admiralmetabolic

Metabolism extension package for ADaM in R Asset Library {admiral}

Explore all the other packages in the {admiral} ecosystem to learn more about ADaM programming in R.

Purpose

To provide a complementary (to {admiral}) toolbox that enables users to develop specifics for metabolic clinical trials.

Installation

The package is available from CRAN and can be installed with:

install.packages("admiralmetabolic")

To install the latest development version of the package directly from GitHub use the following code:

install.packages("pak")
pak::pkg_install("admiralmetabolic", dependencies = TRUE)

Dependencies

The latest version of the package works with the latest versions of the packages stated in DESCRIPTION.

If a previous version of the package should be used, it is recommended to use latest version of the dependencies at the point of time when the previous version of {admiralmetabolic} was released.

Scope

• Build a toolbox of re-usable functions and utilities to create metabolism-specific ADaM datasets in R in a modular manner.
• All functions are created based upon the ADaM Implementation Guide and aim to facilitate the programming of ADaM dataset standards.
• Initially the package will focus on the obesity therapeutic area.

Expectations

{admiralmetabolic} is expected to complement {admiral} and provide functions to help with the creation of analyses required for metabolic trial ADaMs.

R Versions

Here's a summary of our strategy for this package related to R versions:

• R versions for developers and users will follow the same as {admiral} core package.
• For development the main branch of {admiral} core is used as a dependency. For releasing a new {admiralmetabolic} version it must run using the latest released {admiral} core version.
