Kun Ren has used R for nearly 4 years in quantitative trading, along with C++ and C#, and he has worked very intensively (more than 8-10 hours every day) on useful R packages that the community does not offer yet. He contributes to packages developed by other authors and reports issues to make things work better. He is also a frequent speaker at R conferences in China and has given multiple talks. Kun also has a great social media presence. Additionally, he has substantially contributed to various projects, which is evident from his GitHub account: https://github.com/renkun-ken https://cn.linkedin.com/in/kun-ren-76027530 http://renkun.me/ http://renkun.me/formattable/ http://renkun.me/pipeR/ http://renkun.me/rlist/

Summary


In this chapter, we demonstrated the use of R Markdown to produce dynamic documents where tables, graphics, and interactive plots can be easily embedded. Then we saw a few simple examples of shiny apps which are basically web-based interactive apps with an R backend. With these powerful productivity tools, data analysis can be made more interesting and full of fun because the outcome can be demonstrated in a nice, interactive way, which is usually better for conveying more information, drawing more insights and making better decisions.

Now we have finished this book. We started learning R by getting familiar with the fundamental concepts, data structures and language constructs and features. We went through a wide range of examples to understand how these fit the needs of practical data analysis. To build a concrete and consistent understanding of the R programming language and the behavior of data structures, we discussed several advanced topics such as R's evaluation model, metaprogramming...
