Many reports build heavily on complex analysis of data. Reproducibility is important for quality assurance (DQMS) and the use of reproducible reporting methods can (partly) automate the writing of such reports.
Reproducible reporting means here that the sources (scripts) for data analyzes, figures and tables are managed together with the source of the formatted text into one source document. The source document can be executed and published as pdf, word or (interactive) html.
Other recent initiatives supporting R as a tool for reproducible and interactive data analysis:
ICES [Training course in the R environment] (http://ices.dk/news-and-events/Training/Pages/R-environment.aspx)
R Shiny (including dashboard) is adopted by wikimedia to monitor the performance of their servers.
The course is meant for Data scientists (as instructors) with knowledge of data crunching, quality control and regridding and emerging datascientists (Participants) with an interest in R.
The course connects to existing projects which profit from interactive and / or reproducible data (re)processing, e.g.
Intended content of the course:
Reproducible working methods with reproducible or dynamic documents
Interactive analysis of North Sea WQ data
Regridding of point data
Background material
Examples:
R markdown document regridding of bird counts
