Software Description
The data in this study was analyzed using R (version 4.1.1), which was executed via R notebooks on JupyterLab (3.2.3). The analysis code imports several R packages available on CRAN, including dplyr (1.0.10), ggplot2 (3.4.0), xtable (1.8-4), aws.s3 (0.3.22), glmnet (4.1.2), and estimatr (1.0.0). We also developed a custom R package to read, process, and analyze data that will be included in the software package.
