RStudio for R Statistical Computing Cookbook

By: Andrea Cirillo

Overview of this book

The requirement of handling complex datasets, performing unprecedented statistical analysis, and providing real-time visualizations to businesses has concerned statisticians and analysts across the globe. RStudio is a useful and powerful tool for statistical analysis that harnesses the power of R for computational statistics, visualization, and data science, in an integrated development environment. This book is a collection of recipes that will help you learn and understand RStudio features so that you can effectively perform statistical analysis and reporting, code editing, and R development. The first few chapters will teach you how to set up your own data analysis project in RStudio, acquire data from different data sources, and manipulate and clean data for analysis and visualization purposes. You'll get hands-on with various data visualization methods using ggplot2, and you will create interactive and multidimensional visualizations with D3.js. Additional recipes will help you optimize your code; implement various statistical models to manage large datasets; perform text analysis and predictive analysis; and master time series analysis, machine learning, forecasting; and so on. In the final few chapters, you'll learn how to create reports from your analytical application with the full range of static and dynamic reporting tools that are available in RStudio so that you can effectively communicate results and even transform them into interactive web applications.

Sharing your work on RPubs


RPubs is the logical end of the path that starts with an R script:

  • Development of R code

  • Development of an R Markdown report embedding the R code

  • Publishing and sharing your R Markdown report online

One of the greatest advantages of RPubs is its good integration with the RStudio environment.

We will see how to publish your analyses on RPubs from the ground up.

Getting ready

In order to publish your work on RPubs, you will first have to create an account on this portal.

To sign up on RPubs, you just have to navigate to http://rpubs.com/users/new.

The signing-up procedure will ask you to fill in some fields.

After filling in the required fields, you will get an account on the platform, and you will be ready to publish your first report on RPubs.

In this recipe, we will publish one of the reports produced in our previous recipes, and specifically the parametrized reports produced in the Generating dynamic parametrized reports with R Markdown recipe in this chapter.
