Summary

Two data sets were collected. Data set 1 involved 117 dog-owner pairs from Lincoln, Nebraska, USA between Nov 2018 - Jul 2021. Data set 2 involved 103 dog-owner pairs from Lincoln, Nebraska, USA between Aug 2020 - Oct 2021. In the first data file, each row represents behavioral and survey responses from a single dog. In the second data file, each row represents the responses of a single owner for a particular survey scale.

Installation

To reproduce these results, first clone or unzip the Git repository into a folder. Then, ensure that a subfolder named “figures” is in the folder. Next, open stevens_etal_2022_rcode.R in RStudio or another R interface and ensure that all packages mentioned at the top of the script are installed. Once all packages are installed, run the script in R using source("stevens_etal_2022_rcode.R").

Once the script runs without errors, you can compile the R Markdown document stevens_etal_2022.Rmd. Open this file in RStudio and ensure that you have packages {knitr} and {rmarkdown} installed. Once installed, use {knitr} to render the document (control-shift-K). Use the same process to render stevens_etal_2022_SM.Rmd.
