How does Censorship work?

[ericaVoss]

I know that ACHILLES doesn't show records that have a cell size count of 5 or less. The minimum cell count in CatalogExport is 100. How that the censorship and rounding work in CatalogExport?

If I have 6 rows, would it be excluded or rounded to 100?

They will be rounded to 100.

Whether it is excluded depends on how the smallCellCount parameter of catalogueExport function is set.
If the `smallCellCount is set to 100, then all counts from 1 to 100 are excluded in the results

Note that by default the smallCellCount is set to 5, meaning that all counts are included (albeit rounded up to 100 at a minimum).

I opened an issue for that last note: #37

It should also be noted that analyses that are not based on concept_ids, are not rounded to nearest 100:

• 0,1,2,3,101,102,108,109,110,111,112,113,117 (person counts by gender, age, obs_period length, etc.)
• 220, 420, 502, 720, 820, 920, 1020, 1820, 2120 (count by month)
