Report of Lab 01

An example of generating a report using R, RStudio and Quarto. The goal of this report is to:

Generate a simple report of Lab 01
Include the R code from Lab 01

Code from Lab 01

First, we read the file so it can be accessed in the rest of the code:

iris <- read.csv("iris.csv", stringsAsFactors = TRUE)

Then, we print some basic statistics of the data, including mean, range, and standard deviation, while printing the name of each statistic before printing the result:

print("mean")
print(mean(iris$Sepal.Width))
print("s.d")
print(sd(iris$Sepal.Width))
print("range")
print(range(iris$Sepal.Width))

Next, we produce a plot of Petal Length vs Petal Width for all different species of Iris in the data set:

plot(iris$Petal.Length, iris$Petal.Width, pch=16, col=as.factor(iris$Species))

Finally, we make an equation to estimate the petal area and save it onto our data set:

iris$Petal.Area = pi * iris$Petal.Length * iris$Petal.Width
write.csv(iris, "iris2.csv", row.names = FALSE)
