Peer review of rakeR

Re: ropensci/software-review#251 (comment)

Hi @Robinlovelace
Would love to have your feedback on the package. I want the package to be a high level implementation of microsimulation (microsimulation for the masses!) that abstracts the underlying process as much as possible from the user. At the moment you simply pass in individual level data and constraint data and it does the rest. If @virgesmith 's neworder can fit in that paradigm, and if @virgesmith is happy for it to be included, I'd love to expand the algorithms available to rakeR.

Where do you think we should go from here? I have a bit of tidying up to do in the package (tests need revising, for example). Perhaps I should get those complete over the next few weeks and then we can look at getting it reviewed?

Good to hear from you, anyway!

Hi all I think Robin meant https://github.com/virgesmith/humanleague rather than https://github.com/virgesmith/neworder - the latter is the full dynamic modelling framework and is very much still a work-in-progress Humanleague implements IPF and my quasirandom sampling techniques (which can be used for multidimensional integerisation preserving the marginal totals) so seems a better fit. It’s been on CRAN since Dec 17… Happy for it to be included though Cheers, Andrew
