Overview

About

Maintained by Sol LibesmanCRAN page ↗Repository ↗

The integrity package implements the IPD Integrity Tool, a structured and transparent framework for evaluating the integrity of individual participant data (IPD) from randomised trials (see Hunter et al. (2024) doi:10.1002/jrsm.1738 and doi:10.1002/jrsm.1739). It supports users to identify potential issues, such as unusual data patterns, implausible values, lack of expected correlations, date violations, and inconsistencies. The package provides reproducible workflows for screening, documenting and summarising integrity concerns, and may be applied by evidence synthesists, editors, and others to determine whether a randomised trial may be considered sufficiently trustworthy to contribute to the evidence base that informs policy and practice.

Changes in 1.0.3

Changed item 2.1 to a two-sided Wald-Wolfowitz runs test, aligning it with the published IPD Integrity Tool. Small or unbalanced category counts use exact conditional p-values; larger counts use a normal approximation.
Item 2.1 detailed output now reports observed and expected runs, missing counts, p-values, and test methods instead of adjacent-pair counts. This changes the columns in detail_tables[["2.1"]].
Item 2.1 now sorts by the nominated randomisation date, retaining row order for ties. It warns and falls back to row order if no usable dates are available. Partly missing dates are excluded from this item with a warning.
Clarified omission of missing baseline values and interpretation of untestable variables for item 2.1; recorded the ordering and date exclusions in the detailed output.

Install

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

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

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

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-integrity

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-integrity

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-integrity

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.
