R

Overview Writing a research report using RMarkdown allows you to start your analysis even before you have collected the data. This is especially helpful in report writing and thesis writing. When you, web-crawler, or a panel are still collecting data, you can already start writing the thesis. However, writing results before having the data is somewhat challenging. Keep in mind that writing a discussion before having collected the data is a lot harder.

Today I updated the rmdtemplates package on github. It now supports PocketMods: Tiny little 8 paged books that you can now author in Markdown. Check it out at http://www.github.com/statisticsforsocialscience/rmd_templates
