Intro to RMarkdown

This is the repo for the intro to Rmarkdown lesson from Schloss lab meeting on 1-24-18.

Prior to lab meeting

• Clone this repo onto your laptop any way you want. I prefer to do it over the command line:

  • Navigate to the folder you want to put this lesson in and run:

    git clone https://github.com/kjflynn/rmd_labmeeting.git

  • Then open RStudio and set this as your working directory

• Download packages if you don't have them

  install.packages('ggplot2')

  install.packages('rmarkdown')

Lab meeting exercises

• Work with your partner to replicate the RMarkdown report shown in 1_24labmeeting_solution.html

• RStudio keeps cheatsheets under Help > Cheatsheets > RMarkdown cheat sheet

• I'd suggest the less-experienced-in-RMarkdown do the actual typing :)

• Partners:

  • Pat and Marcy
  • Will and Ada
  • Josh and Marc
  • Charlie and Kaitlin

• If you finish early- add something to your report we didn't cover today.

  • can you make the printed numbers "prettier"?

Advanced exercises (if we get to them)

• creating bibliographies in RMarkdown
