PN1 Review

[ran-codes]

@jlkephart @usamabilal

Prototype number 1 (PN1) is ready for review: https://drexel-uhc.shinyapps.io/MS85/

Feedback please

PN1 should have most of the features you requested but still needs polishing (please see the next section of things I know need fixing). Let me know what you think about it so far and provide feedback:

• if there are any features you wanted that is missing?
• any text/figures you want changed/fixed/added?

Things to polishing in PN2

• [ ] Maps
  • [ ] of RR should be categorical
  • [ ] Map pallette direction needs to be consistent with the paper
• [ ] tab names: (e.g. beeswarm should be replaced with distribution.... ETC)
• [ ] Figure axis labels
• [ ] City-specific page layout needs to be polished (the PNG and table layout looks messy). Perhaps do dashbaord stat boxes instead of the table.
• [ ] Home page with Manuscript abstract, titles, authors ... ETC need to be added
• [ ] Footer needs to be added

This is great! Issues I can see:

Hover text box over map points: -Remove SALID1, and any other visible references to SALID1 throughout the app -Round Mean Temp to one decimal place throughout the app

Age Group: -Replace "crude" with "all-ages" -Default to all-ages

Change "RR of heat-related mortality" to "Mortality risk per 1C higher extreme heat" Change "RR of heat-related mortality" to "Mortality risk per 1C lower extreme cold"

City-specific Tab: Add ability to select cities via clicking on map

Major issue: Add maps of excess death fraction (EDF, confusingly called "AF" in the dataset) for all heat and all cold, as additional Metrics (all cold, extreme cold, all heat, extreme heat). This can also be the primary bivariate comparison with RR, instead of mean temp. So, RR of heat vs. EDF for extreme heat and same for cold

Forgot to say sorry about the EDF - I missed that before!

• For both: i wonder what's the best color scale for this. I feel like the idea is to highlight "away from 1", so the color scale should be divergent, but with a clear shift towards "less colorful" things when closer to 1.
• Btw, loving the city-specific tab. I know this may be a big ask but it may also benefit the main salurbal app: is there any way that clicking on a city in the map would bring the city up?
• On the city specific detail, i am wondering if we could have a plot with some interactivity that helps the viewer interpret results. e.g. if you hover over the point at 20C and it has an RR of 1.3, we could hav ea tooltip saying "an RR of 1.3 means that mortaltiy is 30% higher when temperature is 20C as compared to 24 (minimum temperature blalba).?

(and please, feel free to ignore my suggestions/feedback! I"m just some external reviewer here :-P; @jlkephart your call! )

@usama,

1) eventually these will be 5 discrete color categories, with the lowest cat being [<= 1], so we can anchor the coloring at 1 and diverge the color in one direction only (upwards) .

2) Agreed

3) love this idea, not the immediate priority but would be great if we can incorporate in the future

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Everything seems rational and feasible = ). I have compiled the feedback as a tasklist in #7.

@jlkephart quick q about this: can you supply the hex codes for this divergent pallete?

[jlkephart]

These are the colors used in Figure 3 in the manuscript, 5 classes, viridis: plasma

"#F0F921FF" "#F89441FF" "#CC4678FF" "#7E03A8FF" "#0D0887FF"
