Here, I demonstrate how custom reports about the success of reproduction of a document can be generated within a markdown document. To illustrate, we first create three chunks using the code chunk type `reproducibleR` of which the first two reproduce just fine while not all variables of the third chunk reproduce. Finally, we generate custom reports.
# Styling of chunk-level reports
The following code defines a new format for the chunk-level reports based on HTML/CSS. We
draw a thin dashed line as border and fill the box with a light gray color. Last, we
change the title.
```{r}
options(reproducibleRchunks.templates = list(
html="
Reproducibility Checks
${content}
"))
```
Next, we define some `reproducibleR` chunks of which some contain reproducible and some non-reproducible parts.
# Cereals
In this first example we work with the `UScereal` data set from the
`MASS` package. The chunk loads the data, runs an analysis of variance
on calorie content by manufacturer and prints the summary of the
model.
```{reproducibleR cereal}
cereal_data <- MASS::UScereal
model <- anova(lm(calories~mfr, cereal_data))
summary(model)
```
# Linear Model
The next chunk demonstrates a simple linear regression. We use the
`Animals` data from `MASS` to predict brain weight from body weight and
print the model summary.
```{reproducibleR lm}
animals <- MASS::Animals
model2 <- lm(brain~body, animals)
summary(model2)
```
# Random Numbers
The following chunk contains some fixed numbers and numbers that are randomly
drawn without setting a seed. Because the random numbers change from run to
run, the chunk mixes reproducible and non-reproducible behaviour and serves as
an example of how such situations are reported.
```{reproducibleR random}
fixed_numbers <- 1:10
numbers <- rnorm(10, mean = 0, sd = 1)
```
# Report
After the chunks above have been executed,
`reproducibleRchunks` stores metadata about all created variables. The
following code demonstrates how to extract and summarise this
information. We start by counting the total number of variables that
did not reproduce correctly:
```{r echo=TRUE, eval=TRUE}
num_errors <- reproducibleRchunks::get_num_reproducibility_errors()
ifelse(num_errors > 0,"There were some results that did not reproduce!","The entire document reproduced succesfully")
```
The second function `get_reproducibility_summary()` generates a table that can either be used to inspect details about the reproduction status of each variable in each chunk, or to compute further summaries from. First, we obtain the table:
```{r}
repro_table <- reproducibleRchunks::get_reproducibility_summary()
knitr::kable(repro_table)
```
Next, we summarise the table by chunk and create a bar plot that visualises the proportion of successful reproductions.
```{r fig.width=6, fig.height=3}
if (nrow(repro_table) > 0) {
prop_success <- aggregate(Success ~ Chunk, data = repro_table, FUN = mean)
barplot(prop_success$Success,
names.arg = prop_success$Chunk,
ylim = c(0, 1),
ylab = "Relative Proportion",
xlab = "Chunk",
main = "Proportion of Successful Reproductions per Chunk")
} else {
print("No reproducibility information available yet.")
}
```
