Final Project - Game of Thrones

The final project for the Coursera course Developing Data Products including two stages:

• Develop and deploy a shiny app
• Create and publish a presentation explaining the app

This presentation was bulit with R presenter.

Game of Thrones are plenty fascinating enough on their own, and have infuriated viewers and readers alike for years now. The things is, no character, good or bad, major or minor is safe from Martin's pen. The reputation is not unwarranted; of the 916 named characters that populate Martin's world, a third have died, alongside uncounted nameless ones.

The shiny app is deployed here

This analysis is inspired by Allen Downey's Bayesian survival analysis for Game of Thrones, relevant data are available from here

• Though there aren't terribly many female characters, Martin expected men to fall off in droves at the battlefield while their wives stayed home alive. It's certainly not a bad thing for a female lived in Westeros. The women of Westeros appear to have a better chance of surviving then the men.

• Nightwatch no doubt suffered most in the analysis. But this is probably not a good method of predicting anything about future.

• Finally, I definitely do not want to live there because I'm a man!
