Shiny app: plot mi-hd results

This Shiny app allows you to interact with the results in the study "High-dimensional imputation for the social sciences: a comparison of state-of-the-art methods".

1. Installing the Shiny app as an R package

You can install the Shiny app by using one of the methods described below.

1.1 Install from GitHub

Open an R session.
Install devtools, an R package that provides a way to install other R packages directly from GitHub. Run the following R command in the console:
```
install.packages("devtools")
```

Run the following command:

devtools::install_github("https://github.com/EdoardoCostantini/plotmihd")

1.2 Install from a local folder

Download the package from GitHub or Zendo.
Unzip the package.
Open an R session, and install what is needed.

First, install dependencies nFactors and shinyWidgets.
```
install.packages("shinyWidgets")
install.packages("nFactors")
```
Then, install the Shiny app by running:
```
install.packages(
    "path to the folder containing the package",
    repos = NULL,
    type = "source"
)
```
For example, on a Windows computer, this could be:
```
install.packages(
    "C:/Users/Name/Downloads/plotmihd-develop/",
    repos = NULL,
    type = "source"
)
```
Note: because you are using the install.packages() dependencies cannot be automatically installed. If you get an error message indicating some dependencies are missing, please install them independently and try again.

2. Using the Shiny app

To start the shiny apps and interact with the plots, open an R session and load the package:

library("plotmihd")

Then, run the following command in the R console:

start_app()

The app interface will explain how to interact with it.
