Reproducible reports with RStudio and Knitr

Reproducible reports with RStudio and Knitr
Monday, 3rd December at 1 pm
Rm. G04, Western Gateway Building

This is the second in a series of lunchtime demonstrations on the use of R/RStudio to incorporate/highlight tools you are already using (or are considering learning) into enhancing the reproducibility of your own research.

Rmarkdown allows you to move directly from your analyses to the reporting stage thereby eliminating unseen copy/paste errors that inevitably occur when you consider the 1000 copy/paste actions that are likely to be performed every week of every year.

This session will initially be spent examining the main elements of Rmarkdown for first time users. The second half will be a live (excruciatingly painful personal journey) build of an Rmarkdown report using the R-project from the 20th November. All materials will be available through the link below should attendees wish to follow along during or after the session.

The take home message from this session is that: If I can build an Rmarkdown report in a room with people watching me, then you can easily do it too in the privacy of your own home!
