Source code files for the book Reproducible Research with R/RStudio

Primary LanguageShell


The files in this repository comprise the draft version of Reproducible Research with R and RStudio.

File Organization

The main files used to create the manuscript of the book are in the /Source folder. This folder contains the parent knitr .Rnw file in the /Source/Parent/ directory. Child documents for the book chapters are in the /Source/Children/ directory and child files for the book's front matter are in the /Source/FrontMatter/ directory.

Reproduce the Book

The book can be reproduced by using the R package knitr. To do this:

  1. Make sure you have R and LaTeX installed on your computer.

  2. Open the file BookMake.R. Change the directories for ParentDirectory and SetUpDirectory to directory you have the files Rep-Res-Parent.Rnw and README.Rmd located in.

  3. Run the BookMake.R make file in R. Note: you must install the knitr R package before running this file.

Note: To install the R packages used to compile the book open the Source/Children/FrontMatter/Packages.Rnw. Find:

doInstall <- FALSE

in the code chunk labeled "FrontPackageCitations". Change the value FALSE to TRUE and run the code chunk.

Note: the LaTeX file will compile with warnings. Warnings related to the subfigures should be ignored (the process that creates these warnings was kept despite the warnings for stylistic reasons.) But because of this you will need to compile the document a few times to get the full text with bibliography and index.

Reproducing the Book in Windows.

If you would like to reproduce the book and are using Windows you will need to install RTools. Please use the recommended installation to ensure that your system PATH is set up correctly. Otherwise your computer will not know where the tools are. Also see the instructions for setting up the extrafont package (embedding the fonts is not strictly necessary however).
