Learn to write a reproducible report in R using R Markdown and the knitr package.

As the final session in the three-session “Tour of the Tidyverse” series, this workshop will integrate our previous work in data manipulation and visualization into an R Markdown document, a format for sharing work as a reproducible format. Additionally, we will cover a package outside the tidyverse, knitr, which generates reports. There will also be time during the session to cover any questions that have arisen during the series and suggest avenues for learning more about R in the future.

It is assumed that participants in this workshop have attended the first two sessions in the series, “Data Manipulation in R” and “Data Visualization in R.” This workshop series is open to all, but it is recommended that participants have some basic knowledge of writing R code in the RStudio interface. One way to accomplish this is to attend one of the “R for Absolute Beginners” workshops offered regularly throughout the semester.
