Computational environment and reproducibility
All analyses were conducted in R version 4.3.0. To enhance reproducibility we used the targets and renv packages (36, 37). The targets package is a workflow and pipeline tool, while the renv package tracks the versioning of software dependencies. All code are available on GitHub (https://github.com/justlab/northeast_temperature_disparities). Data are downloaded automatically throughout the code, including for our temperature predictions, which can be found at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10557980.
