- This is the final project for the Developing Data Products course.
- We present an analysis of the built-in
mtcarsdataset. - The project demonstrates an interactive approach to exploring vehicle data.

mtcars dataset.Here is a look at the summary of our application data:
summary(mtcars[, c("mpg", "hp", "wt")])
## mpg hp wt ## Min. :10.40 Min. : 52.0 Min. :1.513 ## 1st Qu.:15.43 1st Qu.: 96.5 1st Qu.:2.581 ## Median :19.20 Median :123.0 Median :3.325 ## Mean :20.09 Mean :146.7 Mean :3.217 ## 3rd Qu.:22.80 3rd Qu.:180.0 3rd Qu.:3.610 ## Max. :33.90 Max. :335.0 Max. :5.424
We perform a custom calculation simulating a Shiny reactive server operation (calculating Horsepower per Weight ratio):
mtcars$hp_per_wt <- mtcars$hp / mtcars$wt
head(mtcars[, c("mpg", "hp_per_wt")])
## mpg hp_per_wt ## Mazda RX4 21.0 41.98473 ## Mazda RX4 Wag 21.0 38.26087 ## Datsun 710 22.8 40.08621 ## Hornet 4 Drive 21.4 34.21462 ## Hornet Sportabout 18.7 50.87209 ## Valiant 18.1 30.34682
