Escape the Land of LaTeX/Word for Statistical Reporting: The Ecosystem of R Markdown - Yihui Xie

When:  Sep 3, 2015 from 11:00 to 12:00 (ET)

Presenter: Yihui Xie, RStudio

 

Abstract:

It is time to consider the web. Most people may naturally open a LaTeX or Word document to write a statistical report. I will show what you have possibly missed, which can be basically summarized into 1) your report is less reproducible and requires more work, and 2) your report contains nothing interactive and can be less appealing to readers. In the ecosystem of R Markdown v2, there are tools for generating reproducible and interactive statistical reports. In this talk, I will introduce a series of R packages including knitr, rmarkdown, htmlwidgets, DT, leaflet, and shiny, etc, to show how easy it is to enhance your reports with the power of web technologies.
