This PR addresses part of #41. It adds the ability to anonymise the names in a line list and contact tracing data.
The
.anonymise()internal function has been added to convert individual's names into a fixed length alphanumeric string (similar to, but simpler than, hashing).The
add_namesargument insim_linelist()andsim_outcome()has been replaced byanonymise, and theanonymiseargument has been added tosim_contacts(). When simulating withanonymise = TRUEthe output ofsim_outbreak()is now fully anonymised, whereas in v0.2.0 only the line list<data.frame>has names removed, while the contact tracing table has infector and infectee names remaining. This is rectified in this PR which properly implements a simple random anonymisation.The dimensions of the line list or contact tracing data is the unchanged by the
anonymiseargument. This brings the package in line with the design principle on robust and predictable data outputs added to the design principles vignette in #104.Tests (including snapshots) and documentation have been updated in line with the above-mentioned updates.
