create definitive source of various datasets

As I go through the figures, it's becoming clear that we need a single definitive source for several datasets.

Example: the museum visit length data from Fig 4.10 + others.

It needs to exist in one single location, probably in short and tall form.

This underscores how nice it would be to create a companion nbr or cmeg data package, even if it's data we have simulated that behaves like the original data we see in these figures.

Then, instead of copying the data around to multiple figure directories, we could just load it with a call to library(cmeg).

Side bonus: we could set factor levels sensibly.

So would all datasets be put into a cmeg data package or only the ones used more than once?

I suggest you extend your existing "data availability" table and report to cover this. Right now we know which figures rely on which datasets.

Yes, how many figures use the data is important. So is the amount of reshaping, factor fussing, etc.

The default setting should be "yes, include in the data package".
