Package size is too large

[kevinwang09]

After adding the 2022 data, the package current exceeds 5MB. Resolutions:

1. Re-curate the 2022 data
2. Explore alternative data compression for the subset data creation. https://github.com/kevinwang09/learningtower/blob/master/inst/sampling.R

We can make the samples for each year smaller, to fix this.

@dicook, the installed package is about 5.1MB even after reducing the number of rows.
I suggest that we subset the data to just the OECD countries: https://www.oecd.org/en/about/members-partners.html.

That’s a reasonable approach

The use of factor column was the main cause of a large package size. After re-curation,

• We ensured that year and school_id are now integer and character columns.
• We subsetted the in-package data is limited to OECD countries. The full data remains intact.
