Chapter 8 – Presenting Data
In this final chapter, we will focus on presenting our data to our audience. Throughout this workbook, we have covered a lot of data and a lot of way of exploring and visualizing data. Now it is time to show our work. For this task, we will use two key libraries, rmarkdown and knitr, to generate document into which we will incorporate our code and plots.
For those of you in Sociology 1205, this chapter covers the EDA module for unit 8. You will find the tutorial scripts in your R Studio Cloud workspace.
In this chapter, we will not create new plots or learn new exploratory or visualization techniques. Instead, we will focus on presenting what we coded into shareable documents. The first videos will introduce you to r markdown. The last videos will be a tutorial on how to use it.
