(2019). [Making the connection: Broadband access and\n\u003e online course enrollment at public open admissions\n\u003e institutions](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11162-018-9539-6). _Research\n\u003e in Higher Education_, 60(7), 960–999.  \n\n# Requirements\n\nTo run the core analyses, you will need the following programs on your\nmachine (tested on MacOS):\n\n1. [R](https://cran.r-project.org)  \n2. [CmdStan](https://mc-stan.org/users/interfaces/cmdstan)  \n3. [Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/)  \n4. [git](https://git-scm.com)  \n5. [sqlite](https://www.sqlite.org/index.html)  \n\nTo build all data, including broadband databases, you will need\n[unar](https://theunarchiver.com/command-line) to unpack the large\ncompressed files. The easiest way to get it is with\n[homebrew](https://brew.sh): \n\n```bash\nbrew install unar\n```\n\nYou can also use Homebrew to update Bash, git, and sqlite if you want,\nthough that shouldn't be necessary a relatively modern machine.\n\nTo replicate analysis and tables, clone or download the repository,\nand choose one of the following methods:\n\n## Makefile\n\nIf your machine has make, simply run the makefile from the terminal\n\n```bash\nmake\n```\n\nThis makefile will   \n1. download and install all required R packages  \n2. download all required data files  \n3. build/clean data  \n4. run analyses  \n5. knit tables/figures  \n\n### OPTIONS\n\nAt the top of the makefile, adjust the settings to best your\nmachine. The defaults should work for most users:\n\n```bash\n# --- settings -----------------------------------\n\n# set to https or ssh (probably https for most)\ngit_type := https\n\n# cores (used when building cmdstan)\ncores := 4\n```\n\n## Piecemeal\n\nYou can you can also run the scripts one by one. You will need to:\n\n1. Get the data files listed in `./data/README.md`  \n2. Build Broadband database using scripts in `./scripts/bash`  \n\n```bash\ncd ./scripts/bash\n./make_bb.sh ../../data/broadband/zip ../../data/broadband .\n```\n\n3. Download required R packages, found in `get_packages.R`  \n4. Clean IPEDS using `clean_ipeds.R`  \n5. Clean Broadband using `clean_bb.R`  \n6. Clean data using `clean_data.R`  \n7. Download and build\n   [CmdStan](https://mc-stan.org/users/interfaces/cmdstan)  \n8. Compile `*.stan` model scripts  \n9. Run analyses using `./scripts/bash/run_stan.sh`  \n\n```bash\n# example call (assuming in ./scripts/bash directory)\n./run_stan.sh ../stan/sl_normal ../../data/cleaned sl_normal full ../../output both ../r\n```\n\n10. Make figures using `make_figures.R`  \n11. Knit tables and figures document using `table_figures.Rnw`\n\n**NB** Most R scripts assume command line arguments. If you are not using\nmakefile or calling from the command line, you will need to replace\n`args` object with a vector of the proper paths indicated in the files.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbtskinner%2Foa_online_broadband_rep","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbtskinner%2Foa_online_broadband_rep","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbtskinner%2Foa_online_broadband_rep/lists"}
