May The Fourth Be with Us

This is an introductory post testing that I have everything setup correctly and a sensible workflow.

Veiw of this blog

I want to be able to write about the statistics and R related things that come up in the course of my work. Mainly this blog will serve as an aid to my coworkers. I typically have to make documents that are shorter than a formal white paper, but need to be more extensive than an email or a conversation. Hopefully, this will bridge that gap.

Quick Demo

Trying to insert a basic table and plot

summary(cars)
##      speed           dist       
##  Min.   : 4.0   Min.   :  2.00  
##  1st Qu.:12.0   1st Qu.: 26.00  
##  Median :15.0   Median : 36.00  
##  Mean   :15.4   Mean   : 42.98  
##  3rd Qu.:19.0   3rd Qu.: 56.00  
##  Max.   :25.0   Max.   :120.00

See if I can also embed plots, for example:

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-2

Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
