Purpose of Predicting Fertility

This app is to be used to predict the Fertility of Populations using varying Education levels and Agriculture.

  • determine the level of affect from Education
  • include Agriculture as a comparison point

The app itself takes a user's input for an education level and applies the number to a linear model. The plot shows two possible predictions for Fertility levels of a given population based on either (1) Education Level (set by user) or (2) Education Level (set by user) and Agriculture wtihin that population.
