R Use Cases

Practical examples for querying, analyzing, and visualizing GJD data with R

Welcome

This section contains reproducible R examples that demonstrate how to work with the Green Jurisdiction Database (GJD). Each use case is a self-contained Quarto notebook (.qmd) that you can run locally.

What you’ll find here

  • Get Started — Everything you need to set up your environment and start running the examples.
  • Use Cases — Step-by-step notebooks covering real-world scenarios with GJD data.

How it works

Every example is written as a Quarto document. The R code inside each notebook actually executes when the site is built, so the outputs (tables, plots, statistics) are always up to date.

You can:

  1. Browse online — Read the rendered HTML pages right here.
  2. Clone and run — Clone the repo, open any .qmd file, and run it locally to reproduce the results.
  3. Adapt — Use the examples as templates for your own analysis.
