I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate atPrinceton Data-Driven Social Science. I received a PhD in Government from Harvard University. I research redistricting, elections, and the uses and usability of census data. I am a founding member and co-PI of theALARM Project. In 2022, I was a fellow at theElection Law Clinic at Harvard Law School, where I developedRPV Near Me(source code).

This readme is mostly a table of contents for my GitHub repositories (and some others that I contribute to). For more information on my research, see mywebsite orCV. Find me onTwitter,Bluesky, orThreads.

These are packages that are stable and usable. They are on CRAN and in are in regular use.

These are packages that are actively under development and have not yet made it onto CRAN for one reason or another.

• Stable packages should give correct results, but may need a bit of work tightening up documentation or handling errors better.
• Mostly stable packages should give correct results, but have features left to implement or have R CMD Check issues.
• Experimental packages are entirely under development but willsomeday be good for wider use.
• No promises packages are also entirely under development but I make no guarantees to their usefulness, but hey itmight be better than nothing. Send me a tweet, email, or open an issue if you want to ask about specific features in these.

These are templates for journal submissions. These each modify a LaTeX template to let you write papers in a journal's submission style from Quarto or RMarkdown.

These are Quarto extensions which are not designed for submissions to academic journals.

These are non-template extensions that can be added to any Quarto document.

If there are otherpublic repos that aren't listed here that aren't forks, they are probably either newer than this Table of Contents, too small to be useful, not supported but I don't want to delete them, or course-related. If you see something that you're interested in knowing more about, send me a tweet or email or just open an issue in the repo.
