A data.table with breakpoint set to 1 on each of the specified
dates.
Arguments
data
A <data.frame> of disease reports (confirm) by date (date).
confirm must be numeric and date must be in date format. Optionally
this can also have a logical accumulate column which indicates whether
data should be added to the next data point. This is useful when modelling
e.g. weekly incidence data. See also the fill_missing() function which
helps add the accumulate column with the desired properties when dealing
with non-daily data. If any accumulation is done this happens after
truncation as specified by the truncation argument.
