Purpose of Document:
This is the final assignment for the “Reproducible Templates for Analysis and Dissemination” course on Coursera. The instructions are as follows:
- For your final assignment, you need to create a document or presentation using R Markdown, with the elements listed below, and publish your work to RPubs.
- Create an HTML document or HTML presentation slide with these 8
items:
- A section of text summarizing the information in your document or slide presentation (keep this between 3-4 sentences)
- A bulleted list of 3 or more items (either numbered or unnumbered)
- A plot of the built-in ‘pressure’ dataset
- A table of the top 6 rows of the built-in ‘cars’ dataset
- Apply a theme or style that changes the font, colors, or other formatting instead of the default template. (HINT: Remember to explore the options in the prettydoc, rmdformats, or revealjs packages)
- Knit the document or presentation to HTML
- Publish the document or presentation to RPubs
Summary
The following report includes several elements. First, a list of
several things I found useful in the course. Next, a plot of the
pressure dataset that is built-in to R and a snapshot of
the first 6 rows of the cars dataset which is also built-in
to R. Finally, the prettydocs theme “Architect” was used
for adding visual style to the document.
Highlights of Course:
- Creation of word document references for rending to .docx.
- How to publish on Github pages and Rpub.
- Parameters in the yaml to be able to easily switch between dynamic elements during rendering.
- How to start rmarkdown files from templates.
- Creation of dashboards.
