1 R Markdown / Quarto

This is an R Markdown / Quarto document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com or, better even, https://quarto.org.

When you click the Knit/Render button, a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

summary(cars)
     speed           dist
 Min.   : 4.0   Min.   :  2.00
 1st Qu.:12.0   1st Qu.: 26.00
 Median :15.0   Median : 36.00
 Mean   :15.4   Mean   : 42.98
 3rd Qu.:19.0   3rd Qu.: 56.00
 Max.   :25.0   Max.   :120.00

But you can also refer to code like this in running text: summary(cars). And if you begin the inline quote with an “r” followed by a space, R will execute it and display the result when the document is rendered: 2+4=6.

2 Including Plots

2.1 Heading 2: some plot

You can also embed plots, for example:

plot(pressure)

2.2 Heading 2: some other plot

You can also embed plots, for example:

plot(pressure, type="b", pch=16, col="blue"); grid()

3 Useful formatting tips/options

Here are some useful formatting tips/options. Bullet lists are done like this:

  • single asterisks italicize;
  • dual asterisks print in bold type;
  • tildes make text be subscript: optiona;
  • carets make text be superscript: R2;
    • this is an increased indent for the bullet list;
      • we can do several of those …

This is how you include a hyperlink: STG’s website.
