@alinasmahl1 Initial draft of the app is done and ready for review or sent out to coauthors.

URL: https://drexel-uhc.shinyapps.io/LE_Income_Inequalities_City_dev/

New things/changes:

• Analysis_edits.R update to include data processing for the app.
• UHC themed layout.Let me know if you prefer not have it with UHC/Drexel branding. And if there are any layout changes (padding,margins,text, size ... ETC) you wan change, just comment in the issues created above.
• Home page text: I drafted an intro blurb for the app. You can edit it at 'App/introJS/app_intro_text.doc'.
• "Tour" feature added for app and each figure. You can edit the tour text by changes to the text in the tables contained in this folder https://github.com/usamabilal/LE_Income_Inequalities_City/tree/main/App/introJS.
• Tab-specific requests implemented. See individual issues created above.

@rl627 thank you!!!

this looks great!

I made a couple changes to the intro, appendix table 1, etc. Pushed all those changes.

@alinasmahl1 thanks for the changes (gj navigating the HTML file 😄 ). Changes have been pushed to app and deployed to the link above.

Thanks!

@usamabilal want to take a look at the app?

Looks fantastic! a few comments:

• [x] Home: I'd add contact information for correspoinding author (ALina)
• [x] Table 1: Can we add a column next to region with the size of the MSA? that'd be really helpful to grasp differences. I was going to suggest to add a way of filtering cities by region, but i see the search field allows that.
• [x] Fig 1: I love the tour here! One minor thing, in relative disparities for both total and income-based, it seems like things are being rounded and the figure looks odd. This doesnt happen in the other ones
• [x] Fig 2: can the background be gray? as it is right now, it seems rural areas have the narrowest inequalities. It'd also be great to try to have WI/ME in a different color (or some sort of crossed/line pattern), to signal their missingness
• [x] Fig 3: can we add a footnote saying something like "Grayed lines in the background represent all cities". Moreover, i wonder if we can "highlight" the city with the tooltip, so that when you go over a city and the tooltip shows up, the plot only shows that figure in color (and leaves the other cities in gray). may be useufl to see the inequities in a specific city. In other words, when you hover over a city, we now have 3 types of geometries: a gray line in the background (same as before), a gray line + pch=21 points in black/gray in the "semi background", and the colored line + pch 21 points in color at the forefront (hovered over city)

thanks!

Thanks Ran, this is looking great!!

• [x] @alinasmahl1 , i suggest you explain somewhere in the main page which CBSAs were excluded (or at least why). Right now not having Chicago reads odd.
• [x] @rl627 , i noticed that the outliers of Figure 1 are still showing, leading to black points that do not have a hover-over tooltip. can they be removed?

I love how figure 3 looks now btw!! Thanks!

[alinasmahl1]

Agree -- it looks great! I'll add the description about CBSA inclusion to the intro.

@rl627 I realized that the title for table 1 needs the word Disparities added (so it should read "Absolute and Relative Disparities in Life Expectancy in US MSAs >1 million people" -- I couldn't find the file with the figure titles, sorry!!

[ran-codes]

Thanks, @usamabilal for the great suggestions as always 😄 and @alinasmahl1 for editing the home page HTML file.

The new blurb was added to the main page. Figure 1 outlier dots removed (the hover effect is still there, but we cant remove that; it is just part of plotly boxplots, it always keeps the min because its part of the 5 tooltips components (max, upper fence, q3, median, q1, lower fence, min)).

[alinasmahl1]

Wonderful, thank you @rl627 !! I think it's all looking great.

Is this still the appropriate link? https://drexel-uhc.shinyapps.io/LE_Income_Inequalities_City_dev/ Hoping to send the app out to the other co-authors along with the manuscript

[ran-codes]

Yup, this is the correct link. I guess before submission we can the URL to what ever we want. probably replace inequalities with disparities and remove dev. Or should we do that now?

[alinasmahl1]

I think lets leave it for now, but we can get rid of the dev part and change to disparities before submission.
