Updates to dashboard (PN3)

Please update figure 1 so that the y axis includes zero for all outcomes. There's also a negative value for the top/bottom ratio and disparities for income based differences, which doesn't really make sense.

Please update figure 3 so that it's now showing the mean, sd, and cv -- see the code lines 299-409

Analysis_edits.R bug fixes in RL Branch; merge to master?

@alinasmahl1 I made some changes to Analysis_edits.R on my own branch. Can you run the code in this branch to see if it works for you? If it's okay then we can merge into master.

Changes (you can see a list of things changed in my commits on my branch here ):

• fixed an issue where 'region' was overwritten with a model and cause bugs
• Appendix 3 figure debugged

Table 1

Updates to Dashboard

@rl627 can you please update the figures on the dashboard so that they now use the median estimates? The code for the figures pulls through the medians, so shouldn't take much to update. Note, we've added one more metric - the between group variance. Can you please add this to figure 1?

For Table 1, can we please also include the 2.5 and 97.5% in the table? So repeat the main text Table 1, but for all MSAs (not just those with pops>1 million) and still include all the interactive features you've already created.

Can you please also add a toggle so figures can be shown for life expectancy at birth, age 25 or age 65 for figures 1 & 3?

Can we also update the text about what the article does- so that we remove "2) extends visualizations to all US MSAs including those with populations of less than 1 million residents" to "extends Table 1 to all US MSAs including those with populations of less than 1 million resident, and 3) allows exploration of the Figure 1 using all 10 disparity measures."

Please let me know if there's any q's.
