![[Stable]](figures/lifecycle-stable.svg)
Cleans a data frame of reported cases by replacing missing dates with 0 cases and applies an optional
threshold at which point 0 cases are replaced with a moving average of observed cases. See zero_threshold
for details.
create_clean_reported_cases(reported_cases, horizon, zero_threshold = 50)Arguments
- reported_cases
A data frame of confirmed cases (confirm) by date (date). confirm must be integer and date must be in date format.
- horizon
Numeric, defaults to 7. Number of days into the future to forecast.
- zero_threshold
![[Experimental]](figures/lifecycle-experimental.svg)
Numeric defaults to 50. Indicates if detected zero
cases are meaningful by using a threshold of 50 cases on average over the last 7 days. If the average is
above this threshold then the zero is replaced with the backwards looking rolling average. If set to infinity
then no changes are made.
Value
A cleaned data frame of reported cases
