EAA Web Session “Automating Reports with R Markdown”

Companies in general, and insurance companies in particular, spend a lot of resources re-writing the same reports over and over again. This costly and error prone process can be partially or fully automated with R Markdown.

R Markdown enables you to:
– Import data from several sources
– Wrangle it to suit your needs
– Run models and design state-of-the-art visuals, and
– Write reports in several formats
all within a single application/script!

Moreover, the whole process is reproducible which means that it can be automatically re-generated whenever the underlying data or code changes. This web session will be presented in two parts. In the first part, we show:
– The structure of an R Markdown document
– A practical example of an automated report for a fictional casualty insurance company
– A brief discussion on implementing R Markdown in a corporate environment

In the second part, we show how to write a simple html report with a step by step example.
