Chapter 8 Shiny App and NYC 311 Data

8.1 Introduction

The purpose of this chapter was to create my own shiny app and explore the NYC 311 data set. In this app I explored the agency and complaint types, and the location of the complaints. ## 311 Data Expoloration Continued Today we are expanding our exploration of the NYC 311 dataset and shiny app!

8.2 Loading our libraries

8.6 Conclusion

We can see that the agency with the most compaint types is the Department of Sanitation. There are some agencies that don’t show any data on the type of complaints which may be an error in the coding or that they don’t have any recorded complaints.
