Summary

This is the final, peer-graded assignment for the Coursera MOOC on ‘Reproducible Templates for Analysis and Dissemination’.

It contains

• a title \(\checkmark\)

• My Name as Author \(\checkmark\)

• The Date \(\checkmark\)

• A section of text summarizing the information in your document or slide presentation (keep this between 3-4 sentences) - which is actually this section \(\checkmark\)

• A bulleted list of 3 or more items (either numbered or unnumbered) \(\checkmark\)

• A plot of the built-in ‘pressure’ dataset \(\checkmark\)

• A table of the top 6 rows of the built-in ‘cars’ dataset \(\checkmark\)

• 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) \(\checkmark\)

Bulleted list

Poor sleep quality has been linked with the following symptoms:

• higher levels of negative mood

• physical symptoms such as insomnia

• stress

• use of medications

• persistent psychological distress (Glozier et al., 2010; Lund et al., 2010)

Pressure Data Set

plot(pressure, xlab = "Temperature (deg C)",
     ylab = "Pressure (mm of Hg)",
     main = "pressure data: Vapor Pressure of Mercury")

Top rows of the cars dataset

knitr:: kable(head(cars),
              caption = "Top 6 rows of cars dataset") %>%
  kable_styling(full_width = F)

Change of design

As described by (Xie et al. 2021), useful templates come in various packages. One is the rmdformats package (Barnier 2021), which “provides a number of templates that pass different custom styling functions to the output option” ¹.

I am using the downcute template with the following YAML header settings:

output:
  rmdformats::downcute:
    self_contained: true
    default_style: "dark"
    downcute_theme: "default"
