Description

Usage

clinspacy_init(
  miniconda = TRUE,
  use_linker = FALSE,
  linker_threshold = 0.99,
  ...
)

Arguments

miniconda

Defaults to TRUE, which results in miniconda being installed (~400 MB) and configured with the "clinspacy" conda environment. If you want to override this behavior, set miniconda to FALSE and specify an alternative environment using use_python() or use_conda().

use_linker

Defaults to FALSE. To turn on the UMLS linker, set this to TRUE.

linker_threshold

Defaults to 0.99. This arguemtn is only relevant if use_linker is set to TRUE. It refers to the confidence threshold value used by the scispacy UMLS entity linker. Note: This can be lower than the threshold from clinspacy_init). The linker_threshold can only be set once per session.
