A basic reporting_triangle object demonstrating standard structure with complete early reference times and progressively incomplete recent times. Useful for simple examples and tests.
Format
A reporting_triangle object with 5 reference dates and 4 delays:
- reporting_triangle_matrix
5x4 matrix with counts
- reference_dates
5 dates starting from 2024-01-01
- delays_unit
"days"
Details
This is a simple, clean example without complications like negative values or unusual structures. Ideal for:
Package examples demonstrating basic functionality
Unit tests for standard cases
Vignettes introducing nowcasting concepts
Use example_downward_corr_rt for examples with data quality corrections.
