Arguments

data

Dataframe. Input data with columns:

  • disease (character)

  • year (integer)

  • month (integer)

  • counts (integer)

diseases

Character vector. Diseases to include in the report

Value

Dataframe of monthly medians with one row per disease and one column per month (Jan through Dec).

Examples

data <- data.frame(
  disease = c("A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "B"),
  year = c(2022, 2023, 2024, 2022, 2023, 2024),
  month = c(1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2),
  counts = c(10, 20, 30, 5, 15, 25)
)
create_report_monthly_medians(data, c("A", "B", "C"))
