Summary
- / kableExtra / gt for publication tables, ggplot2 / iplot / binsreg for figures.
- Companion skills : this is the R sibling of 00-StatsPAI_skill (Python DSL), 00.1-Full-empirical-analysis-skill (explicit Python), and 00.2-Full-empirical-analysis-skill_Stata (Stata .do ).
- All four implement the same 8 steps, in their respective ecosystems.
- Philosophy Tidyverse + fixest, the modern R idioms. feols(... | unit + year, cluster = ~unit) , not Frankenstein-y lm(y ~ x + factor(unit) + factor(year)) .
- Reproducible scripts / Quarto.
- Every example below is paste-runnable. renv for package locking; Quarto ( .qmd ) for combined narrative + code + tables/figures. 8 steps, first-class.
- R users historically over-invest in Step 5; this skill treats Steps 1–4 and 6–8 as core.
- Rich outputs.
- Every step yields at least one table or figure — tex/docx/png/pdf.
- Progressive disclosure.
