Design Philosophy

Some main points on the design:

• All UI elements in Python (Qt).
• All computations in R.
• All calls to R must be executed via the meta_py_r.py interface; no other module should ever reference R directly

Data structures

Covariates.

A list of Covariate objects will live on the dataset. Each study will contain a dictionary mapping covariate names to values (i.e., the value of said covariate for the associated study).
