Evaluate event periodicity
evaluate_periodicity(x = NULL, periodicity = NULL)
| x | extracted dataitem returned by [extract()] |
|---|---|
| periodicity | the limits of anticipated periodicity given as a character vector of length 1 in the form "(1, 6)" where the numbers are comma separated and represent the lower and upper bounds respectively. The numbers reflect the limits of the anticipated periodicity in the number of events expected in an average 24 hour period on ICU. Round and square brackets are used for non-inclusive and inclusive limits respectively. |
a tibble with (potential) error codes ready for import into the `events_quality` table.
Evaluates the periodicity of a data item. This is the frequency of events submitted. Only defined for 2d data.
A potential flaw of the current approach is that patients who undergo large breaks from treatments during a prolonged ICU stay may erroneously flag via this method (e.g. propofol). As such, quite conservative limits are typically applied so as to reduce false positive findings. This flag should be taken as a light warning.
