R Markdown

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com.

When you click the Knit button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

convertTemp <- function(value, to="C") {
  result <- switch(to,
    C = (value - 32) * 5/9,        
    F = (value * 9/5) + 32,        
    K = value + 273.15,            
    "Unknown target temperature unit."
  )
  return(result)
}


convertTemp(100, "F")  

## [1] 212

convertTemp(32, "C")  

## [1] 0

convertTemp(0, "K")    

## [1] 273.15

tempK <- convertTemp(40, "K")
sprintf("40°C is equivalent to %f°K", tempK)

## [1] "40°C is equivalent to 313.150000°K"

Including Plots

You can also embed plots, for example:

Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
