Identifying differences between ONS and Coronasurveys COVID-19 case count estimates
Data was gathered from the links above and stored to data/raw/.
Coronasurveys regional data for England (ENG), Northern Ireland (NIR), Wales (WLS), and Scotland (SCT) track the total percentage of cases, while the ONS data tracks only the percentage of active infected cases.
We also included the dataset for all regions from the Coronasurveys project, which tracks active infected cases.
This data was then processed by either coronasurveys.R or ons.R to remove unnecessary columns and format percentages as a number out of 100.
The processed data can be found in data/processed/.
The filter.R script (or the filter-gb.R script in the case of the Coronasurveys data for the entire UK) was used to eliminate NA values from the data and leave only days where both the Coronasurveys and ONS datasets were complete.
This data, used for generating plots, is available at data/filtered/.
To see all plots generated from the filtered datasets, run plot.py.
