In the previous chapter, you completed your data analysis and selected the optimal course of action for the Shu army. With this decision in place, the time has come for you to share your strategy with the Shu forces. The initial step towards communicating your vision to the masses is to revisit the work that you have done up to this point.
In this chapter, we will focus on reorganizing and clarifying our prior analyses such that they can be easily followed by and communicated to others. This will render our work intelligible to a large audience, even if it is composed of members who do not have the exceptional level of expertise in data analysis, military strategy, statistics, and R that you do. Along the way, you will learn the common steps that you can apply to all of your future analyses in R.
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:
- Organize and clarify your raw R data analyses
- Communicate your raw R data analyses effectively
- Apply the steps common to all well-conducted R analyses
For demonstration purposes, it will be assumed that a fire attack was chosen as the optimal battle strategy. Throughout this segment, we will retrace the steps that lead us to this decision. Meanwhile, we will make sure to organize and clarify our analyses so they can be easily communicated to others.
Note
Note that at the end of this chapter, you will be challenged to repeat these steps with the strategy that you devised in Chapter 6. However, if you feel comfortable using your own battle plans from the start, you are encouraged to do so.
Suppose we determined our fire attack will take place 225 miles away in Anding, which houses 10,000 Wei soldiers. We will deploy 2,500 soldiers for a period of 7 days and assume that they are able to successfully execute the plans. Let us return to the beginning to develop this strategy with R in a clear and concise manner.
