When you click on the button **Knit**, the document will be compiled in order to re-execute the R code and to include the results into the final document. As we have shown in the video, R code is inserted as follows:
```{r cars}
summary(cars)
The following command reads the input data for further computations.
It is also straightforward to include figures. For example:
In the following chunks, each command calculated a property of the data. For cross verification, the output is also included in the chunk.
To calculate the average of all the values:
```{r}
mean(data)
# [1] 14.113
```
```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
To look for the minimal value:
```{r}
min(data)
# [1] 2.8
```
Note the parameter `echo = FALSE` that indicates that the code will not appear in the final version of the document. We recommend not to use this parameter in the context of this MOOC, because we want your data analyses to be perfectly transparent and reproducible.
To identify the maximum value:
```{r}
max(data)
# [1] 23.4
```
Since the results are not stored in Rmd files, you should generate an HTML or PDF version of your exercises and commit them. Otherwise reading and checking your analysis will be difficult for anyone else but you.
To locate where the median lies:
```{r}
median(data)
# [1] 14.5
```
Now it's your turn! You can delete all this information and replace it by your computational document.
Finally, to calculate the standard deviation of the numbers:
