Here's a link to my Week 4 repository:

https://github.com/catrionamaclean/Week_4_Repository

It should contain the R Studio Project, 2 R markdown files (1 downloaded from the course and saved to my project, 1 new example created by myself)

The corresponding PDF outputs should also be available in this repository.
