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

Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. Lifecycle: experimental codeditr status badge R-CMD-check test-coverage Codecov test coverage CodeFactor DOI

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. The aim is to leverage the utility and function of the original tool into a usable application program interface (API) 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.
