as: Coerce to and from an incidence object

In incidence2: Compute, Handle and Plot Incidence of Dated Events

Coerce to and from an incidence object

Description

Generic for coercion to an ⁠<incidence2>⁠ object.

Usage

as_incidence(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
as_incidence(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'incidence2'
as_incidence(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'incidence2'
as.data.frame(x, row.names, optional, ...)

## S3 method for class 'incidence2'
as.data.table(x, keep.rownames, ...)

## S3 method for class 'incidence2'
as_tibble(x, ..., .rows, .name_repair, rownames)

Arguments

x	An R object.
...	Additional arguments to be passed to or from other methods.
row.names	Not used.
optional	Not used.
keep.rownames	Not used.
.rows	The number of rows, useful to create a 0-column tibble or just as an additional check.
.name_repair	Treatment of problematic column names: "minimal": No name repair or checks, beyond basic existence, "unique": Make sure names are unique and not empty, "check_unique": (default value), no name repair, but check they are unique, "universal": Make the names unique and syntactic a function: apply custom name repair (e.g., .name_repair = make.names for names in the style of base R). A purrr-style anonymous function, see rlang::as_function() This argument is passed on as repair to vctrs::vec_as_names(). See there for more details on these terms and the strategies used to enforce them.
rownames	How to treat existing row names of a data frame or matrix: NULL: remove row names. This is the default. NA: keep row names. A string: the name of a new column. Existing rownames are transferred into this column and the row.names attribute is deleted. No name repair is applied to the new column name, even if x already contains a column of that name. Use as_tibble(rownames_to_column(...)) to safeguard against this case. Read more in rownames.

Value

An object of the desired type with additional attributes dropped.

Examples

if (requireNamespace("outbreaks", quietly = TRUE)) {
    data(ebola_sim_clean, package = "outbreaks")
    dat <- ebola_sim_clean$linelist
    x <- incidence(dat, "date_of_onset")
    as.data.frame(dat)
    as.data.table(x)
    as_tibble(x)
}
