Examples

This package includes a couple of vignettes. Once installed, write vignette("dogesr") to check what’s available. Also

• vignette("doges-family-types") for how to use the family types data set
• vignette("doges-terms") to analyze the amount of time the doges lived/ruled using data provided in this package.
• vignette("doges-social-network") to get the marriage social network of doges and parents, and make some initial exploration.
• vignette("counting-doge-families") to work with a table of the families doges belonged to and how many times they actually “made doge”

Work with data

Data in its original format is stored in the data-raw directory. If you change that data anyhow, type make to rebuild the R data files (contained in the data ) directory.

Any further change (columns and some such) will also need modification of the documentation at the man directory.
