Files included in this archive

README.txt

This file.

CF_functions.R

Miscellaneous functions common to both sets of analyses. This file is loaded by the others.

CF_Growth_Cross_Sectional_Fitter.R

R script to fit the cross-sectional model. This file can be executed directly to analyze a single sex/trait combination or via Rscript in a batch.

CF_Growth_Longitudinal_Fitter.R

R script to fit the longitudinal model. This file can be executed directly to analyze a single sex/trait combination or via Rscript in a batch.

longitudinal_model.stan

Stan code for the longitudinal model. Used by CF_Growth_Longitudinal_Fitter.R

xs_model.stan

Stan code for the cross-sectional model. Used by CF_Growth_Cross_Sectional_Fitter.R

XS_Longitudinal_Comparison.Rmd

Rmarkdown file that carries out post-processing on the samples for each of the sex/trait combinations. This file can be rendered using only the outputs saved in Generated_Data and Generated_Data_XS (without re-sampling the models).

Data/DL_Priors.xlsx

Contains the double logistic model priors

Generated_Data

The stan samples for the longitudinal models, with four files per sex/trait (one for each chain).

Generated_Data_XS

The stan samples for the cross-sectional models. To reduce the file count, these files are already saved in Rds format after combining the chains.
