Predictions of car accident in NYC based on weather data:

This shiny app shows how the IBM Data Science Experience was leveraged to show the results of a car accident predictive model in New York City. The model was trained using historical data of car accidents and IBM weather's data. The weather conditions per zip code were used as features to train a logistic regression model that predicts the probability of a car accident at the zip code level.

Running the Shiny App
  • Download the predict-accidents zip file to your laptop (no need to unzip!)
  • Open RStudio in Data Science Experience from the left navigation bar
  • On the bottom right panel of RStudio, under "Files", click on the "Upload" option
  • Click on "Choose File" and browse for the "predict-accidents.zip" on your laptop (dowloaded on the first step)
  • Click on the "predict-accidents" directory
  • Open the server.R file by clicking on it in RStudio
  • On the top left panel, open the shiny app by clicking on the "Run App" button

You should get a really cool map that shows the probabilities of car accidents per zip code. On the right panel of the app you can interact with the app by choosing the desired date and time of interest. Click on the circles to get the zip code and the probability.

Analyzing flight delays:

This shiny app shows how the IBM Data Science Experience was leveraged to show an interactive map to analyze flight delays. The app can be used to explore the average flight delays (in minutes) for each airport. The user can interact with the app by choosing the month and year to be explored. In addition, the user can click on airport to get the airport name, code, state and city. The size of the circles depends on the volume of flights for each airport.

Running the Shiny App
