Diagnostics

historical.diagnostic contains two kinds of diagnostics, which are descriptions of part or all of a data set:

  • coverage concerns which areas (countries or regions), time periods, and measures are included, or not.

  • quality includes sanity checks, such as computed/derived statistics for data, and their comparison to reference values.

These can be run using the CLI command ixmp historical diagnostic FOLDER. Output is produced in a new folder named FOLDER.
