RMarkdown and RNotebooks

We are going to be exploring how to use R-markdown and R-Notebooks. Have you been wondering what these tools are? Have you heard about them, but don’t know where to start?

This workshop will introduce you to the basics and some tricks and tips to make amazing documents containing all your data-analysis and much more! After a brief introduction on the tool and how to use it, we will have some hands-on experience with R-Markdown.

By the end of the workshop you will have created R-markdown and R-notebooks, so don’t forget to have R and Rstudio installed ready to go! With R-Markdown you can create documents that contain all your code as well as all the results from that code, thus making your data analysis entirely reproducible. However, R-markdown can do much more than that. It is a tool that helps you during data analysis. It allows you to create a script with all your data analysis pipeline that you can play with as you try different statistical or visualisation methods. The great advantage, as opposed to standard R-scripts, it is that you can add text between your code to create amazing documents that you can personalise with just a few clicks.

Participants will have hands-on experience on how to use these tools. Please note that the training is aimed at people who have attended the R introductory workshops or have some basic R knowledge.
