When raking survey data to improve representativeness, we ideally would have population data to use for raking. But sometimes all we have is data from another survey. What should we do in this situati...

Or I guess, just <code>r mean(1:10)</code>! Haha.

Isabella Velásquez @ivelasq3.bsky.social · Sep 5

Ahh, it's because I hadn't run R code before using `r` 🤦‍♀️

It's hideous, but how about:

text `r return("<code>r mean(1:10)</code>")` text

Interesting! Worked on my machine 😂

What about `r mean(1:10)` (with no curly braces)?
