Worked examples

Worked examples: the reproducible analysis behind every lesson

Every lesson we publish has a chapter called "the worked example". This is that document. Real data, the analysis that produced every number on screen, the source you can re-run, and the limits of what each method can tell you.

Why we publish these

An analysis you cannot check is an opinion. Each document derives its figures live rather than quoting them, cross-checks against the reference implementation where one exists, and records what the review caught, including when the thing it caught was our own mistake.
