This repository contains the source code for R Shiny application hosted at slathwal.shinyapps.io/pdac-app. The app contains analysis of pancreatic cancer data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
The application was created to play with some of the new R packages and to keep my skills up-to-date while on a break. Some interesting packages used in the app are as follows:
- rtables - A package developed as part of work done by working groups at R consortium. The package allows creation of tables that are ready for submission of clinical trial data to regulatory health authorities.
- circlize - A package used to create data visualizations in a circular format. The package is very complex and I used only a part of it. ChatGPT was instrumental in helping me understand and get to the parts I needed quickly.
- shinywidgets - A versatile package that I used to display informational notes to users.
The following resources were very helpful while creating the application:
