Introduction

This summarises the use of my shiny apps (at https://shiny.psyctc.org/). The page is regenerated to reflect the latest data usually a bit after 03.00 UTC (previously GMT).

I am not using any way to separate different users and session is per app, so if someone used multiple apps during one visit to the server, each app used is counts as a separate session.

App uses per day

I can identify one early spike after the apps were publicised through the Systemic Research Centre Email list (5.iii.24) and a smaller one after a posting to the IDANET list (9.iii.24). There are later bursts that I can’t directly ascribe to any publicity.

Mean sessions per day, broken down by week

More sensibly, here is the plot by week, actually plotting the sessions per day and counting from the launch from the launch on 7.ii.24. Where the last week is still an incomplete week that has been taken into account in the calculations, i.e. the plot shows the mean for the number of days so far in that most recent week. 95% CIs are Poisson model estimates.

Breaking that down by app gives me this.

And facetting by app gives this.

Sessions per Month

This is still mapping mean number of sessions per day, but broken down by month.

The first month was incomplete and the last month will usually be incomplete, that is taken into consideration in computing these session per day rates.

Numbers of sessions per app

Here is an interactive table with the usage stats for each app. The names of the apps are clickable links to the apps. You can search the apps and perhaps most usefully, you can change the column sorting using the headers of the columns and you can export the data should you have such an appetite!

Warning: the rest of this output is not that important!!!

The rest of this is unchanged as of code I wrote a few years ago soon after I got my shiny apps up and running. I’m not convinced it’s very useful but I’ve left it hear for now!

The columns of Sessions per day and of Percentage days used are rather misleading as different apps have been available for very different numbers of days. I won’t be able to get a less misleading forest plot of the mean usage per day per app until there has been far more usage than we have had so far so I will maybe add that later in the year.

However, I can get confidence intervals for proportions on what usage we already have so here’s a less misleading forest plot of proportion of the available days on which each app was used. The dotted reference line marks the overall usage as a proportion of days available across all the apps.

Here’s a map of usage per app against dates. The sizes of the points show how many times the app was used on that day. The y axis sorts by first date used and then by descending total number of times used.

That shows that many of the apps were first used on the same day (7.ii.2024) which was the day I set up this logging. I tested all the then existing apps that day so all appear on that day.

Time of day

I’ve broken this down by hour. The server is to some extent protected behind a proxy at my ISP which is good for forcing https access but it does mean that I don’t know where people come from so this is all UMT (i.e. old “GMT”: internet time). I think it also suggests, assuming that most accesses are during working hours, that most visitors/users are coming to the site from Europe or the Americas.

Browsers

For what little it’s worth, here are the browser IDs picked up by shiny (in descending order of frequency).

The value of “ahrefs.com/robot/” is my translation of accesses that identify their browser as: “Netscape 5.0 (compatible; AhrefsBot/7.0; +http://ahrefs.com/robot/) -?”.

For reasons I don’t understand, my open source shiny does not seem to detect Microsoft Edge. I have used the apps with Edge (ugh) and it didn’t show up here. If you know why, or even how to detect Edge, do tell me (https://www.psyctc.org/psyctc/contact-me/)!

I am a little bit interested in when these crawlers come and go so …

Durations of sessions

A bit more interesting is the durations of the sessions.
Some sessions don’t have a recorded termination time, currently that’s true for 2395, i.e. 24.1% of the sessions. This could include occasional session still active at the time at which the copy of the database was pulled. However, I think most will be where someone leaves the session open. I have capped the sessions at one hour in the analyses below.

Here are the descriptive statistics.

durMinsAll includes all the sessions so far, durMinsCapped treats all sessions recorded as lasting 60 minutes as such, more realistically, durMinsCensored ignores those sessions assuming that they were abandoned sessions. (This shows a maximum duration of 60 minutes as session durations were measured to a fraction of a second so any duration of over 59’30" and less than 60’0" is rounded up to 60 minutes and counted as a genuine 60 minutes!).

Most of the sessions, as you would expect given the nature of the apps, are sessions lasting only a few minutes. If I use the censoring and ignore all the sessions that lasted more than an hour on the plausible assumption that they were abandoned sessions rather than someone continuing to try different parameters for any app for more than an hour then there have been 6379 such sessions so far. Of these 461 lasted under a minute. I guess it’s possible to launch an app and get useful output if only wanting the default parameters in under a minute but I think it would be rare so I think we can regard these as “just looking” sessions and they represent 7.2% of the 6379 uncensored sessions.

The number of sessions lasting a minute (rounding to the nearest minute) was 3030, i.e. 47.5% of the uncensored sessions. I think these probably represent very quick but perhaps genuine uses of an app.

That leaves 2888 sessions lasting longer than a minute but less than an hour i.e. 45.3% of the uncensored sessions, I think these can be regarded as sessions in which someone entered parameters and perhaps played around with different parameters and perhaps noted or pulled down outputs.

For now (August 2024) I see those as pretty sensible breakdown proportions. I guess that as time goes by it may be interesting to break things down by months and by apps but for now the numbers don’t really merit that and the effects of different apps being added at different times mean that the two variables of app and month are structurally entwined.

Values input

Where it might be useful to me to know more about the usage I am logging input values for some apps. Here’s the breakdown of the numbers of sessions in which inputs were recorded.

And here are the variables by app, nVisits is the total number of sessions with recorded inputs for that app, nVars is the number of variables that have been input for that app. Finally, nVals is the number of distinct values that have been input for that variable.

So far nVars is a fixed number for each app as it’s going to be maximum number of input values the app requests from the user. Some apps, e.g. RCI1, have a variable “compute” that is just the button instructing the app to run which wasn’t present in early iterations of the app. Another change is that as I get more savvy about shiny some apps, perhaps existing ones, may develop a step-by-step interface so that the numbers of variables input for each use of the app may differ a bit depending on what the user has chosen to do.

Inputs for the RCI1 app

It becomes a bit messy to analyse the inputs as it has to be done (as far as I can currently see) individually by app. It was quite useful as I could see that it had, at least at some point, been possible to enter impossible zero values for reliability and SD. I have now filtered those values out.

Here’s a breakdown for RCI1. These counts only include values that the user entered manually so if the user just left the value at the default value that isn’t counted (however, if the user changes it and then back to the default value, that entry of the default value is counted). I guess I could fix that by filling in the default value where a variable doesn’t appear in the inputs for the session. I’m not sure that’s sufficiently interesting to be worth the faff.

I guess that the .7 entry for the CI was probably me checking the app worked even for that value but I can’t remember for sure. Otherwise it seems entirely sensible that the only other non-default value was .9. The spread of the reliability values is more interesting and looks sensible to me, similarly for the SD.

I guess I could make the app a more interesting information gathering tools if I invited users to input the scale/score being used (i.e. “CORE-OM total”, “BDI-II total”) and even perhaps also ask about dataset (e.g. “my last six months baseline values”, or “the Sheffield X study”) but I think the amount of post-processing that would be necessary to get anything even halfway clean out of that seems unlikely to make this worth the programming/cleaning hassle.
