What do you do with "check all that apply" data?
A) Ignore it
B) Toss it into "Other"
C) Hope for the best
D) Use CATAcode
We built an R package to make life easier. CATAcode helps researchers visualize, document, and prep CATA items for modeling.

You've heard of the many analysts projects, right?
Scholars give the same dataset/question to a bunch of researchers & they still get different answers.
Why is that?
Data cleaning!
This is consistent with Gelman's "garden of forking paths." Small coding decisions often drive results.
