R guidelines

• Please make use of our template for R-scripts
• No magic. Use command line parameters to indicate clearly input and output of script
• Avoid the use of global variables from within functions (e.g. with <<-)
• Functions should have only one task
• Use tabs for indentation, not spaces
• Use '=' for assignments, not '<-'
• If main code is in main.R, put its functions in main_functions.R
• Please note our guidelines for documentation and tests
• Always use < and <=, not >
• See also Google's R-style guide
  • E.g. FunctionName, file_name.R, variable.name
