R beyond data analysis
Course material for the seminar.
Abstract
You might know r from data analysis. But, r can do much more than that for you! This short book supports the seminar with the same title offered by Asst. Prof. Adrian Stanciu at University of Luxembourg.
Preface
The book is divided into several chapters as follows:
- Chapter 1 General introduction: This is an introduction to the purpose and mission of this seminar, and provides useful information to get one started.
- Chapter 2 R universe: This part is a gentle introduction in the
runiverse. - Chapter 3 Automatization: This part addresses the notion of automatization of workflows.
- Chapter 4 Self-publish: This part provides tips on self-publishing content online.
- Chapter 5 Shiny apps: This part introduces shiny-apps as tools for communicating research output.
- Chapter 6 Parting words: This is an overview of the learned material and contains some tips for individual work.
To illustrate the benefits of working with R beyond data analysis while transitioning to a holistic work flow, we will build on an example that evolves throughout the chapters 3 Automatization–5 Shiny apps.
