Overview

About

Maintained by Dan ChaltielCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

A convenient toolbox to import data exported from Electronic Data Capture (EDC) software 'TrialMaster'.

Changes in 0.7.0

New features

New function compare_databases(), which compares the structure of several extractions of a database: added/removed columns, number of patients, etc (#26). See the examples for a demo.
Cache system is supported in all reading functions read_all_csv(), read_all_sas(), and read_all_xpt() (#75).
New features in edc_viewer():
Support for multiple instances on different ports with custom datasets (#100, #114)\ For instance, you can now run edc_viewer(data=lst(iris, mtcars), port=1212)
New button to browse all the column labels (#113).

Bug fixes & Improvements

Fixed modifiers edc_clean_names(), edc_unify_subjid(), and edc_split_mixed() so they don't strip database attributes (like project name) (#111).
Fixed edc_data_stop() so it works without a SUBJID and defaults to no issue number (#109).
Fixed assert_no_duplicate() so it works in table with both columns SUBJID and subjid (#105).
Fixed bugs in edc_left_join() with case-sensitivity on SUBJID (#108, #117).

Show all changes in 0.7.0Hide the rest of the changes in 0.7.0

Improved save_edc_data_warnings() with options to hide the resolved issues and to not include stops, and better default path (#107, #110, #112)
Improved reading functions so that all tables are sorted by SUBJID (#115).
Improved reading functions so that each dataset has a label attribute, taken from FORMDESC or CRFNAME (#118).
Improved edc_swimmerplot() by removing origin by default (#106).
Improved edc_swimmerplot() by adding arguments origin_fun to summarise origin at patient level using, and data_list to control the datasets.
Improved edc_warn_extraction_date() with a strict unit "days".
Improved save_plotly() with a glue syntax for parameter file.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("EDCimport", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("DanChaltiel/EDCimport")

Development version from DanChaltiel/EDCimport. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-edcimport

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-EDCimport

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-EDCimport

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
