| readData {surveillance} | R Documentation |
Reading of disease data. In the package disease data are saved in a file <abb>.txt containing three columns – the weeknumber (week), the observed number of counts (observed) and a state (state). The data are read using read.table(...,header=T), hence the file has to contain a header.
readData(abb,week53to52=TRUE,sysPath=TRUE)
abb |
abbreviation of the diseasename. |
week53to52 |
Boolean indicating whether to convert RKI 53 Weeks System to 52 weeks a year |
sysPath |
Boolean, if TRUE then R automatically looks in the data directory of the surveillance package. |
This function is only kept for backwards compability. As of 0.9-2 all data should be read with data.
