Proper R Markdown Code Organization

Question

I have been reading about R Markdown (here, here, and here) and using it to create solid reports. I would like to try to use what little code I am running to do some ad hoc

Answer 1

Often times, I have many reports that need to run the same code with slightly different parameters. Calling all my "stats" functions separately, generating the results and then just referencing is what I typically do. The way to do this is as follows:

---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Author"
date: "August 4, 2015"
output: html_document
---

```{r, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE}
directoryPath <- "rawPath" ##Something like /Users/userid/RDataFile
fullPath <- file.path(directoryPath,"myROutputFile.RData") 
load(fullPath)
```

Some Text, headers whatever

```{r}
summary(myStructure$value1) #Where myStructure was saved to the .RData file
```  

You can save an RData file by using the save.image() command.

Hope that helps!
