Overview

This is an RStudio shiny application developed as a part of final project in the Developing Data Products course in Coursera Data Science Specialization track. The application predicts the horsepower of differnt cars based on their mpg values using two different linera models.mtcars dataset has been used to build this predication app on shiny. This is an initial attempt to build linear models to predict outcomes depending upon various models.In the shiny app , users will find two different models : model1 and model2. model1 was built based on linear relationship between hp ~ mpg, but for model2 only higher mpg value(mpg > 20) was considered to establish the linear prediction.

The Shiny app includes the following:

Form of Input used: slider, checkboxinput and submit button Reactive output : Based on the linear model slectetions the app will showcase scatterplot , trendline and the hp value corresponds to the MPG value of the car

The server.R and ui.R codes are posted on github at: https://github.com/soudey123/mtcars_hp_prediction
