check_reports_valid function

Validate data input

check_reports_valid() checks that the supplied data is a <data.frame>, and that it has the right column names and types. In particular, it checks that the date column is in date format and does not contain NAs, and that the other columns are numeric.

check_reports_valid(
  data,
  model = c("estimate_infections", "estimate_secondary")
)

Arguments

• data: A data frame with either:

  • a minimum of two columns: date and confirm, if to be used by estimate_infections() or estimate_truncation(), or
  • a minimum of three columns: date, primary, and secondary, if to be used by estimate_secondary().

• model: The EpiNow2 model to be used. Either "estimate_infections", "estimate_truncation", or "estimate_secondary". This is used to determine which checks to perform on the data input.
