title: 'minex: Automatically Reduce Failing R Scripts to a Minimal Reproducible Example'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Shrinks a failing R script to the smallest subset of statements that still
  triggers the same error, using the delta debugging algorithm of Zeller and Hildebrandt
  (2002) <https://doi.org/10.1109/32.988498>. Each candidate reduction is evaluated
  in a separate R process, so dependencies between statements and their side effects
  are respected. The result is a one-minimal example, in which removing any remaining
  statement makes the error disappear; this is the form most useful for bug reports
  and for questions on community forums. A general delta debugging routine and a helper
  for reducing data frames to the rows that reproduce a failure are also provided.
