How to add data?

We will try to create a better repository and data submission system at a later stage. The purpose of the current package is only to share examplar datasets during the hackathon. Acceptable forms are:

  • as a .RData files in the data/ folder (recommended)
  • as a text file in the inst/ folder
  • as a function loading/assembling/simulating a dataset

Naming Conventions

We use the lower case throughout, and snake_case (using underscores) to separate words for the files and dataset names, so that for a RData object, a new dataset woud look like: `my_new_data_RData'. Try using informative names, typically using the disease first. Whenever available, order fields as:

  1. disease: mandatory
  2. location: optional
  3. year: optional
  4. sim: mandatory if this is a simulated dataset; otherwise data is assume to be an actual outbreak
  5. other: (any other relevant information)
