consistency_check: Consistency Check Function

Description

This function performs a consistency check to ensure that the number of tests is greater than the number of cases for given columns in a dataset. It returns a ggplot2 object visualizing the results.

Usage

consistency_check(data, tests, cases)

Value

A ggplot2::ggplot() object showing the consistency between the number of tests and cases. The x-axis represents the cases, and the y-axis represents the tests. Each facet represents a disease, and the diagonal line shows where the number of tests equals the number of cases.

Arguments

data

A data frame containing the test and case data.

tests

A character vector specifying the column names for the test data.

cases

A character vector specifying the column names for the case data. The length of 'tests' and 'cases' must be the same, and each element in 'tests' corresponds to an element in 'cases'.

Examples

# check the consistency between malaria tests and cases

# get path
path <- system.file(
        "extdata",
        "fake_epi_df_togo.rds",
         package = "epiCleanr")

fake_epi_df_togo <- import(path)

consistency_check(fake_epi_df_togo,
                  tests = c("malaria_tests","cholera_tests"),
                  cases = c("malaria_cases", "cholera_cases"))
