Mission 1

Launch a new R project and R markdown file. Name it “Lastname_Firstname_Project_202”. Set up your environment with packages you will use.

Mission 2

Filter to your country of interest and save the dataset.

Mission 3

Clean your environment and load in the filtered dataset.

##           used (Mb) gc trigger   (Mb)   max used    (Mb)

Mission 4

Produce and save a data summary output (using data summary skim) for potential outcomes of interest on a similar scale (e.g., 0-10, or 1 to 6, or binary). Add a title. You can do so while coding (explore package information for flextable and/or modelsummary) or add it directly in the word file. Title should be something like: Table 1: Descriptive Statistics for outcome variables. You can alter the title as you see fit.

Mission 5

Produce and save a data summary output (using data summary skim) for socio-demographic variables. Add a title. You can do so while coding (explore package information for flextable and/or modelsummary) or add it directly in the word file. Title should be something like: Table 1: Descriptive Statistics for socio-demographic variables. You can alter the title as you see fit.

Mission 6

Produce and save a plot as a PDF for your outcome of interest (any will do here).
