This repository contains resources to learn how to work with R and edit with R Markdown.
It is made up of 3 main documents:
- "R for Beginners": it is an introduction to R. This document is rich in images that are snapshots of most all steps I try to explain. It is made up of 2 parts. Part 1 is a general overview to R. Part 2 is aiming at building a database. Therefore, all the operations, packages and functions used have this goal. Consider it as a previous step to an econometric analysis.The content is the following:
- Packages
- R Scripts and R Markdown (just an intorduction because it will the focus of the next document)
- Class and Structure
- Select and Name Columns
- Transform Database Log-Wide
- Rename Single Columns and Drop Variables
- Operations on only some Columns of the Database
- Subset the Database
- Merge Two Databases
- Dates in R
- Plot
I uploaded the databases I downloaded from the OECD (named ppp, cpi, gdp) and that I used for the examples. In this way it is possible to replicate.
-

These documents are drafts. They could be changed in future. Any advice to make it clearer and better or to add new operations is welcome.
