Exploring Quarantine Breach Rates with the DeltaQ Shiny App

deltaq-app.Rmd

Overview

The deltaq package provides access to simulated 7-day quarantine breach rate data for Australia and its states and territories, covering 27 October 2020 – 31 July 2021.

The included DeltaQ: Breach Data Explorer Shiny app offers an intuitive visualisation of breach rates across jurisdictions. It enables you to:

  • Compare breach rate trends between states and territories side-by-side.

  • Select any combination of states for focused comparison.

  • Filter the date range between 27 October 2020 and 31 July 2021 to zoom into specific periods.

  • This makes it easy to see where and when jurisdictions were more susceptible to breaches.

Launching the app

The app is packaged with deltaq and can be launched directly:

Launch the Shiny app (interactive)

deltaq::launch_app()

Use the controls to pick multiple jurisdictions and narrow the date window. The main panel shows daily breach-rate time series; a short guide below the plot summarises how each state changed.

Data used by the app

The app uses deltaq::breach, with REPORT_DATE plus one numeric column per jurisdiction (breach rate per day).

  • library(deltaq)
  • data(“breach”)
  • str(breach)
