Introduction
Develop a shinyapps.io app that allows a user to explore the USArrests dataset. The US Arrest dataset contains statistics, in arrests per 100,000 residents for assault, murder, and rape in each of the 50 US states in 1973.
Enhance the dataset by grouping the states into regions and divisions which may give greater insight on the data.
Tab highlights
Results are displayed in three tabs.
- The plot tab displays a scatterplot matrix which is good for determining rough linear correlations of metadata that contain continuous variables.
- The table tab contains the data used in the analysis.
- The summary tab contains summary statistics for selected states.
Slide With Plots
Compare arrest statistics from different regions and divisions.
This example displays the Mid-Atlantic and South-Atlantic regions.
Summary
This Shiny app explores the USArrests dataset by utilizing
a basic control for filtering the US states by regions and divisions.
After selecting a filter, the results are presented
in a tabbed layout featuring a scatter plot, a table
of data, and summary statistics.
