plot_coverage parameters

[ManuelVelarde2212]

Hello, I want to know why the unit parameter in the plot_coverage function was deprecated.
I was reviewing a publication of RPubs where I knew this project and when I replicated it I discovered that the plot_coverage function was refactored, everything was fine until I noticed that units can no longer be used.

I think it would be good to reconsider this change and recover the units parameter as it was:
unit = c(“day”, “month”, “year”), because it was very useful.

If not, please let me know why it is no longer available.

I was looking at the rest of the publication of RPubs and noticed that I am not able to use other functions as get_immunization_date, set_status, get_time_to_event, plot_survival or coh_eff_noconf.
Why do that functions are not exported to be used?

Hello @ManuelVelarde2212. Thanks for your interest in our package! You can still access all the functions presented in Taller de evaluación de efectividad de vacunas con diseño de cohorte poblacional mediante vaccineff using version v0.0.1 of {vaccineff}. To install it, please run the following code on your computer:

# First, uninstall any version you already have installed 
remove.packages("vaccineff")

# Install vaccineff 0.0.1
pak::pak("epiverse-trace/[email protected]")

Since {vaccineff} is at an experimental stage of development, you will find a lot of differences between versions. I also recommend having a look at the new version v0.0.4, for which we enhanced usability by masking many of the functions in v0.0.1 using S3 objects. We deprecated the units in this version because of a bug induced by the new version of the {scales} package. Note that plot_coverage() will also be deprecated in v0.0.5 (under preparation) and absorbed by the plot method of the vaccineff_data object (see Issue #85). Detailed documentation and explanations for the package are available in the vignette for Cohort Designs. To install it, follow a similar procedure as above, but replace the version with v0.0.4.

Thank you very much, the answer cleared up all my doubts. Congratulations and keep up the good work. I will be happy to see how the project progresses.
