Course Project: Shiny Application and Reproducible Pitch

This BMI(Body Mass Index) Calculator application has been built for the last assignment of the Coursera Course Developing Data Products as part of the Data Science Specialization.

The shiny application developed for this assignment is available at the following address: https://chinettis.shinyapps.io/my_shiny_app/

Instead, the source codes (ui.R and server.R) are available an my personal page on GitHub:https://github.com/chinettis/shinyapp

Hoping you will find it nice :)

The body mass index (BMI) is computed based on the following formula:

BMI=x KG/(yM*yM)

where:

• x= bodyweight in KG or LBS
• y= height in mt or inch

Essentially, the previous formula tells us that bodyweight expressed in kg or lbs is divided by height expressed in meters/inch squared.

By specifying into the numeric input space your weight and height (you can choose to express it into KG or LBS), the shiny application computes through the server side your actual BMI.

Moreover, it is also shown a plot which specifies at which category status your BMI belongs.
