    stathack's avatarNERDS RULE!

    I’ve been interested in building a web app using R for a while, but never put any time into it until I was informed of the Shiny package.  It looked too easy, so I absolutely had to try it out.

    First you need to install the package from the command line .

    options(repos=c(RStudio="http://rstudio.org/_packages", getOption("repos")))
    install.packages("shiny")

    The version in the tutorial uses a two R files, won the front end(ui.R) and the other being the server side (server.R).  However, I wanted a refresher in HTML, so I built it with one HTML and one R file.  The structure is defined here.

    For the data, I’m using MLS (home sales) data for Philadelphia, which I’ve been sitting on for quite a while.  The thought behind the app is to be able to examine monthly average listing prices to monthly average prices, and in the end it turned out rather well.

  • 11-2

     

     

    11-2 this week against the spread with Green Bay, Tampa Bay, and San Diego all narrowly covering.  I’ve got Chicago tonight +5.5 with a predicted total of 51 as a tie breaker.  I don’t really think they are going to get anywhere close to 51, but I’m also not about to abandon the system that got me an 11-2 week.  So, I’m predicting San Francisco 27-24 tonight with the Bears covering in a loss.

  • Baltimore vs Pittsburgh

    I’m in two different NFL pools, and the spreads lock at different times during the week.  Early in the week Baltimore was +3.5, and by the end of the week Pittsburgh was +3.5.  So, I have Baltimore +3.5 in one pool, and Pittsburgh +3.5 in the other.  Winning both would be nice, and looks very possible right now.
