| Description: | We visualize the standard deviation of a data set as the radius of a cylinder whose volume equals the total volume of several cylinders made by revolving the empirical cumulative distribution function about the vertical line through the mean.

Visualizing the Standard Deviation via Revolution
Description
We visualize the standard deviation of a data set by revolving the empirical cumulative distribution function about the vertical line through the mean. The total volume of the collection of cylinders is equated to the volume of a single cylinder of height 1. The radius of this single cylinder is the standard deviation.
Usage
revsd(data, shouldInstallAllPackages)
Arguments
data |
The data that a user inputs, usually a vector of values. |
shouldInstallAllPackages |
An optional argument, takes a boolean value as input which decides whether or not to install the following packages which are required to launch the application: shiny, shinydashboard, plotrix, and shinyWidgets. FALSE by default. |
Value
No return value, the function will open a new window and display a shiny interactive application.
Examples
revsd(c(10,18,23,30,36), shouldInstallAllPackages = FALSE)
