Overview

About

Maintained by David CuminCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Calculates Days Alive and Out of Hospital (DAOH) from administrative admission/discharge/mortality data using three algorithms (nights, days, exact) and three death-handling approaches (midday, midnight, zero). Includes tools for comparing methods (Bland-Altman, ICC, reclassification), and plotting.

Changes in 0.2.6

Changes (default units)

DAOH is now reported in **days by default** across the package, for a single consistent and interpretable unit. bland_altman_daoh(), plot_daoh_dist(), daoh_reclassify(), daoh_reclassify_centile(), and daoh_icc() now default to use_pc = FALSE (days); pass use_pc = TRUE for percentage of the period.
daoh_summary() gains a use_pc argument (default FALSE, days).
**Behaviour change:** code relying on the previous percentage defaults must now pass use_pc = TRUE. For daoh_icc() and daoh_reclassify() the result is unchanged (the statistic is invariant to the per-period rescaling); for bland_altman_daoh(), plot_daoh_dist(), and daoh_summary() the reported values switch from percentage to days.

Install

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

install.packages("daoh", 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("davecumin/daoh")

Development version from davecumin/daoh. 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-daoh

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-daoh

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-daoh

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.
