rome medits survey data r-code

Abstract

RoME allows to perform multiple checks on MEDITS survey data. The last updated release is also available on the GitHub repository (https://github.com/COISPA/RoME).
In order to unify the checks that are made independently over the MEDITS data by the 18 GSAs (Geographical Sub-Area) participating to MEDITS Survey, an R code performing all the main checks on exchange MEDITS data tables was developed. The first version of RoME has been presented for the first time in the MEDITS Coordination meeting held in Nantes (March 2011).

The use of RoME by experts belonging to different GSAs participating to MEDITS Programme brought to the implementation of several adjustments of the functions. The package does not correct the data, but it detects the errors, warning the user that there is the possibility of one or more errors, specifying the type of the error and easing the data correction.The check is performed simultaneously on the files that can contain also data of more than one year.

The current updated version of the package, including revised and new functions, allows to check all the MEDITS' data exchange tables (TA, TB, TC, TE and TL). New functionalities were also included to perform the check in continuous, without breaks in the process, and reporting all the  inconsistencies detected at the end of the analysis.
