Assessment: How to submit

You should submit a .pdf file, that is a rendered version of a Quarto Markdown file (qmd file). This will allow you to write a research paper that also includes your working code, without the need of including the data (rendered .qmd files are executed before being converted to R).

How to get a PDF?

  1. Install Quarto: Make sure you have Quarto installed. You can download it from quarto.org.
  2. LaTeX Installation: For PDF output, you’ll need a LaTeX distribution like TinyTeX from R, by executing this in the R console:
install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()
  1. Open the Quarto File: Open your .qmd file in RStudio.
  2. Set Output Format: In the YAML header at the top of your Quarto file, specify pdf under format:

    title: "Your Document Title"
    author: "Anonymous" # do not change
    format: pdf
  1. Click the Render button in the RStudio toolbar (next to the Knit button).
