Short report example: Initial descriptive stats for an educational assessment dataset

For this example we are going to use a dataset that comes with the conquestr package available on github. It can be installed as follows:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("markdly/conquestr")

After installing we can access the inbuilt data (alternatively you could read in a csv file here etc)

library(DT)
library(conquestr)
resp <- conquestr::short_test

Student responses to item are stored in resp. Here are the first 8 records:

There are a total of 1209 cases.
