This package contains data sets used to compile vignettes and other documentation in Delphi R Packages. The goal is to avoid calls to the Delphi Epidata API, and deposit some examples here for easy offline use.
You can install the development version of {epidatasets} like so:
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pkg_install("cmu-delphi/epidatasets")This package contains a number of different datasets, along with the code used to generate them. See the Source Code if you want to examine the necessary API calls.
All data included here is in epi_df format, which is a subclass of
tbl_df which is a subclass of data.frame. The data will print nicely
if you load the {epiprocess} or {tibble} packages, but these are not
required to access or inspect the data sets. For example,
library(epidatasets)

Note that an epi_df comes with metadata (visible in that final
version), that describes the observation frequency, time_type, the
unit of geographical measurement, geo_type and the data vintage,
as_of. For more on these, see the {epiprocess}.
For the more visually inclined, that particular data set contains reported 7-day averaged cases and deaths per capita for a handful of US states.
