Description

[Deprecated]

Usage

default_fill_missing_obs(data, obs, obs_column)

Value

data set with missing dates filled in as na values

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.

obs

A list of options as generated by obs_opts() defining the observation model. Defaults to obs_opts().

obs_column

Character (default: "confirm"). If given, only the column specified here will be used for checking missingness. This is useful if using a data set that has multiple columns of hwich one of them corresponds to observations that are to be processed here.
