Reproducible Research: Getting Started with RMarkdown

Description

You are already writing comments for your R code, so you may be wondering why you need to document code with a Notebook tool, such as RMarkdown. You can find several RMarkdown examples online.

Notebook tools are particularly useful when you share your code and analysis with non-coders or non-R coders. RMarkdown can help you create interactive web document with text, code and results of executing that chunk of code all in one place. Many R users choose to document and share code with RMarkdown, but it can be used to document scripts writing in other programming languages, such as Python and SQL. Learn more about how to get started with RMarkdown with Johns Hopkins Data Services.

This webinar is one of a series on reproducible research.
