# Analyzing Data, the DataMade Way

**⚠️ Deprecation warning**: *This documentation no longer represents DataMade's current best practices for data analysis. For contemporary guidance on data analysis, refer to the [`how-to`](https://github.com/datamade/how-to/tree/master/data-analysis) repo.*

You've [_extracted_ and _transformed_ the data](https://github.com/datamade/data-making-guidelines).

Now it's time to _load_ (analyze) it. Here, you'll find the principles that

inform DataMade's approach to data analysis, as well as the tools and

organizational practices that make it possible.

## Principles

DataMade's approach to data analysis combines [our principles for making data](https://github.com/datamade/data-making-guidelines#basic-principles)

with the basic principles of [literate programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming).

Namely, data analysis should:

1. be **reproducible** with one command.

2. be conducted using **standard tools**.

3. be kept under **version control**.

4. **prioritize legibility** to other humans.
