Web Application Development for Inferential Statistics using R Shiny

Abstract

The rapid development of world technology has a major influence in the world of education and can be used to support learning activities. Regarding the rapid advancement of computers, statistics learning can be done with many online computer simulations. Computer simulation and visualization in supporting statistics learning is necessary to design program well. This can increase interest, motivation and understanding in learning statistics both theory and application, so it is not boring. Many frameworks can be used to build website-based applications; one of them is the Shiny Web Framework. Shiny is a package of the R programming language that makes the users easily build web-based applications. By using R-shiny, the users are not required to master R program because it has friendly and interactive web-based menus. Therefore, R-shiny is very good as a complement in statistic learning that the users are able to focus more on statistical concepts without being limited their ability to master statistical software.
