RMarkdown Example Using Galton Data

Text

Text can be decorated with bold or italics. It is also possible to

• create links
• include mathematics like \(e=mc^2\) or \[y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1 + \beta_2 x_2\]

Be sure to put a space after the * when you are creating bullets and a space after # when creating section headers, but not between $ and the mathematical formulas.

Scatterplot of Heights of Sons by Heights of Fathers

If the code of an R chunk produces a plot, this plot can be displayed in the resulting file.

ggplot(data=Galton,aes(x=father,y=height))+geom_point() + stat_smooth(method=lm) 

R output

Other forms of R output are also displayed as they are produced.
