Reproducible Reporting
November 21, 2017
It doesn't matter how great your analysis is unless you can share it with others – easily. R Markdown and knitr make it easy to intermingle code and text to generate compelling reports and presentations that are never out of date. Combine R Markdown with packrat to ensure that your reports are reproducible day in and day out, no matter what other R packages you have installed.
