/DS4SI-Tool
- /R
  - functions.R: various functions that are used multiple times
  - ggplot_settings.R: color and theme settings for ggplot
  - score_generalizability.RData: pre-defined score_generalizability() function to be loaded by global.R. This is an .RData file because it contains an underlying empirical distribution
  - score_casuality.RData: pre-defined score_casuality() function to be loaded by global.R
- /data/jpta.csv: dataset of the population of sites
- /markdowns: contains all the body text across the pages
- /www/custom_css.css: custom CSS that gives the tool its look and feel
- global.R: pre-created R objects that are accessible by both ui.R and server.R
- server.R: the server side calculations
- ui.R: the UI of the tool
/R
- generate_site_selection_data.R: generates the jpta.csv dataset
- score_generalizibility.R: generates score_generalizability.RData
- score_causality.R: generates score_causality.RData
- reconstruct_sample.R: script to reconstruct the choices the users made to generate their sample
