A package about reproducible shiny of figure 3 in “COVID-19 in low-tolerance border quarantine systems: Impact of the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2”,(Zachreson et al., 2022). The outcome is a reproducible multi-layered heat map. Under the same quarantine system, the community infection pressure(in the article the authors aggregate the infectivity of all leaks in the community into a single indicator, β\beta_tot) due to breach events relative size relative to a “baseline case”, and how they will change with two things VE and R0

The goal of myappkg is to get heap maps under specific range of R0 (virus spead capability) and VE (vaccine efficiency).

Installation

You can install the development version of myappkg from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
remotes::install_github("ETC5523-2025/assignment-4-packages-and-shiny-apps-shaocaoyu-01")
#> Skipping install of 'myappkg' from a github remote, the SHA1 (2464b7f5) has not changed since last install.
#>   Use `force = TRUE` to force installation

Usage Examples

The following steps demonstrates how to use this to get a fresh heatmap. 1. Open the inst/app/app.R 2. Click on the Run button

Developing

In addition to providing the heat map, myappkg also provide the contour of the β\beta_tot, the line chart of the β\beta_tot vs VE by R0 and the line chart of the β\beta_tot vs R0 by VE. Besides, it provides the raw data download and preview functions.
