1#' @title Acquire data in a clean format
2#'
3#' @description Take in input data frames and/or files containing raw data, and timezones, and
4#' output a Data object, roughly corresponding to a list where each cell contains all value
5#' for one day (see \code{?Data}). Current limitation: series (in working_tz) must start at
6#' right after midnight (to keep in sync with exogenous vars)
7#'
8#' @param ts_data Time-series, as a data frame (DB style: 2 columns, first is date/time,
9#' second is value) or a CSV file
10#' @param exo_data Exogenous variables, as a data frame or a CSV file; first comlumn is dates,
11#' next block are measurements for the day, and final block are exogenous forecasts
12#' @param input_tz Timezone in the input files ("GMT" or e.g. "Europe/Paris")
13#' @param date_format How date/time are stored (e.g. year/month/day hour:minutes;
14#' see \code{strptime})
15#' @param working_tz Timezone to work with ("GMT" or e.g. "Europe/Paris")
16#' @param predict_at When does the prediction take place ? Integer, in hours. Default: 0
17#'
18#' @return An object of class Data
19#'
