Convenience function that sets the number of
{data.table}
cores to 1 and
maps input to be a {data.table}
setup_dt(data)
A data table
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.
