Activity 9 - Functions Intro

For the first half of this activity (it is clearly identified in activity09-functions-intro.Rmd), it is assumed that you read Chapter 17 and Sections 19.1 - 19.3, and 19.5 from R4DS. The second half assumes that you have read Sections 19.4 - 19.6 from R4DS and completed the corresponding Primers.

In this activity, you will:

• Write a function to compute the range of various quantiles/percentiles pairings (e.g., IQR)

☑️ Task 1: The Workflow

Fork this repo and clone it to a new RStudio Project.

Remember that more detailed directions can be found in Task 1 of Activity 6.

Planned Pause Point: If you have any questions, contact your instructor or another group. We will complete this Activity during our next class session

☑️ Task 2: Complete the RMarkdown File

The activity09-functions-intro.Rmd file contains the directions for this activity. For the rest of this class period, you will complete the RMarkdown document with your neighbor(s). Your instructor will be circling and be available to help when needed.

Note that each person is working in their own repo. We are not worrying about collaborating for the time being and instead will be working on being more comfortable with the workflow for working between RStudio and GitHub.

However, do not continue in this README document until you and your neighbor(s) have completed your .Rmd files.

☑️ Task 3: Reflection

This is the end of the activities for preparing data. What do you feel like you have a good grasp of? What could you use more practice with?

Next: Next week we will spend time working on your Project.
