Check the plausibility and acceptability of weight-for-height z-score (WFHZ) data

Source: R/plausibility_check_wfhz.R
mw_plausibility_check_wfhz.Rd

Check the overall plausibility and acceptability of WFHZ data through a structured test suite encompassing sampling and measurement-related biases checks in the dataset. The test suite, including the criteria and corresponding rating of acceptability, follows the standards in the SMART plausibility check. The only exception is the exclusion of MUAC checks. MUAC is checked separately using more comprehensive test suite as well.

The function works on a data frame returned from this package's wrangling function for age and for WFHZ data.

Usage

mw_plausibility_check_wfhz(df, sex, age, weight, height, flags)

Arguments

df

A dataset object of class data.frame to check.

sex

A vector of class numeric of child's sex.

age

A vector of class double of child's age in months.

weight

A vector of class double of child's weight in kilograms.

height

A vector of class double of child's height in centimeters.

flags

A vector of class numeric of flagged records.

Value

A summarised table of class data.frame, of length 19 and width 1, for the plausibility test results and their respective acceptability rates.

Examples

## First wrangle age data ----
data <- mw_wrangle_age(
  df = anthro.01,
  dos = dos,
  dob = dob,
  age = age,
  .decimals = 2
)

## Then wrangle WFHZ data ----
data_wfhz <- mw_wrangle_wfhz(
  df = data,
  sex = sex,
  weight = weight,
  height = height,
  .recode_sex = TRUE
)
#> ================================================================================

## Now run the plausibility check ----
mw_plausibility_check_wfhz(
  df = data_wfhz,
  sex = sex,
  age = age,
  weight = weight,
  height = height,
  flags = flag_wfhz
)
