this to have a basic structure, which can be easily adjusted to use in an actual project. In this example project, the following is done:

1. Download and prepare data
2. Run some analysis
3. Present results in a final pdf generated using LaTeX

Dependencies

• R
• R packages: install.packages("stargazer")
• Gnu Make
• TeX distribution
• For the makefile to work, R, Gnu make and the TeX distribution (specifically pdflatex) need to be made available in the system path
• Detailed installation instructions can be found here: tilburgsciencehub.com

Notes

• make clean removes all unncessary temporary files.
• Tested under Linux Mint (should work in any linux distro, as well as on Windows and Mac)
• IMPORTANT: In makefile, when using \ to split code into multiple lines, no space should follow \. Otherwise Gnu make aborts with error 193.
• Many possible improvements remain. Comments and contributions are welcome!
