The Data Cleaning & Codebook Kit

Your data is collected. Before a single test is run, this kit walks the file through a documented clean-up and ends with a codebook anyone could follow.

The workbook sets up how data is gathered and stored. The kit picks up the moment the raw file exists. About the workbook.
