Implementing Cause-of-Death Data Checks Based on the WHO CoDEdit Tool

The World Health Organization's CoDEdit electronic tool is intended to help producers of cause-of-death statistics in strengthening their capacity to perform routine checks on their data. This package ports the original tool built using Microsoft Access into R so as to leverage the utility and function of the original tool into a usable application program interface that can be used for building more universal tools or for creating programmatic scientific workflows aimed at routine, automated, and large-scale monitoring of cause-of-death data quality.
