Summarize value over the trailing epiweek
average_to_epiweek(daily_df, return_sum = TRUE) sum_to_epiweek(daily_df)
| daily_df | a data frame containing the columns |
|---|---|
| return_sum | multiply the average by 7 to compute the total cases per week (the default) or return the average over the week |
a data frame of the same type with 1 row per complete epiweek. The
time_value entries will be modified to correspond to the last day
(a Saturday) of each epiweek.
These functions vary only in the manner of the calculation. average_*()
computes the average over the week ignoring NA's and returns the result.
sum_* sums over the epiweek. Thus in the absence of missing values, the
results (when return_sum = TRUE) will be the same. However, if there are
missing values, the result of sum_*() will be lower but will accurately
reflect the reported totals.
