Python or R?

TidyVerse or Base R

What are the different output formats?

Note that generating .PDFs (as well as latex) may require you to install latex onto your machine.

How does the r setup file work?

Which version of R and RStudio?

How would I find out how to do this. I almost always start with googling stackoverflow for my R questions.

R Packages

R packages may contain code, data, or both. Many packages also include (sometimes extremely) helpful vignettes.

ctrl-alt-i or code-insert-chunk are two ways to add code block

data(package = 'ggplot2')
vignette(package = 'ggplot2')
vignette(package = 'ggplot2', "extending-ggplot2")

How do I generate latex?

\[\bar{X}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\]

You can also create inline latex with single dollar signs like this \(\bar{X}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\). Nice!

Remember that you may need to install latex (one time) on your Mac or PC.

Where do I go to learn more about RStudio and RMarkdown?

Take a look at chapters 21 and chapters 23 in R for Data Science.

https://www.rstudio.com has a lot of in-depth videos and cheat sheets. See also CheatSheets sub-menu under the RStudio help menu.

R Markdown Cheatsheets

Note that with GitHub, sometimes you need to work with the raw version of the file for it to render correctly!
