Validate WCS Surveys Data

validate_wcs_surveys.Rd

Validates Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) survey data by performing quality checks and calculating catch metrics. The function follows these main steps:

  1. Preprocesses survey data

  2. Validates catches using predefined thresholds for weights, counts and prices

  3. Calculates revenue and CPUE metrics

  4. Uploads validated data to cloud storage

Usage

validate_wcs_surveys(log_threshold = logger::DEBUG)

Arguments

log_threshold

The logging level threshold for the logger package (e.g., DEBUG, INFO)

Value

None. Writes validated data to parquet file and uploads to cloud storage

Details

The validation includes:

  • Basic data quality checks (e.g., negative catches, missing values)

  • Gear-specific validations (e.g., number of fishers per gear type)

  • Weight thresholds by catch type (individual vs bucket measures)

  • Market price validations (valid price ranges per kg)
