R packages

The file load_packages.R lists all necessary R packages.

Note that for MacOS users, installing the Cairo package requires prior installation of https://xquartz.org.

Fonts

In order to replicate the figures as in the main text, the report explicitly calls for the “Libre Franklin” font. If it is not available, change it for a font that is available in the system that is performing the replication, or leave it empty for the default.

Libre Franklin is available at https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Libre+Franklin.
