--- title: "README" author: "Bob Rudis" date: January 10, 2015 output: md_document: variant: markdown_github --- The CDC's FluView is a Flash portal and the only way to get flu season data is to use GUI controls, making it tedious to retrieve updates. This package uses the same API the portal does to programmatically retrieve data. The following functions are implemented: - `get_flu_data` : retrieve flu data The following data sets are included: ### News - Version 0.1 released ### Installation ```{r eval=FALSE} devtools::install_github("hrbrmstr/cdcfluview") ``` ```{r echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, error=FALSE} options(width=120) ``` ### Usage ```{r} library(cdcfluview) library(ggplot2) # current verison packageVersion("cdcfluview") flu <- get_flu_data("hhs", sub_region=1:10, "ilinet", years=2014) dplyr::glimpse(flu) gg <- ggplot(flu, aes(x=WEEK, y=X..WEIGHTED.ILI, group=REGION)) gg <- gg + geom_line() gg <- gg + facet_wrap(~REGION, ncol=2) gg <- gg + theme_bw() ``` ```{r echo=FALSE, fig.height=10, fig.width=6} gg ``` ### Test Results ```{r} library(cdcfluview) library(testthat) date() test_dir("tests/") ```
