Reproducibility

This project uses renv to manage R package dependencies. To reproduce the analysis environment:

# install.packages("renv")  # if not already installed
renv::restore()

This will install all required packages at the exact versions recorded in renv.lock (R 4.5.2).

Scripts are intended to be run from the project root directory.
