Hosted by Baskin Engineering's Statistics Department, this is a great workshop for students or researchers for whom writing and packaging R code is a core skill.
In this workshop, we will demonstrate a simple new approach to writing R packages. The idea is that you write a single R markdown file and then when you press knit, an R package will be created in addition to the usual html file. Using this approach means that you can present your code in a logical, well explained fashion, complete with latex equations, section headings, figures, and examples. Your research collaborators and your future self will find it easier to understand, modify, and extend code written this way. Feel free to bring a laptop if you'd like to try it out during the workshop.
For more on the approach we will be using, see here: https://jacobbien.
There will be coffee and refreshments!
