How to Use R Markdown

R Markdown combines R code with Markdown text to create dynamic, reproducible documents. It's widely used in data science for creating reports, presentations, and dashboards.

Getting Started

  1. Install R and RStudio
  2. Install the rmarkdown package: install.packages("rmarkdown")
  3. Create a new R Markdown file (.Rmd)
  4. Write Markdown text and R code chunks
  5. Knit the document to generate output (HTML, PDF, Word)

Code Chunks

```{r}
# R code here
data <- read.csv("file.csv")
summary(data)
```
