This application is created using R Shiny package.With the help of this Application a user can Predict Childs height by entering Parents Heights and Childs Gender. The applicaton will display predicted child height in inches/Feets/Centimeters on the Prediction Panel along with an interactive graph which will generate a historam showing Childs Height with respect to Parents Height. The data used for prediction is taken from GaltonFamilies data which is available in package UsingR.For prediction I have used caret package and glm(generalized linear models) method.
