R beyond data analysis
Course material.
Abstract
You might know r from data analysis. But, r can do much more than that for you! This book supports the seminar Introduction to automatization and online application development using R 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.
