About UofG:
The Plant Agriculture Department of the University of Guelph is Canada’s largest and most diverse applied plant biology department.
About the project:
We are designing and developing an R shiny application to preprocess big datasets, especially for plant breeders. Using this application, scientists can deal with any abnormalities in their dataset and extract many features and relations between their data.
Some main features:
Detect missing values and visualize their pattern. Refine missing values. Visualize data distribution using density plot, box plot, violin plot, and scatter plot. Detecting outliers using different models. Ability to check outliers one by one or in different groups carefully. Data normalization. four different menus for variance and spatial analysis. and so many other options for handling datasets.
My technology stack at of the University of Guelph:
R package developer, Shinyapp developer, Software Designer, UX Designer, GUI Designer, and Statistical Data Analysis.
Some of the libraries that I worked with:
R developer, shiny, shinydashboard, testthat, testServer, tidyverse, datatable, ggplot2, ggpubr, dplyr, DT, tible, golem, plumber and etc.
