Extract metadata from raw data

Description

Extract metadata from raw data, either by reference or by report date. For the target date chosen (reference or report), confirm, ⁠max_confirm``, and ⁠cum_prop_reported' are dropped and the first observation for each group and date is retained.

Usage

enw_metadata(obs, target_date = c("reference_date", "report_date"))

Arguments

obs	A data.frame or data.table with columns: reference_date and / or report_date; at least one must be provided, .group, a grouping column and a date, a Date column.
target_date	A character string, either "reference_date" or "report_date". The column corresponding to this string will be used as the target date for metadata extraction.

Value

A data.table with columns:

• date, a Date column

• .group, a grouping column

and the first observation for each group and date. The data.table is sorted by .group and date.
