Readme	GM-UAW Cohort Study	Kevin Chen	July 2, 2020

This repository contains the relevant code for loading and reshaping the UAW-GM Cohort data in the R programming environment. The main scripts are found in the directory named wrangling. Sourcing 00-hello.R will source all relevant scripts in the directory in the correct order.

Once sourced, the user will have access to the original cohort data dta, a cleaned up version cohort, and all the necessary functions for setting up a "long" analytic file for common epidemiologic analyses. The function get.cohort_analytic() returns an analytic dataset starting at hire and ending with death. Use flags such as right.censored and immortal to select the correct rows, as deemed appropriate.
