This repository provides materials for a session that is part of the I2DS Tools for Data Science workshop run at the Hertie School, Berlin in October 2023. The student-run workshop is part of the course Introduction to Data Science taught by Simon Munzert at the Hertie School, Berlin, in Fall 2023.
This session will introduce you to the production of tables with R and the packages gt and gtExtras. Tables are an important part of publishing data scientists' work, and the choices made while formatting it can make a difference in the public's understanding of the data and the study itself. These packages allow for the production of tables with data in the dataframe or tibble format, as well as easy formatting of various elements.
The goals of this session are to (1) equip you with conceptual knowledge about the gt and gtExtras packages and table producing workflow, (2) show you the basic functions the package, and (3) provide you with practice material as well as some further readings.
