Data Science Lab Project Templates

The repository provides R Markdown templates for data science lab projects.

Getting Started

We may download and unpack the ZIP file of the repository, then compile the source document within RStudio (by clicking the button knit or hitting the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+K).

Alternatively (and probably more efficiently), we may clone the repository and let the Makefile help reproduce the output as follows:

git clone https://github.com/statds/dslab-templates.git
cd dslab-templates
make       # for output in pdf and html

The available targets in the Makefile include

• all, default target for output in PDF and HTML.
• pdf for PDF output only
• html for HTML output only
• clean for cleaning some temporary files such as *.log and *.aux.
• rmCache for cleaning cache files, which can be crucial if we modified code chunk for a new evaluation.

Output Preview

The output of the templates in PDF and HTML are available for preview.
