France: cases data missing for dates before mid May #31

Closed karimn closed 4 years ago

karimn commented 4 years ago

In the spread data for France the variable new_confirmed is NA for dates before 5/13. We need this data for the "contact rate" trend of the mobility model.

This might be the cause of bug #28

Junyi-Que commented 4 years ago

I checked the latest dataset, in which subnational cases data is completely dropped for France. I'm suspicious that it is because they don't have good one. I'll search for data myself and try to append it but recommend that we drop France for now.

Thanks!

@Junyi-Que this is not critical for now, so getting a reply from repo owner as to why France was dropped might be better than searching for data yourself

@karimn the whole rule about setting t to first case was just a temporary solution anyway-- maybe we should discuss how to make it realistic? (Ultimately t is a parameter that we should be estimating, but it's just so poorly identified that we should not bother...) But I am torn between setting it to be similar for many countries vs setting it to mirror some pre-defined value (e.g. midpoint in decrease t* = 1000 confirmed cases) which is very variable across countries.

@wwiecek I've sent the inquiry email and will update once they get backed to me.

Thanks! Out of interest, what was the issue?

It seems that something went wrong with the source they previously used and they just switched.
