KEP coding club:

The presentation is divided in two parts:

1. An introduction to R in markdown
The aim of the first part is to give a user-friendly introduction to R in RStudio. The code and results will be displayed in a fully reproducible document using R Markdown.

Rmarkdown lets you insert R code into a markdown document. R then generates a final document, in a wide variety of formats, that replaces the R code with its results.

2. A working example of building an interactive Shiny app
In the second part, I will show how to build a interactive app in Shiny starting by a static code analysis. This will be based on a working example on how to present incidence and mortality rates of Prostate Cancer in Sweden over time.

Shiny makes it incredibly easy to build interactive web applications with R. Shiny has automatic “reactive” binding between inputs and outputs and extensive pre-built widgets.
