Cleanup/consistency list

[m-clark]

Bigger changes

• All chapters should have key ideas, why this matters, good to know, where to go, wrapping up sections (and exercises if appropriate); reference per chapter to be determined (Add references for every chapter/section #17)
• All chapters/sections (at least level 2) need to be linkable and linked throughout the text (Add references for every chapter/section #17)
• Add content to preface/acknowledgments/misc models
• Gather references #19
• Spelling/typo checks

Data

• Data needs to be linked. Possibly early on like even in preface.
• There should be only one version of a single data source being when possible (e.g. not one with and without some features)
• add statistical detail to dataset descriptions

Potential Content Trimming

• Merge overlapping content
  • LM and model exploration chapter
  • Data, and ML other models chap, and misc models chap
• ML concepts gets pretty deep, could trim a lot there
• Could remove what amounts to a demo chapter in the intro
• Could remove some appendix content (matrix, nix simulation, bayes)
• Drop some deeper code examples (e.g. estimation beyond the estimation chapter may need to be nixed for length. Just comment out.
• LM Part needs consistency update

Code

• code needs to be cleaned/made consistent between SB and MC
  • R:
  • No <- assignment for R code
  • 4 space indent?
  • Py:
  • uglify to Pep standards
  • Other?
  • General:
  • No more than 80 char for pdf
  • !! Make sure the printed code runs as is !!

Tables & Figures

• Make sure all figures and tables are linkable/cross-referenceable (title case tables and plots)
• Make sure no labels have underscores (latex can't handle it)
• Make sure no gt tables use color (latex can't handle it)

Other that needs to be done

• Add simulation demo/discussion if space permits
• Chapter title/section casing (use css if possible)
• Dataset descriptions
• bold should be key words, italics just for emphasis
• Save out figures as separate files if not already. Preferably svg.
• Move programming discussion in ML to a general one in Part 3 or appendix. Trim discussion in intro?
• 'Part' placement in pdf TOC quarto-dev/quarto-cli#7856
• Fix missing crossref

Lesser issues

• Want to remove chapter specific folders. keep everything in just data, img.
• All the graphical models need separate dot files and looks the same
• All chunks should be named
• Change out \newpage with {{< pagebreak >}}
