admiral

ADaM in R Asset Library

Purpose

To provide an open source, modularized toolbox that enables the pharmaceutical programming community to develop ADaM datasets in R.

Installation

Once the package is available from CRAN you'll be able to install it using install.packages("admiral").

In the meantime you can install the latest release of the package directly from GitHub.

if (!requireNamespace("remotes", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("remotes")
}
remotes::install_github("Roche-GSK/admiral.test") # This is a required dependency of {admiral}
remotes::install_github("Roche-GSK/admiral")

Scope

Build a toolbox of re-usable functions and utilities to create ADaM datasets using R scripts in a modular manner
Pharmaceutical communities and companies are encouraged to contribute to admiral following the provided programming strategy and modular approach
All functions are documented, tested, include examples and are listed in the Reference section
Vignettes how to create ADSL, BDS and OCCUR datasets, including example scripts
Vignettes for ADaM dataset specific functionality (i.e. dictionary coding, date imputation, SMQs ...)

Usage

Think of admiral as a toolbox of modular blocks (R functions) to create analysis derivations
- Each block has a stand alone purpose, i.e. each function provides a specific functionality
- Data Scientists can create their own blocks, i.e. create own R functions
Constructing ADaM dataset should become like building out of blocks that are based on admiral modular functions and user created modular functions
