Dashboards
Interactive dashboards are my favorite tools to explain complicated concepts or to let others explore data for themselves. To that end, below are a few I’ve made. Some are educational tools I used in teaching, the others are fun apps for exploring data. All run in the browser or on a free host.
Teaching
Teach Yourself SQL
A browser-only Shiny app that teaches SQL to people who already know the basics of R that I built to teach myself SQL. Each tab builds one clause of a query on a live SQLite database then gives users a live editor to test their knowledge. Source
Self-guided Tour of T-Tests and ANOVA
A ground-up visual explanation of common statistical procedures that uses interactive figures to (hopefully) demystify some of the more obtuse concepts. Source
Fun with Data
LA28 Olympic Schedule Builder
In preparation for the LA28 Olympic Games, this little app creates custom schedules for different events based on user interest, budget, and location. First load may take a few seconds while the free host wakes up. Source
