ProjectTemplate is a system for automating the thoughtless parts of a data analysis project:

• Organizing the files in your project.
• Loading all the R packages you’ll use.
• Loading all of your data sets into memory.
• Munging and preprocessing your data into a form that’s suitable for analysis.

In addition to automating the drudge work of analyzing data, ProjectTemplate hopes to promote better coding and analysis practices by:

• Curating the best R packages.
• Providing simple tools for keeping a log of your work
• Providing template code for:
  • Data diagnostics
  • Data munging
  • Code profiling
  • Unit testing
