Description

The DistPlotter R package includes an interactive Shiny application, which is run locally on the user's machine. It enables users to plot common univariate distributions and was designed with a particular focus on education. Users can plot distributions based on general shape (e.g., symmetric vs. skewed right) and distributions from common discrete and continuous families. They can also shade areas underneath the curve (e.g., areas corresponding to general probabilities, p-values, or confidence levels). Users can additionally plot their own quantitative data, as well as overlay a normal density curve and shade area(s) underneath.
