Convert to Data Table

Description

[Stable] Convenience function that sets the number of {data.table} cores to 1 and maps input to be a {data.table}

Usage

setup_dt(data)

Arguments

data

A ⁠<data.frame>⁠ of confirmed cases (confirm) by date (date). confirm must be numeric and date must be in date format. Optionally this can also have a logical accumulate column which indicates whether data should be added to the next data point. This is useful when modelling e.g. weekly incidence data. See also the fill_missing() function which helps add the accumulate column with the desired properties when dealing with non-daily data. If any accumulation is done this happens after truncation as specified by the truncation argument.

Value

A data table
