Getting Started with R Markdown

R Markdown

R Markdown documents can be used for fully reproducible statistical analysis. The link here describes in detail how to get started with Rmarkdown.

In brief, your R codes and plots can be embedded into your document as follows:

library(stats)
library(ggplot2)

summary(cars)
##      speed           dist       
##  Min.   : 4.0   Min.   :  2.00  
##  1st Qu.:12.0   1st Qu.: 26.00  
##  Median :15.0   Median : 36.00  
##  Mean   :15.4   Mean   : 42.98  
##  3rd Qu.:19.0   3rd Qu.: 56.00  
##  Max.   :25.0   Max.   :120.00

ggplot(data=cars,aes(speed,dist)) +
  geom_point() +
  geom_smooth(method='lm') +
  labs(x='Speed (mph)', y='Stopping distance (ft)', title='Linear Regression Plot') +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust=0.5, size=20, face='bold'))
