About

This site details the steps taken to clean, transform and merge UNIDO INDSTAT4 Rev 3 and INDSTAT4 Rev 4 output data series with the Trade Production and Protection Database. All data wrangling code and this website were written by Cynthia Huang, with supervision from Dr. Laura Puzzello.

Code Validility

• Many of the data wrangling functions written include checks to ensure that the transformation was performed accurately – e.g. no rows were lost during splits etc.
• These checks were written using unit-testing functionality from version 2.3.2 of the testthat package. At that time, only failed tests returned console output.
• However, as of version 3.0.2, any successful test results in default output Test passed :). These messages can be suppressed (see stackoverflow discussion), and do not impact the processing of the data in any way.
• For future reference, it is recommended that verification is performed using data assertion checks from packages like assertr, instead of testthat functions which are designed for unit-testing R packages.
