Introduction

Have you ever been interested in purchasing one of the cars in the mtcars data set?

I have created an app called 'mtcars Recommender' that will select the right car(s) for you from the mtcars data set based on your preference for number of gears and number of cylinders

mtcars Data Set Description

In case you're not familiar with the mtcars data set, it is one of the data sets included with the base R package.

Here is a description of the data set from the help file:

The data was extracted from the 1974 Motor Trend US magazine, and comprises fuel consumption and 10 aspects of automobile design and performance for 32 automobiles (1973-74 models).

Structure of mtcars

The data set contains the following 10 variables

data(mtcars)
names(mtcars)
 [1] "mpg"  "cyl"  "disp" "hp"   "drat" "wt"   "qsec" "vs"   "am"   "gear"
[11] "carb"

mtcars Recommender App

Using my app, you can choose the best mtcar for you based on what you preference is for the number of cylinders and the number of gears.

Simply enter those values into the appropriate boxes and 'click' Submit and the app will give you a list of cars that match those criteria. Enjoy!
