In accrued: Data Quality Visualization Tools for Partially Accruing Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Creates an upload pattern plot for partially accruing data showing dates at which new data were received for each encounter date.

1	uploadPattern(x, horizontal = FALSE, ...)

`x`	An object of the `accrued` class.
`horizontal`	logical value; if TRUE a compact horizontal plot is generated, if FALSE a diagonal upload plot is generated.
`...`	Parameters to pass to `plot`.

A diagonal upload pattern plot displays for each encounter date (x-axis) whether or not new data was received at each upload date (y-axis). A horizontal upload pattern plot displays for each encounter date (x-axis) whether or not new data were received y days after the encounter date. Note that this function calls the "stackedUploadData" which should only be used on count data. If data were received containing 0 or negative counts, pixels are colored in gray. Otherwise they are dark blue.

None.
