Quarto Presentation – Starter Example
Titanic Dataset
INTRODUCTION
- This is an introduction to creating presentation output using Quarto
- Notice how headers are used to create pages of content
- This is just a simple example - we will improve on the design and flow throughout the semester
- Use the CRISP-DM Model to create a relevant story line

Data Understanding
- We will use the Titanic dataset for our analysis
- The dataset has information on all 1309 passengers aboard the Titanic when it sank in April 1912
- The dataset has the following variables
'data.frame': 1309 obs. of 12 variables:
$ PassengerId: int 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...

Passenger Statistics by Gender
- The Titanic had more men than women – almost two-thirds were men.
- Percent distribution by gender
Passenger Statistics by Survival
- These data show that fewer passengers survive than did not survive.
- However, there are quite a few passengers for whom no survival information is available.

Distribution of Passengers by Fare Class and Embarked Location Using a Stacked Bar Chart
![]()
The stacked bar chart above is to help us analyze and infer the status of the passengers according to their destination and fare class.
According to the stacked bar chart above, we can infer that our fewest amount of passengers are going to Queenstown, Ireland. Along with majority of those passengers are fare class 3. The majority of our passengers were oging to Southampton, England, and the majority of them were fare class 3 with some in fare class 2 and 1. As for those that were headed to Cherbourg, France, majority of them were fare class 1 with a few in fare class 3 and 2.
S: Southampton, England
C: Cherbourg, France
Q: Queenstown, Ireland
Distribution of Passengers by Fare Class and Embarked Location using a Dodged Bar Chart
![]()
The dodged bar chart above is helping us gather the same information the stacked bar chart gave us and is reinforcing the results it gave us.
This chart gives us the same results as the stacked, showing that majority of our passengers were going to Southampton and majority of the passengers were in fare class 3.
