Chapter 6 Results Visualization and Communication

About:

This section of the repository details our process and code for developing the FishViz RShiny application to visualize and communicate key results from our modeling efforts. The code for this stage is available from the FishViz App repository. The application is available here.

6.1 Steps

This stage includes two steps:

1. Processing results from SDM Fitting and Projecting stage to create summaries for RShiny App. We wrote a couple of functions to pull together our projection results for hosting on the repository. The code is found in the [TargetsSDM repository] and specifically the run_shiny_funcs.R script, which uses the functions in the shiny_support_funcs.R code.

2. Running the app. With the results summarized and distributed to the application repository, we then run the code in the FishViz App repository to deploy the RShiny application.

6.2 Output

The output from this stage is the FishViz Application. Although this seems like the “final” stage, it really just starts the cycle again as we learn more about the model behavior by analyzing the outputs, and identify areas for model improvement.
