This repository includes a small application that allows you to examine World Bank data on under-5 mortality rates.
It collects information between 1990 and 2020.
- ui.R and server.R deploy the application which is also available on shinyapps.io.
- The data is available in u5mr.csv and as an RData file. You can download the same data using the gather_u5mr.R script.
Dependencies
It relies on the Leaflet for R package. Other dependencies include shiny, markdown, geojsonio, and core tidyverse packages. World Bank Development Indicator Data was collected with the aid of the WDI package and associated maps can be downloaded from its data catalog here.
Usage
The map shows variation in mortality rates throughout the world for a specified year.
The trend line shows changes in mortality rate for a specific country. (Try "south korea" to see something interesting.)
Issues
The app draws more countries than their is data (e.g. Micronesia). When switching years, the shiny app redraws slowly.
