A synthetic dataset containing the number of incident cases indexed by reference date and report date. While data of this form could be from any source, this data is meant to represent the output of pre-processing the syn_nssp_line_list dataset, which is a synthetic patient-level line list data from the United State's National Syndromic Surveillance System (NSSP).

Usage

syn_nssp_df

Format

A data.frame with 3795 rows and 3 columns.

Number of incident events (e.g. cases) occurring on the specified reference date and reported on the report date.

Source

Created for package demonstration, made to look like the output after preprocessing the line-list data to obtain the number of incidence cases of a specific syndromic surveillance definition, indexed by the date of admission (reference date) and the date of the diagnoses being reported to the surveillance system (report date) (e.g. a reporting triangle in long format).
