Review Body

Reproducibility

Did you manage to reproduce it?
Fully Reproducible
Reproducibility rating
How much of the paper did you manage to reproduce?
10 / 10
Briefly describe the procedure followed/tools used to reproduce it

We downloaded the code and data from the given link. Then used R-Studio and opened the .rproj file. It was organized into .rmd files that were able to run without any problems and resulted in the same outcomes as in the Paper.

Briefly describe your familiarity with the procedure/tools used by the paper.

It was our first time working with R

Which type of operating system were you working in?
Windows Operating System
What additional software did you need to install?

RStudio

What software did you use

R Studio, R and some R Packages

What were the main challenges you ran into (if any)?

Setting up R took a while, but most problems were solved by working within RStudio

What were the positive features of this approach?

Everything ran smoothly, once the setup was done. The .rmd files where quite useful to have an overview of the expected results

Any other comments/suggestions on the reproducibility approach?

I would just recommend to immediately work with RStudio instead of trying to run it through the console.
