As your caching strategies get progressively more complicated, it's good idea to regularly clear out all your caches with `knitr::clean_cache()`.
I've used the advice of [David Robinson](https://twitter.com/drob/status/738786604731490304) to name these chunks: each chunked is named after the priamry object that it creates. This makes it easier to understand the `dependson` specification.

I have also not touched about what you should actually write in order to clearly communicate the results of your analysis. To improve your writing, I highly recommend reading either [_Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace_](https://amzn.com/0134080416) by Joseph M. Williams & Joseph Bizup, or [_The Sense of Structure: Writing from the Reader's Perspective_](https://amzn.com/0205296327) by George Gopen. Both books will help you understand the structure of sentences and paragraphs, and give you the tools to make your writing more clear. (These books are rather expensive if purchased new, but they're used by many English classes so there are plenty of cheap second-hand copies.) George Gopen also has a number of short articles on writing at <http://georgegopen.com/articles/litigation/>. They are aimed at lawyers, but almost everything applies to data scientists too.
