PU5058 Introduction to Health Data Science

Course website source for PU5058 Introduction to Health Data Science, MSc Health Data Science, University of Aberdeen.

Rendered site: https://alexd106.github.io/PU5058/

The site hosts the practical exercises, exercise solutions, data files and how-to videos for the course. It is built with rmarkdown::render_site() from the .Rmd sources in this repository; see _site.yml for the site configuration.

Rendered files are written to docs/. GitHub Pages should be configured to deploy from the master branch and /docs folder.

Prerequisites

Rendering the full site requires R plus the packages used by the website and exercise pages:

install.packages(c(
  "rmarkdown",
  "knitr",
  "dplyr",
  "stringr",
  "htmltools",
  "lattice",
  "vioplot",
  "scales"
))

The exercises.Rmd build also renders PDF versions of the exercises, so a LaTeX installation is required. If LaTeX is not already installed, the smallest usual setup from R is:

install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()

The optional ggplot solution page uses additional packages:

install.packages(c("ggplot2", "gridExtra", "GGally"))

Build the site from the repository root with:

rmarkdown::render_site()
