targets-refactor

This is a simple example research compendium to practice refactoring a project to use targets. To refactor this project to use targets :

1. run targets::use_targets() to set up some infrastructure
2. turn the analysis scripts into functions saved in .R files in a R/ folder
3. edit _targets.R to load necessary packages
4. edit _targets.R to write analysis steps as targets with tar_target()
5. check workflow with tar_manifest() and tar_visnetwork()
6. run workflow with tar_make()
7. possibly debug functions and targets workflow

Bonus challenge exercise:

Create a report.Rmd or report.Qmd document that includes plots and the ANOVA results and render it in the targets pipeline with tar_render() or tar_quarto().
