Motivation

Terrorism has been on the rise since the late 1900s to today. Using the open-source Global Terrorism Database (GTD), we hope to explore and visualize the various trends of terrorism events around the world. We hope to understand the nature of these events using information such as the date and location of the incident, the weapons used, the number of casualties, and the group or individual responsible for these events.

Objectives

1. Provide interactive platform for data analysis

2. Represent terrorism data in easy to understand visualizations.

3. Discover insights that can be derived from visualizations.

Data Source

<Coming Soon>

Deliverables

Analysis will be provided in the form of a visualization platform.

Users will be able to make changes to various parameters to do exploratory analysis.

Graphs and charts will be used to showcase the various difference and correlations of data.

Main packages used will be ggplot2 and R Shiny,
