Check if removing the extra --- around the metadata will make your paper compile. After the fix in the Markdown file, use @whedon generate pdf alone in a comment here to recompile.

I corrected the error, there was a missing tag in the metadata.

[ali-ramadhan]

Thanks for the email @mbobra. More than happy to review this submission.

I've encountered DFA in a few papers I've read (mostly applied to climate science) but I'm no expert, so hoping to learn more by reviewing fathon.

[mbobra]

[whedon]

OK, the reviewer is @ali-ramadhan

[mbobra]
