RMarkdown is a powerful way of coding manuscripts, reports and managing workflows in R. It can combine many programming languages, along with text and can be extended to build a range of things, including websites.
RMarkdown can be used to produce documents of any type, from pdfs and presentation slides to (accessible!) html files supporting interactivity and, behind the scenes, mixing up code with text in a seamless way that feels almost magical. RMarkdown is a natural extension to analysis coding in R and many institutions that teach R use RMarkdown from the first day due to its flexibility for work flow.
After this one-day introduction, delegates will:
Some prior knowledge of R is required and has either attended the NHS-R Community Introduction to R and R Studio course or have used some R (but by no means an “expert”).
You are expected to have completed the prework and set up an account with RStudio Connect.
If you are wanting to use your own computer/RStudio the instructions in this prework will equally work for installing the packages required and the files for the course.
