Baby’s First Quarto Document

My first report!

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

• Generate a simple report
• Include some R code
• Include a figure generated by R

Quarto is super dope becuase you can use it to display code from R and its results. Here’s some simple addition from R:

5 + 6

[1] 11

And here’s a data set summary made using R:

giss = read.csv("giss_temp.csv")
summary(giss)

      Year          Month          DecDate        TempAnom        
 Min.   :1881   Min.   : 1.00   Min.   :1881   Min.   :-0.860000  
 1st Qu.:1913   1st Qu.: 3.75   1st Qu.:1914   1st Qu.:-0.210000  
 Median :1946   Median : 6.50   Median :1946   Median :-0.050000  
 Mean   :1946   Mean   : 6.50   Mean   :1946   Mean   :-0.009428  
 3rd Qu.:1979   3rd Qu.: 9.25   3rd Qu.:1979   3rd Qu.: 0.150000  
 Max.   :2011   Max.   :12.00   Max.   :2012   Max.   : 0.880000  

R can also be used to process data by calculating means and creating vectors:

annualTemp = tapply(giss$TempAnom, giss$Year, mean)
years = unique(giss$Year)

Graphing

And R is also quite nice for making graphs. Here is a histogram made from the above data…

hist(giss$TempAnom, breaks=20)

…and here is a line plot of annual temperatures.

plot(years, annualTemp, type='l', lwd=2, col=2, 
xlab="Years", ylab="Temp Anom")
abline(h=0, lty=2)

Chunks

If, perchance, I wanted to be a little secretive about the results of a certain bit of code, I could also hide it from you:

plot(years, annualTemp, type='l', lwd=2, col=2, 
xlab="Years", ylab="Temp Anom")
abline(h=0, lty=2)

I can also be even more secretive by hiding the code and only showing you the result, as with this example from the histogram above:

This has been my first report developed using R and Quarto. Have a splendid day
