Hi all,
As a part of work flow, I do a lot of experiments and save all my results
into rData file...
i.e. at the end of all my experiments, I do
"save.image("experiment_name_with_series_number.rData")"...
However, some times even with the rData files, I cannot remember the
context where these data files were generated.
Of course, I can make the R data file names and the R script file names the
same, so that whenever I see a data file, I will be able to track down to
how the result file was generated.
This is fine. But sometimes a bunch of different results rData files were
generated simply from varying a parameter in the same R script file.
It's kind of messy to save different R script files with different names
when only parameters are different, and not to say if there are a bunch of
parameters that need to be put into file names...
Lets say I changed the parameters x to 0.123, y to -0.456, z to -999.99
Then I have to save the R script file as
"Experiment_001_x=0.123_y=-0.456_z=-999.99.r"
and the result file as "Experiment_001_x=0.123_y=-0.456_z=-999.99.rData"
...
This is kind of messy, isn't it?
Is there a way to save the whole script file (i.e. the context where the
data file is generated) into the rData file? It cannot be the file location
and/or file name of the R script file; it needs to be the whole content of
the file... to prevent the parameters change .. i.e. the same R script file
but with different combinations of parameters...
How to do that?
Any good tricks?
Thanks a lot!
