Defines functions syndromicW

Documented in syndromicW

##' Create an object of the class \code{syndromicW} from pre-cleaned data.
##' 
##' Syndromic is the main class of the package. Two versions are available,
##' \code{syndromicD}, which is intended for use when data are to be monitored daily,
##' and \code{syndromicW}, which is to be used when data are monitored weekly.
##' 
##' The observed data are assumed to be formatted as a \code{matrix}, in 
##' which each row corresponds to an observation time point (here, WEEKS),
##' columns correspond to each syndromic group to be monitored, and the
##' numbers refer to the number of observatiosn per group per time point.
##' For an example of data formatted this way use date(observedW). For data
##' not formatted use directly the function \code{raw_to_syndromicW}.
##' 
##' The dates are expected to be a \code{data.frame} with the first column
##' in the \code{ISOweek} format, though the function will also accept a
##' minimum and maximum week, and take care of constructing the appropriate
##' data frame (this is the recommended use). 
##' 
##' @param observed A \code{matrix} with the observed data
##' @param dates A \code{data.frame} with the complete ISOweeks of of each 
##' time point in the first column (each row in the matrix provided in \code{observed}).
##' @param min.week Alternative to providing dates: the user can specify the
##' minimum week-year, and the maximum week-year, 
##' and the function will generate
##' a complete sequence of weeks between them. This is the recommended use
##' of the function because then additional date variables will also be created
##' and assigned to the slot dates, such as ISOweek, year and numerical weeks. 
##' Note that the sequence must match the number of rows
##' in the matrix \code{observed}.
##' @param min.year see min.week above
##' @param max.week see min.week above
##' @param max.year see min.week above
##' 
##' @param baseline Optional argument. A \code{matrix} of same dimensions as \code{observed},
##' containing observed data that has been pre-processed to remove excessive noise
##' and outbreak signals retrospectively, generating an "outbreak-free baseline".
##' Normally syndromic objects are created without this slot,
##' receiving by default an empty matrix. Methods within this package are then used
##' to create this slot from data on \code{observed}.
##' @param alarms Optional argument. An \code{array} with the same number of 
##' rows and columns as \code{observed}, with an additional dimension to store
##' the alarm output of multiple detection algorithms used. Normally syndromic 
##' objects are created without this slot,
##' receiving by default an empty array. Methods within this package are then used
##' to create this slot from data on \code{observed}.
##' @param UCL Optional argument. An \code{array} with the same number of 
##' rows and columns as \code{observed}, with an additional dimension to store
##' the upper control limit output of multiple detection algorithms used.
##' Normally syndromic objects are created without this slot,
##' receiving by default an empty array. Methods within this package are then used
##' to create this slot from data on \code{observed}.
##' @param LCL Lower control limit. See UCL above. 
##' @param formula A formula, or list of formulas, specifying the regression formula to be used
##'     when removing temporal patterns from each of the syndromes in @observed. For instance 
##'     formula=list(y~dow+mon) for a single syndrome, where regression must take into 
##'     account the variables dow (day-of-week) and month;
##'     or formula=c(y~dow, y~dow+mon) specifying two different formulas for two syndromes. 
##'     The names of the variables given should exist in the columns of the slot @dates. 
##'     Make sure that formulas' index match the
##'     columns in observed (for instance the second formula should correspond to the second
##'     syndrome, or second column in the observed matrix).You can provide NA for syndromes
##'     which should not be associated with any formula. This parameter is often only filled after 
##'     some analysis in the data, not at the time of object creation.

##' @name syndromicW
##' @return an object of the class \code{syndromicW} with the slots
