Instructions

  • Create a new Rmd file, save it in your document folder with the name "apply-prep.Rmd".
  • Write a title for this section (using a first level header, indicated with one hashtag followed by a blank space # )
  • After (or during) watching each video, write the code that is being explained by the virtual instructor in your Rmd file.
    • Write a subtitle before the code section of each video (as a second level header indicated with two hastags followed by a blank space ## ).
    • Write each piece of code explained in the video in its own R chunk.
    • ⚠️ If the code gives an error or does not run, you can tell R not to run it by using the option eval = FALSE inside the R chunk:
      ```{r, eval = FALSE}
      your code that does not run goes here.
      ```
