CRAN is awesome!
• For simple use cases
• When you’re not working on corporate / enterprise

• When you aren’t managing changes to packages
separately from changes to models

Reproducibility
• There is a crisis in
reproducibility in research
• A 2011 study found that 65%
of medical studies were
inconsistent when re-tested,
and only 6% were completely
reproducible.
• A new survey of 20-year-old
studies shows that poor
archives and inaccessible
authors make 90 percent of
raw data impossible to find
