A tibble describing for each exposure-outcome-analysisId combination where the intermediary and
outcome model files can be found, relative to the outputFolder
.
An R object of type ConnectionDetails
created using
the function DatabaseConnector::createConnectionDetails()
.
The name of the database schema that contains the OMOP CDM instance. Requires read permissions to this database. On SQL Server, this should specify both the database and the schema, so for example 'cdm_instance.dbo'.
Some database platforms like Oracle and Impala do not truly support temp tables. To emulate temp tables, provide a schema with write privileges where temp tables can be created.
The name of the database schema that is the location where
the exposure data used to define the exposure cohorts is
available. If exposureTable = "DRUG_ERA"
,
exposureDatabaseSchema
is not used but assumed to be
cdmDatabaseSchema
. Requires read permissions to this database.
The table name that contains the exposure cohorts. If
exposureTable <> "DRUG_ERA"
, then expectation is exposureTable
has format of COHORT table: cohort_concept_id, SUBJECT_ID,
COHORT_START_DATE, COHORT_END_DATE.
The name of the database schema that is the location where the data used to define the outcome cohorts is available. Requires read permissions to this database.
The table name that contains the outcome cohorts.
The name of the database schema that is the location where the custom covariate data is available.
Name of the table holding the custom covariates. This table should have the same structure as the cohort table.
The name of the database schema that is the location where the nesting cohort is defined.
Name of the table holding the nesting cohort. This table should have the same structure as the cohort table.
Name of the folder where all the outputs will written to.
An object of type SccsMultiThreadingSettings
as created using
the createSccsMultiThreadingSettings()
or
createDefaultSccsMultiThreadingSettings()
functions.
An object of type SccsAnalysesSpecifications
as created using
the createSccsAnalysesSpecifications()
function
Run a list of analyses for the exposures-outcomes of interest. This function will run all
specified analyses against all hypotheses of interest, meaning that the total number of outcome
models is length(sccsAnalysisList) * length(exposuresOutcomeList)
When you provide several analyses
it will determine whether any of the analyses have anything in common, and will take advantage of
this fact.
Normally, runSccsAnalyses
will run all combinations of exposures-outcome-analyses settings.
However, sometimes we may not need all those combinations. Using the analysesToExclude
argument,
we can remove certain items from the full matrix. This argument should be a data frame with at least
one of the following columns:
exposureId
outcomeId
nestingCohortId
analysisId
This data frame will be joined to the outcome model reference table before executing, and matching rows will be removed. For example, if one specifies only one exposure ID and analysis ID, then any analyses with that exposure and that analysis ID will be skipped.
