There is a bit of an overlap between **03_Transform.R** and **04_Analyze.R** as it is often an iterative process. Both files can be merged into one, but it can be useful to have some time-consuming transformations in a separate script and have the results handy. |

All the results from the analyses should be saved as-is without transformation, so that every result can be used in the Rmd. |
