validate_ankom: Validate Processed Rumen Gas Production Data

In rumenGP: Rumen Gas Production Modeling, Comparison, and Visualization

Validate Processed Rumen Gas Production Data

Description

Performs quality-control checks on a rumen_gp object.

Usage

validate_ankom(data)

Arguments

data	A rumen_gp object.

Details

Supported data sources include datasets created by:

• process_ankom()

• as_rumen_gp()

Validation checks may include:

• Required columns

• Missing values

• Duplicate observations

• Time ordering

• Gas production values

• ANKOM-specific pressure checks

ANKOM-specific checks are performed only when Gas_PSI is available.

This function is useful for confirming that a dataset is suitable for downstream modeling, visualization, and model comparison workflows.

Value

The validated rumen_gp object.

Examples

files <- example_data()

raw_data <- read_ankom(
  files$ankom
)

metadata <- read_metadata(
  files$metadata
)

gp <- process_ankom(
  raw_data,
  metadata,
  headspace_ml = 210,
  temperature_c = 39
)

validate_ankom(
  gp
)

# Validation also supports datasets
# created using as_rumen_gp()
