5 Introduction to the AT2 Templates

For your AT2 assignment we ask you to submit your report as a knitted file. You do not have to write any r code to do this. At simplest, you can create all your analysis (data, visualisations) in other programs, and use rstudio and markdown to embed these, and format your document.

RStudio has made this a lot simpler recently because there is now an inbuilt visual editor (I’m using it right now and it looks almost exactly like a Word document!). Even if you use this view, you should still get familiar with the basics of markdown…for example, these little chunks with a grey background are introduced by using the \` key (top left on my keyboard) before and after the code example. To make something bold, we use \* before and after the words, and so on.

We’ve created a template to help with this.

You can download this as a Project file, either at the guthub repository https://github.com/sjgknight/DSI-templates or via drive https://tinyurl.com/DSIAT2Template (they should be in sync).
