$ git clone https://github.com/jmaburto/ex_USA_racial-ethnic_differences.gitand then execute each of the scripts (0 through 7) which will undertake sequential tasks like defining skeletons, to undertaking the PCLM, cleaning outputs for analysis, and data visualisation
- cfg relates to: configuration files
- dat relates to: input source data
- out relates to: output data, figures, and sensitivity analysis
- src relates to: code to replicate the wrangling, analysis and visualisation
- tmp relates to: a subdir to store temporary files
- ass relates to: a place to store repo assets
