validate_set

This function checks if all elements of an input are within a specified set
of valid values. Depending on the specified type, it will either throw an
error, issue a warning, or send a message.

Hospitals, hospital systems, and even trauma systems that
provide care to injured patients may not be aware of robust metrics
that can help gauge the efficacy of their programs in saving the lives
of injured patients. 'traumar' provides robust functions driven by
the academic literature to automate the calculation of relevant
metrics to individuals desiring to measure the performance of their
trauma center or even a trauma system. 'traumar' also provides some
helper functions for the data analysis journey. Users can refer to the
following publications for descriptions of the methods used in
'traumar'. TRISS methodology, including probability of survival, and
the W, M, and Z Scores - Flora (1978)

<dl><dt>input</dt>
<dd>The data to be validated.</dd>
<dt>valid_set</dt>
<dd>A vector of valid values.</dd>
<dt>type</dt>
<dd>A character string specifying the type of message to be displayed
if the input is not numeric or if the values are out of range. Must be one
of "error", "warning", or "message".</dd>

<dd>Logical. If TRUE, NA values are allowed. Default is TRUE.</dd>
<dt>null_ok</dt>
<dd>Logical. If TRUE, NULL values are allowed. Default is TRUE.</dd>
<dt>var_name</dt>
<dd>Optional. A character string giving the desired variable (or
object) name that will appear in console output in place of the how the
object will typically be named in messages via deparse(substitute(input)).</dd>
