cleanepi (development version)

cleanepi 1.1.1

Bug fixes

  • Added {systemfonts} as a dependency in Suggests as it is required to build the vignette in r-oldrel-macos-arm64 (#218, @Karim-Mane).

  • Set a default value for the orders argument of the standardize_dates() function using its initial value in version 1.0.2 (#224, @Karim-Mane).

cleanepi 1.1.0

CRAN release: 2025-03-04

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug in the index for empty rows returned by print_report() after remove_constants(). This function was incorrectly returning the number of rows in the original data frame, instead of the index of empty rows (#173, @Bisaloo).

  • Fixed a bug in the date guesser used by the standardize_dates() function. The followings updates were made (#175, @Karim-Mane):

    • allow for quarter and partial dates, and
    • account for odd cases before parsing using the {lubridate} package.

Enhancements

  • Rendering the report no longer requires the use of the {withr} package. Files generated during this process will be stored in the R temporary directory (#165, @Bisaloo).

  • Simplification and improvement of code performance across several functions (#154, #156, #162, @Bisaloo).

  • Make R version dependency explicit (#156, @Bisaloo).

  • Replace base R pipe operator with the {tidyverse} package pipe operator (#155, @Karim-Mane).

  • Stop automatic conversion of numeric values into Date due to unexpected results from date_guess() function (#151, @Karim-Mane).

  • Allow for a vector of character for na_strings argument in replace_missing_values() (#180, Karim-Mane).

  • Improved messaging to differentiate between duplicates found in the subject IDs column and duplicates across multiple columns (#180, Karim-Mane).

  • Allow for iterative constant data removal (#180, Karim-Mane).

  • The remove_constants() now works correctly when the cutoff is different from 1. More importantly, the function no longer depends on the {janitor} package (#177, Karim-Mane).

  • The scan_data() now makes use of date_guess() to parse date from characters and lubridate::as_date() to parse dates from numeric. This function now operates only on character columns (#181, Karim-Mane).

  • Replace snakecase::to_snake_case() with janitor::clean_names() and make sure variable names specified in keep and rename are preserved after applying janitor::clean_names() (#180, Karim-Mane).

  • Use the {cli} package for formatting messages in the package (#196, Karim-Mane).

  • Translate messages in the package into French using the {potools} package (#196, Karim-Mane).

  • An additional column (row_id) with the row indices where the incorrect date sequences are found is now added to the report made from the check_date_sequence() function (#196, Karim-Mane).

  • The date_guess() and related functions now returns a list of two elements: the converted values and a boolean that informs about the presence of numeric values that can also be of type Date (#181, Karim-Mane).

  • Update the package vignette to account for the improvements made in the different pull requests (#194, Karim-Mane).

Deprecated and defunct

  • Function documentations have been updated. The clean_data() no longer takes the params argument. Instead, it takes many other arguments that are described in the function documentation and the package vignettes (#184, Karim-Mane).

cleanepi 1.0.1 to 1.0.2

*Minor version release of {cleanepi} include various improvements based on feedback from the CRAN submission process.

cleanepi 1.0.0 (development version)

  • development of data cleaning modules.
