A Reproducible Research Toolkit For R, Roger Peng

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

We present a collection of R packages for conducting and distributing reproducible research using R, Sweave, and LaTeX. The collection consists of the cacheSweave, stashR, and SRPM packages which allow for the caching of computations in Sweave documents and the distribution of those cached computations via remotely accessible key-value databases. We describe the caching mechanism used by the cacheSweave package and tools that we have developed for authors and readers for the purposes of creating and interacting with reproducible documents.
