Clean Date

Source: R/utilities.R
clean.DATE.Rd

This function expands clean.DoB() function and uses the lubridate::parse_date_time() function to determine the provided date by trying

  • Month - Day - Year

  • Year - Month - Day

  • Day - Month - Year

  • Month - Year

  • Year -Month

The function determines if the provided date contains month-day-year or month- year information.

This function is currently not available. Need to add a logical parameter. A date with a year five-years before the current year or later is reduced by 100-years. For example, if the resulting year is 2020 (this description was written in 2022) the returned date has a year of 1920.
