Details

Reads KEDS output and optionally applies the scrub_keds cleaning function and the one_a_day duplicate removal filter. This function is thin wrapper around read.csv.

This function assumes that d are a vector of KEDS/TABARI output files. These are assumed to be tab separated text files wherein the first field is a date in yymmdd format or as specified by date.format, the second and third fields are actor codes, the fourth field is an event code, and the fifth field is a text label for the event type, and the sixth field is a quote - some kind of text from which the event code was inferred. Label and quote are optional and can be discarded when reading in.
