Improvement: Add plausibility-checks #1881

Closed rsalzer closed 6 months ago

rsalzer commented 3 years ago

When scraping it would be helpful if we could add plausibility-checks for some numbers and when they fail warn or throw an error. Eg: ncumul_conf can never decrease over time.

Hi @metaodi, (since there are already a bunch of plausibility checks running), can I point to somewhere, where they are "listed"?

rsalzer commented 3 years ago

If there are plausibility checks running, they don't seem to "stop" the publishing of data when:

ncumul_conf decreases significantly
ncumul_deceased decreases significantly

Its surely possible that data gets corrected but it would be nice if in this rare case someone needs to "approve" these numbers instead of them being nonetheless published automatically...

Hey @metaodi We are considering, archiving this repo, because there is no activity anymore and it seems, there will be no activity in the future 🤞. Otherwise it can be unarchived if necessary. Therefore we're checking all open issues. What about this one? Is it still important or can you either close this one as completed or close as not planned? Thank you!
