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

A summary of the giss_temp dataset

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

###Let’s make some variables from the dataset for our figures

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

Let’s make some figures with these variables

hist(giss$TempAnom, breaks=20)

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

  • eval: shows code but does not run
  • results: ‘hide’: hide output
  • echo: FALSE: hide R code
  • fig-keep: FALSE: doesn’t display any figures
  • fig-width: 10: alters the figure width (size in inches)
  • fig-height: 7: alters the figure height (size in inches)
