admiralpeds
Pediatrics extension package for ADaM in R Asset Library {admiral}
Purpose
To provide a complementary (to {admiral}) toolbox that enables users
to develop specifics for pediatric clinical trials.
Installation
The package is available from CRAN and can be installed with:
install.packages("admiralpeds")To install the development version of the package from GitHub run:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("pharmaverse/admiralpeds")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 {admiralpeds} was released.
Scope
- Build a toolbox of re-usable functions and utilities to create pediatrics-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 Anthropometric indicators (i.e. child growth/development charts).
Expectations
{admiralpeds} is expected to complement {admiral} and provide
functions to help with the creation of analyses required
for pediatric 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
mainbranch of{admiral}core is used as a dependency. For releasing a new{admiralpeds}version it must run using the latest released{admiral}core version.
