Introduction to R Markdown

R Markdown is an authoring format that makes it easy to write reports and create presentations with R. You simply combine R code with text written in markdown and then export the results as an html, pdf, or Word file. You don’t need to save individual graphs and insert them into your document. You don’t need to copy and paste calculations. You don’t need to learn a new programming language. With a single keystroke you can generate a professional-looking document that contains all your R code, statistical results, plots and exposition. The best part is that it’s free and easy to do with RStudio. In this workshop we’ll get you up and running with R Markdown and have you creating reports and presentations in no time. Previous experience with R will be helpful but not required.
