Dashboard in RShiny

Overview and Rationale

There are a variety of tools used to create visualizations based on data. One of those tools is 

RShiny. It is important to be able to use RShiny to create charts and graphs to present data 

in an easy to understand format for an audience.

Course Outcomes

This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course 

syllabus:

CO1 Apply strategies for systematic visual exploration of multidimensional and 

heterogeneous data sets using XY plots, histograms, bar charts, etc.

Assignment

Use RShiny to create several data visualizations based on the data for your final project. 

These visualizations are to be created individually, not with your group.

Create a dashboard with at least three visualizations for the data in your final project. 

These can be the visualizations that were created with Tableau, but recreated using RShiny.

However, if you found, through your previous assignment, that there are changes or 

additional visualizations you need to make, be sure to include these. This dashboard should 

present the key information for your intended audience and answer the questions you 

identified.

You will also submit your RShiny code in a separate submission.

The dashboard should:

 Include as many different visualizations as needed. These should be of varying types

 Answer the research/business question and display the key information that the 

intended audience needs

 Be easy to navigate and visually appealing

 Reflect the data accurately and generally communicate the data appropriately

 Tells a story

The code submission should:

 Provide notation to explain the visualizations you are creating. Focus how they

answers the questions you identified.

 The code for the visualizations  The output generated by the code
