Process Raw DHS Data — process

Transforms a raw DHS API response into the standard localintel geo / year / value structure. Handles deduplication, reference-period filtering, and composite key construction.

Usage

process_dhs(df, out_col = NULL,
  ref_period = "Five years preceding the survey",
  keep_ci = FALSE, keep_denominator = FALSE, keep_metadata = FALSE)

Arguments

df: Raw tibble from get_dhs_data() or fetch_dhs_batch().
out_col: Character name for the output value column (default: "value").
ref_period: Character string for reference-period filtering (default: "Five years preceding the survey").
keep_ci: Logical: if TRUE, retains confidence interval columns (default: FALSE).
keep_denominator: Logical: if TRUE, retains DenominatorWeighted (default: FALSE).
keep_metadata: Logical: if TRUE, retains metadata columns (default: FALSE).

Value

A tibble with columns: geo, year, and the value column (plus optional CI, denominator, and metadata columns).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
raw <- get_dhs_data(
  country_ids = c("KE", "NG"),
  indicator_ids = "CM_ECMR_C_U5M",
  breakdown = "subnational"
)
processed <- process_dhs(raw, out_col = "u5_mortality")
} # }
