Course Project

The course project is a two part peer-graded assignment:

  • Create a Shiny application and deploy it on RStudio’s servers

  • Use Slidify or RStudio Presenter to prepare a reproducible pitch presentation about your application.

The name of the Shiny application developed for this project is the Motor Trend Data Analysis Application and is hosted on RStudio’s shinyapps.io hosted service:

Shiny App

Motor Trend Data Analysis Application

Motor Trend Data Analysis is an interactive Shiny application that uses linear regression modeling techniques to estimate fuel consumption (MPG) in 32 automobiles (1973-74 models) based on 11 aspects of automobile design and performance.

About the Data Set

The mtcars dataset is comprised of data that was was extracted from the 1974 Motor Trend US magazine, and comprises fuel consumption and 11 aspects of automobile design and performance for 32 automobiles (1973-74 models).
