R Markdown

Creating a report containing text, images and code is usually difficult and painstaking. Minimal changes to the code require updating both figures and text, a process prone to error, especially for long documents.

R and RStudio offer R Markdown as a solution for this issue. R Markdown allows to write documents that are mixture of text and R code, the latter being executed for producing table and figures.

Each lesson in this course has been prepared as a R Markdown file.
