📦 R Package of the Week: {linelist}

Turn data frames into #linelist objects by:

✅ Tagging key epidemiological variables (so you're not tied to column names)
✅ Validation to ensure tagged variables are of the correct type
✅ Safeguard against accidental loss of tagged variables during wrangling

🧵 report in thread (1/3)
Data.org: Contribution To The DPG Ecosystem In 2024. Epiverse-trace DPG Development. The Epiverse TRACE initiative focuses on building a high-quality, open-source, and transparent analytics toolkit. This effort helps to inform professionals working on epidemic responserespons ande, aimisng to increase the use of epidemiological data-analytics tools by field epidemiologists, ministries of health, researchers, and decision-makers to improve the reproducibility and scalability of epidemic response. The project emphasises community-driven software development, with a focus on user needs. Key principles include software development and training materials as co-creation, lean and agile collaboration, decentralising code ownership, code reviews, documentation and how they can be, being part of the digital public goods landscape, and community health. Epiverse TRACE also prioritises the integration of existing tools over developing new ones and uses open-source, liberal licenses for their tools. data.org is developing a suite of open-source R packages and training materials for outbreak analytics and aims to build upon open data standards and develop interoperability with existing data resources within the public health and data science ecosystem.
