Data and Code
Access to the data and sample code for textual analysis.
All data and code for replicating the studies presented in Literary Mathematics are available in two R packages that can be downloaded from Github.
All functions are available in the litmath R package.
All data is stored in a separate package, called litmathdata R package.
Downloading and working with the data
All analysis in Literary Mathematics was performed using the R Program for Statistical Computing and in RStudio. For now, all supporting data and code are available only as R packages. Readers who hope to replicate the analysis or to explore on their own must first download both R and R Studio.
To download R, visit The R Project for Statistical Computing.
To download RStudio, visit the RStudio website (soon to be renamed posit.co).
After downloading both programs, open RStudio and enter the following commands into the console:
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("michaelgavin/litmath@main")
install_github("michaelgavin/litmathdata@main")
The litmathdata package may take a few moments to download, depending on the speed of your connection. Once both have been downloaded, you’ll be good to go. You can begin by going through the chapter walkthroughs, which are available on this site and in the litmath package itself, or through any of the tutorials.
