R Documentation

Daily submissions to an animal diagnostic laboratory, recorded with the dates in the ISOweek format, rather than date format

Description

This dataset is similar to "lab.weekly", but only the last month of events are included, plus one new week, in order to reflect the update of information week by week, which constitutes a common scenario when implementing syndromic surveillance. The actual dates have been altered and the animal species is not given, in order to comply with the institute's privacy policies. Further, all test information has been removed and only the final syndromic classification is given. Only the minimal nuber of columns needed to demonstrate the functionality of the package have been kept. These are: a column with the syndromic classification, a column specifying the date of submission, and one or multiple columns used to identify unique cases. In this particular dataset a case is defined as a unique combination of date, herdID and submissionID. HerdID and SubmissionID in this dataset have been altered to ensure privacy.
